"Just had another tought, maybe the max. TOW of cameradrones that wanna commercially fly over inhabited areas should be limited by law. Lets say to 3KG including a parachute in chase of motorfail no matter if quad, hex, octo... That way at least the…"
"Funny you mention lightfield-cameras. They might really revolutionize the way pictures are recorded. The possibility to "film" rayclouds with every optical information is appealing as hell. The bokeh is simply rendered in post and your footage will…"
"Btw, I mainly fly with Gopros. This way I don't have to call the nearest tower when I want to film somewhere. With a copter above 5kG, you have to announce your takeoffs and landings via telephone at the nearest airport. (at least in Germany) I just…"
"What all smartphone- and actioncameras with their wideangle-lenses miss, is some eye-candy in form of bokeh - or shallow depth of field. So, to achieve at least a bit of that filmlook everybody wants, you need some good glass in front of your sensor…"
Howdy, just some thoughts..Costs for camera drones rise exponentially with its size, so does the risk if something goes wrong. While you only loose your equipment when crashing e.g. in Islands deserted wilderness, you risk much more when crashing…

"You can buy the filters from Snake River Prototyping - Blurfix Air - but they are quite expensive. I just ordered a set of 30,5mm Hoya Filters - i removed the filterglas from the original mount and created a superlightweight mount for the GoPro. It…"
"It`s just clever not to fly directly next to roads.. In case anything goes wrong with your copter - you most likely wont crash into traffic. How hard can it be, walk 500foot?"
"Hi :) Is there any estimation when the SF10/C will be back in stock again?"
