I saw on CNN a DJI Vision flying above the explosion in NYC today. Anyone know who it was? Video?

Did you notice the media people hurrying over to talk to the P2V operator?
It was more "news" to them than the explosion was.

Saw that and it looks like he was rushing to pack up and get out of the spotlight.

He was telling them what we all tell people

It's called a Phantom Vision
About $1200 bucks
Not for kids
No you cannot fly it
Look on youtube
You can see what the PV2 see on my phone
records 1080p or take a picture
25 min flight time.
&
Sure I will sell these exclusive pictures to you
:lol:

This is just more ammo for the FAA.

If done respectfully or shows a way to be helpful, then perhaps it's ammo for us.

I love the irony of the circling news helicopter taking shots of the circling Vision taking shots of the scene, and the commentators spending more time discussing the Vision than what happened...
