My 3dr iris quadcopter doesn't like to be flown indoors. The phantom 2 is easier to fly than the 3d robotics controller

I wouldn't trust my quadrotor over a crowd of people, especially indoors!

But anyways, nice video. You should add a gimbal to smooth that out, they work really nicely
You should be able to fly fine without GPS... the only thing GPS adds is position lock. I rarely fly with GPS only when I need to stay in one spot for video...

There are safety issues with doing this. (flying indoors)... big safety issues. But that's up to the staff.

*EDIT: What's wrong with a camera on a stick/ladder?
