Thank you! It is South Africa. All clips were shot in a town called Somerset West. When I have the time I will definitely be changing the frame to get the props out of the picture.

I saw the seagulls out of the corner of my eye and adjusted as quickly as possible. The wind was gusting to 20 mph so I was lucky to get the shot at all.

Most of the jerkiness is from YouTube as you said. I am extremely happy with the nex 5n. Amazing little camera with a great lens. The av200 had its problems but with a 3 turn pot (instead of 10 turn) and larger gear on board made it more accurate.

This isn't a HFP, but if Hoverfly is looking for inspiration this might do the trick.

Not sure what to make of it other than it is freaking hilarious.

Prototype Quadrotor with Machine Gun! (5 min 12 sec)

I hope the Los Angeles Realty Association and LAPD don't see this. [Maybe they should...]

its CGI

Sorry for being off topic, but its still really funny.

cgi!!

funny but probably not too far off - us is spending over a $billion this year on just multirotors. no wonder i cant make mine fly right - im short about $999,999,998.

Has diane finestine seen this??....i think its bad PR for multi rotors....

Nope its not our stuff.....we don't have a computer fast enough to render such a beautiful fake.

Did some flying yesterday and while it was some ugly scenery, it was wide open and I could fly far and fast! Some tiny vibration problems but overall good times.

Hoverfly SPORT hard at work!

It's a GoPro Hero 2 shot at 720p 60fps. What's probably deceiving about it is that I used a filter in FinalCut Pro X to remove the fisheye warp normally associated with the GoPro. It worked pretty well!

Hey thanks Adidas! I really enjoyed this one myself.

No gimbal on this frame, I just picked out mostly level flights

I did try and run it through the stabilizer in Final cut but for some reason it got worse. I think that remove fisheye filter helped a bunch and may be why it looks stabilized, tilt anyway, because now the horizon is always flat instead of warped.
