Expensive but I bet you would be in-demand with a rig like that. It also looks like they are marketing this to police and fire departments.

The variable movie mode, so you can get 1080p30 from the GH2 with the 24Mbs encoding engine
These clips give me so much gear envy, but I gotta develop my standard cinematography skills first

That's very true, it could be a very good investment.

Where are the best forums to learn more about multicopters.

Seriously thinking about this rig. Its basic, but looks like it will work with a GF1. I would be pushing the payload to the max.
I think that might not make work so smooth.
The basic quadcopter kit goes for $400, the camera mount is $75. I am sure there is a lot more to buy but that gives you an idea on price.

I'm an engineer and I know a little about RC crafts. $19K is over the top. An experienced model maker could put together a Heli for around $2k to hold a GH with servo controls to pan and tilt. You won't have the base station with live video view but you could get some excellent video even without it.

I have spent the last 2 days researching this and there is a very active open source/ DIY community devoted to this stuff. Yeah 19k is way over the top, I think they are going after that home land security money. This stuff makes police departments excited.
Here is the ultimate link post on all of this stuff.
Only $325 on ebay, GAUI 330X Quad-Flyer

This is awesome for wedding shots.
Kinda like 'Save the day' theme where you shoot
few days before the wedding in a great location.
This kind of location with the quadflyer will be
so much awesome.

awesome stuff.. That's great for the price.... We had about 8K invested in our rig....
Here's some of our footage:

I don't think it would be safe or practical to have 4 sets of blades rotating at 40,000rpm in a crowd of people at a wedding. The noise and law suit if you were to slam into a persons face! oh boy! I think a Blimp would be far safer yet the noise is an issue.

They make you look like you live in the 90's version of the future. But are useful tools. This is a store that sells them.

Killer video, thanks for sharing.
What flight controller are you using? I am thinking about a Flight Controller ME 2.1 any downsides to the MikroKopter platform. I am heavily into electronic DIY so soldering and programing chips via ISP dose not scare me. Am I going to have to learn german to get into this?

Bikinis and Hexacopter. Nice.
Is it just me or does this video seem to have considerably more jello than the others?
