People Get Ready 3D is Here Pix4D

I have been watching these folks for a couple of years.  Like what you would expect from Swiss-Propeller-Heads (SPH) is nothing less than humbling.  Their kit last time I checked was $10k aprox. for the SensFly.  You have to stick to certain radio control frequencies and power limitations for the real-time corrections.  I could not discover the price of their 3D stiching solution described below. device.
