A guy here just opened up a MR only store at a local mall. Wonder if he will survive. He has a lot of toy helis so that should get him through Xmas at least.

If this could totally replace brushless gimbals it would have value, otherwise, not so much.

Since its possible to get perfectly smooth footage now, i question the value of this. I haven't had to use warp once in the past year. Production companies don't want the loss in fidelity/cropping/cost in time these systems always have. It is always better to have an image that never moved than...

Hobby King is the worst vendor I have ever dealt with in the hobby industry. They have jacked me around for months on three separate occasions when a normal vendor would have quickly corrected the problem. They are horrible.

It reminds me of the black armored drone. So expensive everyone is afraid to actually push it enough to get interesting shots with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGLnXGlc1lA

This is the expected reaction to the exponentially increasing number of videos being posted by cowboys flying their MR's above the clouds into manned airspace as someone already pointed out. In most of these videos the pilot is not being admonished for being unsafe but rather are complimented...

Think about it. You walk into a video store, you see 8-Minute Abs sittin' there, there's 7-Minute Abs right beside it. Which one are you gonna pick, man? Ted: I would go for the 7. Hitchhiker: Bingo, man, bingo. 7-Minute Abs. And we guarantee just as good a workout as the 8-minute folk. Ted: You...

I know of at least two people who have SR helis going 80 mph hauling Red Epics. At the moment the only way to do that with a multi is toss it off a tall building.

A local brain surgeon placed a full page advert for $150 aerials using an S800 this week. His angle is flying over your kids sporting events. The end is in sight. I think I am just going to mail it to the local FSDO as a public service. This past year several clients confessed that they tried...

They said the Epic still worked. They are built like tanks. The Canon lens was toast so $30k is close with the Movi busted.

I feel bad for him also. These are the times when you find out what the small print in your insurance policy means.

I predict first quarter earnings won't meet expectations.

For a servo driven gimbal, is there enough improvement in performance above stock radians to make it worth the upgrade?

The OP's question was in regards to flying in the wind. Where are the examples of this unstabilized? There is a ton of footage of great video in calm conditions out there now.

i have owned Reds for several years now and to say Alexa is higher resolution at 4:4:4 than Epic tells me you don't really understand how either camera works and so are spreading misinformation. Both are great cameras but go about making images by way of very different paths. Red shoots for...

We have been flying the Movi for several weeks now without a single issue with our Red Epic. It is fast and stupid simple to adjust; literally a 5 year old can do it once its balanced. Rebalancing for different lens, filter, etc. takes less than a minute. The holding power is more than adequate...

Based on their demo reel.

My only point is that this stuff is evolving at warp speed and a smart business person must look closely at the ROE for an investment that will be outdated in a matter of months. I have rigs that perform better than this one at lower capital invested.

As someone who does aerials for a living, I can tell you that more often than not, my day rate is always a bone of contention. This applies to both independent films as well as larger budget productions. I have gotten calls from major studios that didn't want to pay Flying Cams day rate for a...
