I'm not sure of the price of the one discussed, but I have been helping a company with a similar product: www.rotomotion.com. Their low-end electric UAV version costs under $20K...but you'll also need a ground control station (laptop w extras), shipping case, 'camera payload rig', spare batteries, etc. I would expect a single UAV 'setup' to shoot movies with spare batteries, etc, to run closer to $35K. Of course, the better the camera...the higher the price, they can't reduce that. :-) I think adding a new RED SCARLET camera to it will be the killer combo. :-)
