    Verizon Wireless FPV commercial

    Verizon Wireless hired me to test the latency of their new 4G network by flying one of my quads thru an obstacle course using 2 cell phone and a chat service.
    Here is a link to the video.

    Very cool, dude! Did they find you because it was their idea or did you bring the idea to them?
