Apparently $7,300 is what it takes to get a complete professional level aerial video system, including a 3 axis gyroscopic gimbal for a micro 5/3 camera (like the Panasonic GH2), auto pilot w/ GPS, and batteries.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they have a DSLR gimbal, although the description says the DJI S800 copter can lift 2.5kg or 5.5lbs (the gimbal is 1.3kg/2.8lbs). So, it should be able to lift, say a D7100 (1.69lbs) with an 18-55mm lens (0.58lbs) with 0.43lbs to spare. I would assume the gimbal would have to be a little bit larger.
This would explain why so many people were interested in the $1000 eye3 DSLR setup that popped up on Kickstarter last year, but turned out to be a sham.
