Although the smaller drones for GoPro aren't too expensive.

Here's a good video of the floods on the Somerset Levels (just down road from me),

Some other good drone vids . . .

My DSLR is famous for being dire at video, thus I never use it for that. But video, especially this aerial stuff is of real interest. Hazard a guess one of these things will crash through a window of a government quango sometime in the UK causing a bureaucrat named Derek a minor injury following which they'll require CAA approved licensing and thus be banned, so it's probably a bit risky making a big investment if you want to go into the drone video business.

T, I've posted in the wrong forum, can you move to the Equipment sub-forum, thanks.

Done.

I've also been very interested in doing this ever since I saw TV member rcpilot's aerial videos. Considering building my own.

It's definitely a project.

I'd have to build it in Issan though, not much to hit there..

Looking around, if you use a GoPro Hero 3 Black MkII and a smaller drone, this is sub-£1000. Not so peng after all.

If you want to just try it out cheap then the toy versions will work to get a feel of it. Syma X5c for example for $89.99 USD. Comes with an HD camera. Obvious not going to be the best video quality but still entertaining.

Yeah, was reading the commercial use had been banned in the US but the consumer market is unaffected.

Seems a crackin' system for a video hobbyist.

I think I am more like Arthur.

Recently acquired (Friday); that was my first ever shot. Since then I have updated firmware so it will shoot RAW which may improve the IQ. Very very cool machine.
