Hi,
I guess that the original poster is a bit sarcastic. On the other hand there is something called evolution and new technologies arise and we
may need to adopt them. This was pretty much case with digital photography which caused a disruptive change. Now, we have new technology, making things possible that were far less possible before.
I have been very much impressed by a short video recorded in the Dolomites by Jona Salcher:
https://youtu.be/Abj7NPcaBU8It was filmed by a DJI Phantom 3, in 4K I think. Interestingly, DJI has made a significant investment in Hasselblad a couple of months ago. I guess that investment signals some interest in development of medium format systems for drones.
Now, I don't think I am going into drones. But, it is very clear that drones do extend our options with regard to photography. Also, drones are ridiculously cheap compared helicopter flights.
Best regards
Erik

If you love aerial photography then obviously a rig made for standard photography is not gonna satisfy you. Cameras are tools to help you achieve what you want. Get the right tool for that.
It is what it is.
Aerial Photography is another world and there are lots of awesome tools available today for it. I have shot from a Heli quite a few times and love the freedom it provides specially when one can direct the pilot to exactly the spot one wants.
