Scenes shot with an RC helicopter and consumer HD camera. Pretty amazing results. 

Probably best to right-click/save. I think this guy's server is getting hammered.

Some info from the thread on RideMonkey:
 

The ideal setup is two people. One to fly the helicopter and one to man the camera. The camera is mounted on two servos, one pan and one tilt. Using a remote control LANC connection, you can also zoom. He's been practicing with this thing for about two years and has gotten pretty good at just leaving the camera stationary and just framing by himself with the helicopter. He initially wanted this thing to shoot skiing but I think he's finally figured out how much better suited it is to shoot bikes

Insight into this brief clip:

A bulk of the heli footage, all but two clips, was shot last year when I kinda sucked at flying, and had a ****ty HV10 on the heli. I've since improved and refined the heli with a better autopilot, mount, etc.

Like Kidwoo said, the ideal scenario is to have a camera operator running the gimbal (180 pan/100 tilt) via remote downlink screen. That way, you can do more three dimensional flight and more interesting camera angles. Like crossing a single track, rising up, then continually tracking the subject. ALL the footage in this vid was shot guessing, with no camera operator. I don't have a camera operator because I don't have a budget. I'm just doing this for fun, for some stupid reason.

RC Heli's are largely used for profit in the realestate and commercial realestate industry, but that's about as boring as it gets. I'd rather shoot low pay/no pay stuff and have more fun.

My heli is kinda unique. Others are doing this, but they aren't portable. I can ride with everything needed on my back. A ten pound heli, 6 batteries, two radios, and a camera, down most moderate singletrack, or up it. Other heli operations can't do this because their heli's are too damn big.

We can kick full size heli's too. As they are too expensive, can't fly super close to riders, are obtrusive, and can't fly through a wooded forest. We can also set up quicker than a cable cam, but can't get as smooth of footage as a cablecam. But cablecam's are 2 dimensional. We fly 3 dimensional.

RC heli footage is cool, but it's still supplementary, and really should only comprise about 20% of the total footage, in my opinion.

Awesome little vid.  The footage that you could capture from angles that would otherwise be unattainable would be pretty cool....the possibilities...

Wonder how much that set-up costs??
