Cool link...thanks.
The company doing the inspections is called CYBERHAWK: http://www.google.com/search?output...&q=cyberhawk+inspection&btnG=&oq=&gs_l=&pbx=1
If I am not wrong, they use one of these birds: http://www.asctec.de/uav-applications/aerial-imaging/asctec-falcon-8/asctec-falcon-8/
It's pretty interesting how quietly whole new industries evolve (or existing ones change) by the use of multirotors......wondering if they would ever use the "professional" products from DJI :tennis:

For 17,000 Euro I wonder what they use for a controller?

There was another thread on this a short time ago initiated by someone from New Zealand..... He had lost his MR from flying too close the powerlines while doing aerial video/photo inspections of wooded crossbars.... EMI and/or RFI seemed to be the culprit when using 2.4 Ghz fhss within 2 meters of the powerlines. seems that 433 Mhz systems could be more immuned to powerline emi/rfi issues but......who knows for sure......

Right then.

The short magic wand is used to safely release electrostatic discharge created by the Helicopter rotor..... which acts like a giant vandegraaf generator..... just enough static to make a worker lose his grip or foothold and fall etc. or even worse.... A real Heli plus pilot and one skilled worker likely costs in the order of $2800 per hour or so I have been told....

Jello? I had a second look... don't really see any jello. There's a bit of shake in a few places though. The only place I saw Jello was what appears to be a zoomed in shot of the flare. But considering they are using zoom... doesn't seem so bad? Am I missing anywhere else?

Cris is not about the product, it is about what you can do 
It is the same as our precable line pulling for the power lines.
It is totaly safe vith DJI MK and rest off them. Assembly and the rest is what it is important and know how and how to operate safely. BUt you alredy know the 99% propably.

Just imagine the cost of having a helicopter do the same job.

My guess is DJI is a toy compared to the controller in that baby.
