HD Video from a RC Helicopter!

Aerial video with a Canon 5D , 7D helivideo.com from Eric AUSTIN on Vimeo.

I’ve always wanted an excuse like this to get the ultimate toy for myself – a RC helicopter! I imagined it would be cool if it could fly my Canon G9 overhead and take some groovy aerial video and photos. Well, this guy went for it and mount an awesome Canon 5D with it’s ability to shoot gorgeous 1080p HD video.

Like he says in the video, crashing is NOT an option!
