While the footage is fairly standard by GoPro standards, the stabilization system that they\u2019re showcasing is anything but.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The first thing you\u2019ll notice about GoPro\u2019s promotional video is just how freaking smooth the video is. Footage this consistent is extremely rare, even in conventional film, to say nothing of aerial production. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>GoPro takes great pains to remind you that absolutely nothing was edited\u2014or, more specifically, stabilized\u2014in post-production, adding that the footage came from a \u201cdevelopmental prototype.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"853\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JADCZuSOQRU?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Watch out &#8211; they&#8217;re just getting started<\/h2>\n<p>If this drone is the rough draft, the final edition is almost certainly going to blow our minds.<\/p>\n<p>There has been some speculation regarding the recording equipment itself in the video. It seems reasonable to expect a drone-dedicated camera on GoPro\u2019s quadcopter, but we may simply be looking at footage from a Hero4 at this time\u2014though the video was shot in 1440p, it\u2019s unlikely that this ambitious company would shy away from 4k definition in the finished product. <\/p>\n<p>The secret behind the stabilizing agent remains a mystery, naturally, though GoPro wouldn\u2019t be the first drone this year to play with the concept of a gimbal rig.<\/p>\n<h2>It&#8217;s not going to be cheap, though<\/h2>\n<p>If the $15,000 GoPro Odyssey is any indication of their benchmark, this drone is not going to be cheap. Sure, GoPro specializes in record-breaking quality and an outstanding business model, but the fact remains that drones are expensive to create, build, and distribute\u2014and, by virtue of their dependability, GoPro can easily charge top dollar. <\/p>\n<p>Realistically speaking, members of the informal market\u2014casual drone users, amateur film creators, etc.\u2014are probably not going to be able to afford GoPro\u2019s quadcopter for a long time.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><i class=\"icon-bookmark\"><\/i> <strong>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/therealdaily.com\/real-estate-marketing\/the-uber-of-drones-helps-agents-hire-drone-pilots-adds-transparency-to-the-process\/\">The Uber of drones helps you hire drone pilots, adds transparency to the process<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/the-real-daily-news.png\" alt=\"bar\" width=\"100\" height=\"19\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-91813\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Successful agents and brokers will have one<\/h2>\n<p>Realtors and commercial pilots, on the other hand, should be keeping an eye on GoPro\u2019s development.
