This summer microdrones' md4-1000 achieved something no other quadcopter had previously done. The unmanned aerial system, which was equipped with the latest GPS technology from u-blox and an HD camera from Sony, conquered the Alps by crossing the Saint-Gotthard Pass connecting Switzerland and Italy.

"Microdone' sounds ominous. These sights are gorgeous. Such is my ambivalence to technology.
