There are a multitude of drones out there, everything from ones that sit in the palm of your hand to eight-armed-octopus-like drones that can lift heavy camera systems like the Red. Honestly, I would have to be pretty sure of something that is carrying a Red with its $19,000 price tag for the body alone.
