It’s not the cost of a drone camera that’s the challenge. It’s the training, licensing and FAA requirements that are the obstacles keeping drones from being standard equipment in every videographer’s kit. But the day those disappear is not far off.

I’m sure there are news stories where a view from a done wouldn’t add that much to the storytelling, but not many.
Just a drone shot of me walking down the street would be more majestic than a ground level angle.
WREX.com – Rockford’s News Leader
In Rockford, Ill., WREX, Quincy Media’s NBC affiliate, is the first station in the market to debut a drone, which it’s calling REX-1.
“This new drone technology will allow us to provide our viewers with unique news content they simply cannot get anywhere else in Rockford,” said Josh Morgan, WREX’s news director.
REX-1 will have a dedicated page on WREX.com, where viewers can take a look at video shot using the new device.
The drone is piloted by an on-staff FAA-certified drone pilot and the station has plans to build a fleet of pilots and drones in the future.
