I do fancy one of these drones as it really does change the image perspective but at £700+ it really is a not frequently used toy.

Something that can carry a D810 needs to be pretty reliable.

Not only that but using them in built up areas is a no-no, one would have been very useful to check the roofs of many large buildings I have worked on to find where to put scaffolding.

When in Pembroke a few months back I saw CADW using a drone to check out the roof of a castle and turrets. Chatting to the guy and he said it saved them thousands over using scaffolding for maintenance checks.
