3DR + Sony + Autodesk = 3D mapping Solo

[User Name]

Just saw this, seems interesting. Would love to have a reasonably priced option for mapping landscapes in 3D. Not sure this will fit the bill as far as "reasonably priced" goes, but it's only a matter of time before this ability trickles down.

3D Robotics partners with Sony on a drone that can map the world in 3D

considering their sensor capability any venture between sony and 3DR could produce something nice
Sony has yet to enter the UAV camera market, they would be a welcome player

And it will only cost you 10 thousand US dollars to own it for 1 year. (Not kidding)

Can you just buy the Sony camera to replace the GoPro?

No. You have to buy the whole enterprise package. So that will cost $3k or $4K for the hardware, plus $499 a month with a minimum 1 year contract. Total cost for 1 year is close to $10,000.
