A) if you're going to spunk 15k on professional kit, you'll do it on well known platforms (s800 etc), where the risks and flaws are known and can be mitigated.
B) it's unlikely any professional grade footage will remain private anyway. Competitive advantage and all that.
but this one is a whole lot cheaper

Nice job!!! And based on what I see the government pay for less, the price is good value!
I think that if someone have 15k the best option would be to get a big electric heli and buy one of those fuel cells.
Now that is truly something I would rather not see hovering over my head.
There's a few, but here's one for example:

I'm not recommending it, but it's one example.
R_Lefebvre would you mind linking me to the 900 turbine heli you were talking about?
Euan: agreed 100%. I did a small run of Octocopters, and I priced the kits at about 150% what I figured the BOM was. End of the day, I lost money, and got nothing out of all the time I put into it.
