2015 Year of the drones, 2016 Year of the...

I think they are cool, but the angle is too low...when would you really use it and how much? Definitely wouldn't be used as much as drones which can be pretty much used for everything and make it all look impressive from the air. I think the RC cars can be useful if they had a pole extending 4-6 feet in the air with a camera on top so the view would at least be eye level with humans and you could use it like a steadicam/gimbal where possible.
 
Interesting. I could see those being used instead of sliders/steadicams/gimbals in some situations. I think 2016 will continue to be the year of the drone as more and more people buy them. The ongoing legislation/regulation/registration saga could impact it though. It's nice to have all these tools available. Back when I got into this, access to these kinds of shots were but a dream

Agreed! Commercial solutions are going to revolutionize how we watch films and interact with games. I've read that films watched with the Oculus have better 3d immersive feeling, less eye strain and less headaches. I have the feeling the only missing bit for films on VR is going to be FPS to help the eye even more. I can't wait!
 
Drones are not yet done. I have a 3DR Solo and got some nice footage for my current project. However, I believe it is just the start of the drone tech evolution and there is much more to come.
