This really doesn't seem impressive. Why the heck do they even make the copter fly around with a WHOLE GODDAMN LAPTOP, this is about as wasteful as you can possibly get…

Something better which I've already seen is a gimbal[1] (which you can build for <100€) with one or two (for 3D) gopro cams. Weighs less and is way more awesome.

Addendum:

This is the sort of steadiness you get with a gimbal btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmSFZydbVnc
