A inovação aparece em todo o lado. A Canon 5D Mark II deixou de ser apenas uma máquina fotográfica "full-frame" mas passou também a ser uma máquina de filmar profissional. Se agora a colocarmos sobre um "Drone" abrem-se um conjunto de novas possibilidades como se pode ver nos 2 vídeos

Canon 5D Mark II Aerial Drone - Autonomous GPS Position Hold from perspectiveAerials on Vimeo.

Filmmakers' dream tool from perspectiveAerials on Vimeo.

Following videos, which were great, are no longer in YouTube, but you get a good feeling about the device, from the two previous ones and from the one at Perspectiveaerials site

Os resultados são, sem dúvida, excelentes, na linha do que defende a Perpective aerials:

"Here we demonstrate the DSLR aerial camera platform's autonomous GPS position hold capability.

If you can imagine the ability to fly a professional DSLR camera such as the 5D Mark II over a natural disaster site, switch on GPS position hold which forces the aerial camera platform to fly autonomously and hold its exact position in the sky allowing a photo journalist to focus on capturing photos at a safe distance out of harms way. With the use of an 8 inch LCD and wireless video feed you have the ability to remotely "see through the lens" in real-time to compose shots as well as remotely control shutter release function.

A must have tool for any news photo agency!"
