There is so much potential for this to be cool for us taking some fun shots.

YES! That would be totally awesome.

However, the rubber band holding the GoPro in place is not too reassuring (see the Waterproof Gimbal Early Design photo)...

Gotta love the Emergency Flare System, they lite a flare and attached it to the top of a drone.  Now that is technology!  I wonder if they used duct tape?

Maybe it could be modified to carry a bomb that could be dropped on approaching sharks...
