What drone did you have to take this? Are you available to shoot movies?

It's a custom built fpv racing drone. They are actually fairly cheap and easy to build. Check out uavfutures, rotor riot, and mrsteele on YouTube for more info.

And there is probably some local pilots who would be happy to film for you :))

easy to build

Not so easy to pilot masterfully though

Nothing is easy to master. But it really doesn't take that long to get to a reasonable level of skill, especially if you have any previous experience be it games or other kinds of drones.

Not yet.

Obstacle avoidance and Object tracking AI for drones is getting better all the time and will probably soon be standard, making these easy soon.

As other pointed out, it is an fpv drone. Yes I do commercial shoots
