Default UAV video platform - soaring video potential?

An example of what the cool kids are doing when they don't have time or money to soar...

Hazards managed, this rig would make some great soaring videos. I'd love to see a winch launch from above (and off to the side).

Cost of the rig used to make the video:
Phantom 2 + H3-3D Gimbal ($995) AVL58 FPV Kit with Zeiss Goggles ($1150) iOSD Mini (On Screen Display) ($69)
