we have quad drones we use know in film all the time. I just finished a movie where we used a cheap one but we have a friend that makes one that can carry a fully rigged s35 digital camera. ARRI and Red for sure. Sony F's are a bit large probably.

What i'm seeing is problems coming with privacy issues, safety issues
and all that mumbojunbo. It will allow us to do more interesting shots
from locations never before done, but a cheap quadcopter will not do,
you will have to use more expensive radio controls and you will also
have to train long hours before you can master a quadcopter. But i'm
interested in those things, for video work mainly.
