Oh I didn't mean to be dismissive, I am extremely impressed with the possibilities said eye in the sky can provide, I guess I meant that it's more useful than a hobby photography tool. I of course think that is really rad too since it's what I do with my drone now. But the commercial side of the industry is getting really exciting with exactly the kind of tools you're talking about, some of which are just new ways of applying the camera like you're pointing out.

Ag spraying, high definition cinematography, industrial inspections, affordable localized LIDAR scanning, even underground mine surveys are all super interesting to me.
