ProDrone has announced the introduction of their new Ultimate Flying Platform line with a static mount capable of lifting and integrating with several of the world’s most popular DSLR cameras. This marks the first time a consumer drone had been able to integrate with heavier DSLR cameras, increasing the ease and value of producing super high quality aerial photography.
The ProDrone BYRD best known for its unique ability to fold up to the size of an iPad for hyper portability, has now added another unique ability by introducing a static mount for DSLRs. The new mount is integrated with several Sony cameras (DSC-RX100M4, ILCE6000, a7RII) and the RICOH GR2.
The system is also available with limited operations for the Panasonic GH4, Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera BMD and the Canon 5DII. Full integration will be available for all these cameras by Q2 2016.

* Mounts available for all levels of BYRD
