I just wanted to let everyone know about a killer deal that the Coptershop.com is currently running. The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ is now just $1099 and you can add an extra battery for just $70 and a Fearless Backpack for just $99. If you are thinking of getting into aerial filmmaking this is the package I would recommend unless you have some money to burn and want to step up to the Inspiration. Remember to use the code "EDCOPTERS" for a discount. If you are in the Puget Sound I can't recommend these guys highly enough. I had an issue with my copter the other day and 10 minutes after my visit to the shop I was back up and running at NO charge!
I love the term "Cinedrones" but with the negative connotation that drones now have would like to tweak this into "Cinecopters" to combine the idea of cinema and aerial filmmaking. Reguardless, this show reel of films featured in the New York City Drone Film Festival.
I just got back from NCCE where I met a group of enthusiastic educators that are working on the same thing. Bringing aerial photography/videography to their students. Join our group by competing this "Registration form." I met a middle school teacher, Randy Cash, now has a "fleet" of quad copters for training and filming. His students are so excited they are the ones bringing him articles and research on the topic! Glenn Whitcomb, a long time pilot and Academy of Model Aeronautics suggested that membership in this organization can provide millions in liability insurance. Here is the short video of the convention center I made on the morning of the conference. |
