Boat pix?

[Hamburger No 1]

What is y'all's opinion about the boat pix helicopter? We're thinking about getting it for one of the GB Races, maybe J/Fest? I know there are lots of opinions about this, so let me have it. Mine is that the guys are filthy expensive and hard to work with. But some of the best pictures of my boat - the ones on the wall - have come from that contraption. What do you think?

Yeah, filthy expensive and nasty to work with.  Requiring a credit card before you get to look at the watermarked proofs is not my cup of tea.

There was a local chopper that took pictures for one of the HMR's.  I bought a pic from them that hangs on my wall.  It was definitely as good as Boat Pix.
