High tech 'Peeping Tom.' There are rifles that cost less that'll still be functional after they shoot it down.  ;)

The TV station I work for just purchased one for some of our upcoming shoots. I'm amazed at the quality and stability of the video from the drone, it's just incredible. And it's so tiny too.

Here's some promo footage from a recent car show we televised where the drone was used.

I have the Phantom 2 with the gimbal mount for a GoPro. The gimbal is amazing in its ability to keep the camera stable.

Looking forward to getting it out on the sailboat for aerials of whales, etc.

Not quite the playboy mansion....

Today as I drove down to the boat I pulled off the road a bit to shoot some video and pics over some old beaver ponds.  After finishing up the photography I was taking a leak when a grizzly stood up about 15' in front of me.  I started talking gently to it, the bear WOOFed and did a little false charge toward me while popping it's teeth.  Oh poowonga!!  I fired a shot from my .45 in front of it and kept moving toward my truck, the bear stopped and moved off to the side.

I really thought for a moment I was gonna be bear scat!! :O

I'm seriously thinking of buying The Phantom 2 Vision + or the Phantom 2 with the gimbal and go pro.  I Need to be able to make a video, add audio (music or commentary), and add custom graphics to the video.  I'm wondering what computer program I need to edit the footage? and how easy this task is?

Also, does anyone have any advice on flight range, control issues, and if going with the go pro setup is far better than DJI camera on the Phantom 2 vision+?

Any advice would be appreciated.  I know, I know I'm a amateur dweeb full of excitement, lacking experience, and heading strait for a expensive failure. But heck, you only live once right.

p.s. I noticed in the videos posted in this thread that, what i believe is DJIs camera, does not match the quality of the go pro.

Thanks,

Theres an awful lot of programs you can use to edit the footage. To many to mention. Nor is it that hard, you just have to apply yourself. Get in the mindset that any video is a story and the editing time line on the screen allows you to lay out the scenes of your story. The hard part isnt so much the technical as is the creative.

The important feature of this camera are the manual controls. Auto controls just aren't good enough or fast enough and being able to set manually your white balance, focus, iris, shutter, audio levels, are all very important. Videomaker magazine used to be a good source for the basics of videomaking. But Ive been out of it for about 7 years. Im astounded by the ease and quality of this unit. Its something we videomakers used to dream of decades ago.

I got out when everyone started insisting on HD. I have a full time job already and didnt want to make the monetary investment in new cams and editing system. I still have two Canon XL2s laying around.
