Just thought I would share this, I have no connection to this fella or his operation. Enjoy

I think he is using one of the "drones" like ff member kipper has.

Tonight, Nova on PBS was about drones. From Jumbo Jet sized to the little Mini's.
I didn't get to see it though, because someone else had the remote. I'll have to hunt it down later in the week.

Great quality video, can't believe how steady the drone is. Like the camera was up on a tower.
Thanks for posting this!

I find it amazing as well how steady they are. No more helos needed to make movies!

Totaly fake video.

There was no 'cussen or fighting or women spitting through holes in their teeth and even no trees falling on cameras and idiots almost gettin' killed.

It will never make it on the Ax Men show.

Surprised me that the drone would be moved up through the high lines and flying through the trees being taken down.
Being the operator is on the ground, I would think it would be rather difficult to make a good flight decision under remote control.
Guess they have a monitor to show what the camera sees, but even then that drone was moving pretty quick up between the hi-lines.
Impressive, as well as is the removal of the trees in the right-of-way.
