Yes a R44 R66? with lighter HD system with 100x would be benificial for news gathering, just need to work on changing the single engine rule to complete the grand slam.
Lower costs would also encourage more aerial news operators in the UK?
Raises the question of controlling traffic in the future, how many news helis can be accomidated over say a whale type event in London? Longer lenses would help with the spacing?
