I am curious if anybody else is starting to get the feeling that there are getting to be so many people getting into this hobby that it just doesn't have the cool or wow factor it once did. I mean it is still cool but......... I started way back with Helis. Putting cameras on them. Back when they didn't come prepackaged for video or ease of flight. You had to make your own rigs.
Just go on Youtube, forums, and the news. Every day, more and more videos are being posted. Some are pretty cool but I feel we will become desensitized to the neat factor of seeing videos from the sky. At one time it was like wow but now its getting more like, seen it. There will always be videos that stand out because they happen to catch something interesting or somebody comes up with something clever, but as far as your run of the mill aerial shots, not so much as everybody is doing it.
Ultimately they will become more of a tool I think. Also they will be used as a competition to who can get the most extreme shot which usually entails doing things illegal or things that should be illegal. Just look at the idiot that was bouncing his Phantom off of the windows of skyscrapers in New York.
If you don't think it has become oversaturated yet, just wait, I believe it wont be long at all.
