I can totally relate to the academic preaching what they see as the gospel when they've actually got no experience to speak of. There are loads of Uni nerds that put themselves forward as the vanguards of art and what is the 'Professional' way to do things and what is not, fucking bollocks talkers. Do your own thing and stay away from the negative 'would be elite' that want to promote the idea that they're more knowledgeable, more skillful and more worthy than you when their real agenda is simply to elevate and promote their individual status; and install themselves as some kind of judge and jury for people that are actually doing rather than just sitting back and observing. It's easier to sit back rather than risk actually put yourself out there.

Inaccurate out of date useless. Uk frame rate known as PAL is 25fps, not 24fps. 24fps is the standard movie frame rate, that's why people use 24fps not because of where they might happen to live in the world. Nothing about flat picture profiles sharpening etc... Come on.

What I took from this is, if you don't have access to someone to champion your film from the inside, you're throwing away your money. So now we need an article that tells us how to accomplish that little trick. It comes as no surprise really. The entertainment business has always been an old boyz club and the little man has never had any real chance. There are the exceptions that get through but in reality, they are the few not the many. The UK is the worst for this, there's a reason most of our big stars talk with a plum in their mouth.

Sorry, but comparing one item to another based on the other items price doesn't automatically make it 'affordable'. I'd say affordable was more appropriate when used in relation to the 'amount' of people that consider the item reasonable. Having said that as even the cheaper stuff is way over priced simply because it's 'film production gear' and manufacturers know we're a bunch of mugs that will just pay their price no matter what, nothing in the film production world is 'affordable'. You can pay hundreds of £'s for a camera cage, HELLO! Oh wait it's the engineering, HAHA. You just keep telling yourself that.

The guy selling them wasn't most enthusiastic salesman I've ever seen.

It's pretty impressive. I can't wait for this to be improved upon. At the moment for me personaly we're seeing to much of the drone itself in the footage. But I reckon that could be sorted with a camera arm of some sort that when in flight lowers to clear the drone propellers. I'm no engineer but someone will think of something before to long when the full potential of this drone is realized.
