Digital Sputnik is launching a drone mountable DS LED Heli System at NAB 2014. In a co-operation with Intuitive Aerial, using their Black Armored Drone, the DS LED System offers unparalleled output and flexibility in aerial lighting. This is the first time a small drone is able to carry a lightweight light output equivalent of 1.5kW HMI. This breakthrough creates a new world of possibilities in creative, mobile and flexible lighting for film and television. The system is controllable over WiFi using an iOS app.

Its interesting to see all the ways people are starting to Use MR's. I'd like to know what the lights are, where to get them and how much they are?

They're on my list of stops at NAB, so I'll let you know whatever I can find out.

completely off topic, but why is it that so many of these folks trying to sell widgets to high end video markets can't seem to use anything other than far-away camera mikes for their audio?

Because very few of these small developers have marketing departments or actually do any high end production themselves.

When widgets costs tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars you got sexy marketing and not necessarily products that worked any better than the widgets developed by small companies who often sell similar widgets for a lot less but can't afford expensive marketing.

Chris, did you make it by their booth? What do you think?
