Ogle Amazing Aerial Video Shot From RC Helicopter [Video]

Matt Haughey:

What happens when you strap a $1700 digital SLR camera doing full HD video to a $2k remote controlled helicopter? You get amazing freaking video.

Another example of what you can do with a few grand worth of equipment that would cost tens of thousands of dollars to do with a real helicopter (not to mention, would also be super dangerous)

    it’s God’s Little Toy in real life!

    (ok, yeah, it’s a helicopter and not a blimp, but how can I not geek out over the idea of something out of All Tomorrow’s Parties made real?)

    For the less brave, you could use a smaller lighter cheaper camcorder. But I don’t think you can get a cheap helicopter that would carry it. Awesome way to get video. This would be awesome for stuff like outdoor weddings, real estate agents, etc. You could make a business out of this.

    the good thing about brushless motors is that they last longer compared to brushed ones.~:
