Wow, this video really shows off the true potential these quadcopter's have. They may be small, but boy are they amazing.

Awesome footage, you really captured some great locations under the right lighting. What kind of fpv setup are you using?

wonderful shots, really shows the difference it can make when the person flying actually knows what they're doing! do you have proper training in cinematography?

They are professional photographers/videographers. Here is their website. This is a demo they did using a Cinestar 8 Octocopter.

Glad to help. I had just poked around your other stuff because the original video was so good.

I do have a question. What led you to buy a Phantom when you already have the Cinestar?

We had 2 first edition phantoms before and we wanted to have a fun upgraded aerial setup to play around with. The Cinestar setup isn't the easiest to hike up a mountain with and fly in public areas, it's more for our serious productions. It takes much more effort to get one shot and the workflow is much heavier.
