SDSU Aerial Video
Using a DJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus on the campus of San Diego State University. This quadcopter helicopter uses GPS to make operating it very easy. They call this "Your flying Camera". It takes great HD video as well as still photos. Plus, you can change the angle of the camera in flight, as well as go from video to stills.
You can use an I-phone or I-pod to see what the camera is filming and to set up the perfect shot.
In the GPS mode it will hover in one position without any operator input. Also if the control signal is lost it can automatically return to it's take-off position & land itself!
This is used not only for action sports but in real estate marketing by providing a great aerial viewpoint for larger properties and to off the views and location not only on the property lot, but, within the community itself.
*NOTE -- This video has been edited and therefor you will notice a gap(s) in both the video/audio tracks. A major real estate brokerage firm just came out with an opinion that real estate agent should hold off using aerial drone footage in marketing their properties until the FAA issues final regulations on drone usage. These new regulations are supposed to be out in about a year. Meanwhile, aerial drone photography for personal or hobby use is okay. Supposedly the FAA issuing these rules to promote safety. But, why is there no regulation for personal use? Is personal use of aerial drones somehow safer than commercial use?
The vast majority of aerial drones that have been used way under 5 pounds and four real estate videos would rarely ever get above 100 feet or so. Yet, until I retired from hang gliding a couple years ago, when I was strapped into the glider and had all my gear on, I would have to say the total weight was about 360 pounds. And yet the FAA does not regulate hang gliding!
So, in the interest of not wanting to get involved in any type of government litigation I have edited this video. I hope that the new regulations will make some common sense and not just be a way for government to raise money or tax individuals for using these models.
