The concept itself is way cooler than the actual film, but it is definitely still worth watching.

Top Gear UK uses them a lot now also
Wait til the local news uses them to snoop on a crime in progress.
Why would I not be surprised if it were deemed a crime for some idiotic reason is say, it were done instead Joe Citizen? Criminals sue for invasion of privacy or some crap. /semi sarcasmWait til the local news uses them to snoop on a crime in progress.
When I was growing up, an aircraft that you controlled from the ground using a transmitter was just a RCA. We started putting cameras on them and they were still RCAs. Didn't matter if it was fixed wing or helicopter.
Then quadcopters came out, and even though they aren't controlled autonomously whatsoever for the most part, the era of "drones" was created... everything is a drone.
Definitely far more cost effective, but I'm sure this video used a crapton of editing to get the video so stabilized, which isn't really an option for a live feed.If they had a longer range they could use the for traffic reporting.
Why do people have such shitty taste in music?
Synthetic bass beat + fax machine played back at 50% speed = dubstep.Why do people have such shitty taste in music?
Ah now it all makes sense. Recently I was wondering if they really used helicopters for so many scenes.

They probably used a frame blending tool for some of those scenes to make it look really smooth too.Not really. The behind the scenes showed they are actually jiggled the camera to hide the transitions.
Definitely the future though, and I wouldn't want to be a helicopter pilot in training.
Problem is, the newer models come with GPS/autopilot and advertised as being incredibly easy to fly since the computer does all the piloting. But there's also been an increase of crashes and flyaways (flyaway = autopilot software crashes and the multirotor flies off to china). RC pilot that puts a camera on his model = Fun! Photographer that buys a helicopter to put his camera on = Disaster!
