Man I must be gettin' too old---WTH is with that chessy "music" I can't begin counting the number of home made videos like this with the same sort of lame backing audio. What's the reason behind that?

On another note though great control of the platform, nice views and changing camera angles.

Of course I love the videos of those who feel as though their privacy is compromised and use a 12 gauge to stop it!

Neighbor who's car was getting beat up chose the song.. I don't think any other type of song would fit the video.. lol

Privacy.... lol.. Power everything off in your house and maybe you'll have some..

Would you please link to the source for the aerial platform and video capture system.

NIce. I sure do love the quality of the gopro vids. someday I hope to have one. Good work on the drone movement. Pretty fluid and smooth. My boss has a drone with built in camera and his vids are no where near as smooth with the camera transitions and level flight. How long did you practice with this setup before this vid?

The gimbal is what makes all the difference.. This video below is a much more expensive unit but handles my GoPro the same ..
