Definitely stunning. I love this development of (relatively) cheap copter shots. Just using an RC drone instead of a full size helicopter. Briljant. Too bad these things don't carry proper camera's yet. At 1:26 you can clearly see some really bad rolling shutter effects (the mountain looks like a wobbly jelly pudding).
Is RED enough real camera?

the camera doesnt seem that bad, the problem i think is the stabilization, probably done with FCP smoothcam.
ah the quad chopper. Would be a fun project to make one of these. BTS fstoppers original one day? Great footage, these things are tricky to fly sometimes.
That was incredible. I definitely have got to get one of those some day. Looks like a ton of fun to use.
Very cool. Scary slip at 1:40 in.
Wow! Amazing footage. I can't believe anyone has the guts to climb that mountain. Crazy! Beautiful view though.
