20 minutes is more than enough time in the film world, you can cram a hell of a lot of awkward camera shots into that time that can save the need for cranes, buggys, CAMERA OPERATORS, etc. 
A very high speed camera will give you a fraction of that filming time for instance
Gadgets like this will put a few noses out of joint at my work, it's an impressive albeit random bit of fiming kit.
We're being taken over by robots. 
Some good points there, I hadn't considered it's usage in that sort of industry
I guess the underlying drone tech is useful but I would expect a much higher quality camera / lens to be used for large production films so it's back to the camera cranes 
For the amateur video enthusiast it's an impressive piece of kit, no doubt... I wonder how fast it can fly... just thinking about the crazy people in squirrel suits
We use Codex cameras, GoPro, Canon 5D's, they're all still genuine HD quality so are more than capable of taking decent images even if just for a few seconds to slip into a commercial or TV or film.
These days most of those shots would need a drone operator, but otherwise you'd be talking about a helicopter aerial unit to get the shots.
The money and time saved would be phenomenal, and as you say it's also perfect for an amateur, firstly because of its versatility, but secondly because it's very affordable.
Top speed is 25mph.
