I think this is supposed to be one of those film yourself type platforms and not so much a full blown FPV platform.Neat idea but I don't know of many places that's going to be cool with anyone pulling along a drone on a tether. If you're outside the number and kinds of shots far exceed this with a normal drone.
I get it. It's nothing but a film yourself platform. That's the whole reason I don't see much use for it. It's restricted to being tethered to you and from the demo video it works good if you're just standing there or walking around. I can't think of many if any places I'd be simply walking around that I'd want myself being videoed that would also have the headroom to fly a tethered quad.
In addition action shots / sports seems to be completely out of question with this platform. It's a neat idea but I personally don't see much practical use.
I think you should get one and then hit the BMX track with it and let us know how well it goes. The guy riding the bike was on a beach without even as much as a hill insight and the people walking down the snow hill seemed to be moving faster then the snowboarder and sledders both.I'm not sure why you say it wouldnt be good for action shots though. They show a guy snowboarding and riding a bicycle in the video while using one.

Again, neat device I guess but not one I personally see very practical. $350 for a tethered selfie stick (camera NOT included), or about half the price as a blade 350 with a HD camera and not limited by the length of your string. To each their own though.
Really by the time you add the price of a Go-Pro you're going to be darn near at the price of a QX350 or over depending on which Go-Pro you get.
I hope you change your mind about that statment as I love these types of posts, just don't take it personal if not everyone thinks the platform is a perfect idea. Clearly others don't agree with me as you can see on their fundraising page that plenty of people have ordered. Again, I PERSONALLY don't see much value in this particular platform.At any rate I wont post anymore of these types of platforms. No one seems to think much of them anyway regardless of whether they are tethered or not.
