“Let’s be real though—this is very much a professional-level piece of gear that is currently priced at $15,000, with a $7500 option coming in the near future. That is to say, out of the price-range of most individuals and small businesses.”

This particular piece of equipment possibly. However gyro stabilized camera platforms for hobby aircraft (quad copter and fixed wing) are pretty inexpensive. Hundreds, not thousands of dollars.

Gee. This is gonna really frack up the cheap SCIFY ghost, goblin and monster/alien movies whose stock-in-trade is crazy camera shaken-baby syndrome to obscure the cheap-ass special effects until the last scene “money shot” where they put all their CGI efforts.

More importantly, can you attach a weapon to it?

Now if they could only get the cinematographers to actually use it instead of subjecting us the the “shaky camera” scenes that are so prevalent now.

I remember seeing camera footage from a shell shot out of a 16 inch naval cannon decades ago. The shell of course is spinning from the rifling.

I saw Vince LaForet’s video on that yesterday - what a great invention. It WILL change things in the video world!

Too expensive for my use, but for a professional, this will be a great new tool!

It's eliminated pitch, yaw and roll, but there is still x,y, and z axis movement, which appears to be damped.

Pretty amazing.

Now what are these amazing camera shots that they're talking about? Camera movement through a crowd?

If they can get the price below $500, this will revolutionize youtube cat videos.
