    Coptervision minihelicopter

    The National Association of Broadcasters 2006 electronic-media conference, offering a showcase of the latest broadcasting technology, is taking place this week in Las Vegas.

    One gadget on display there is the CVG-A "autonomous" minihelicopter from Van Nuys, Calif.-based Coptervision. Production companies can rent the little whirlybird--starting at $5,000--to film commercials, movies and music videos or to take still photographs. Coptervision plans to begin selling its helicopters in the fall.

    These are the controls for the camera mounted on a remote-controlled car. The vehicle needs two people to control it: one to drive the car via remote control and another to operate the onboard camera.
