The problem with the go pro in a drone is that you lose either 1) the durability/waterproofness of a go pro case (the key selling point for me), or 2) the ability to live view through it reliably. If go pro had an interface to use their normal go-pro mounts on a drone, but had a special case with a control port passthrough, they'd be in good shape. It is attractive to know that if I crash my drone, at least the camera won't die. This looks like it gets neither good range/quality or durability, unless the camera is one of the "spare parts" that their site so glibly advertises. Having flown DJI phantom 3s, and some custom drones to lift Canon 5D3s, I can tell you that the biggest source of nervousness in flying for me is recovering the camera. With a DJI, I am willing to take closer, riskier shots that often end up better. With the 5d3 and now 5DSr, I can get MUCH better shots, but it is risky. I suppose I would feel different if it were professional and I had full coverage insurance.
