I haven't seen the units yet, but the ones the rep is bringing have imprints about 35 inches square. I only go this route because most of the aerial photography I do is a small part of a bigger project...no photography for photography's sake. Now, for 3 minutes worth of content, I pay about $5000.00 for the helicopter, pilot, etc.

Competition is billing about $2,000.00. I could contract with a service, but that wouldn't let me control the angles, etc.

And I am well aware of the mass of regulations involved. I have had to deal with flight plans, permission, etc. for years.

Actually, this purchase will reduce costs considerably. It's just another technological upgrade.


I will miss the time flying with the old pilot, a retired traffic copter dude, with more tales to tell than me (believe that!).
