You don't want the audio that comes from the raw multi-copter video footage, it just sounds like a thousand bee's swarming around.

Had to turn off the sound, agree with Dave too about the editing, but the concept is fantastic.

11 minutes of battery run time would limit the use as well

agreed...but this is how you sell an event and get some people who don't know what all the hoopla is about with us cigar boat people LOL.

He is the kid that shot the epic Bimini video and he did a great video of a Spencer sportfish also.

He did a great job. Something creative and new instead of the same old heli shot of running along and gopro's on the hull. Now if you get a combination of all three edited together, you'll truly take it to the next level

They are pretty easy to operate at a basic level. Like anything else it takes some skill to get a great result. I am at the wow-that-is-amazing stage with mine, slowly learning how to use it with some finesse.

Yes - about 25 minutes with Vision 2.

I agree, these are going to change everything. For now they are legal and reasonably affordable. The built in software is what makes them usable by just about anyone.
