Ran across this video on the Jackson Kayak Facebook page. Looks like they shot the entire film with a remote control helicopter of some sort. I enjoyed it so thought I would pass it along.

You'd have to be one helluva good RC operator to fly and take shots like that and keep from wrecking such expensive equipment.  It's $4,500 to $23,500 for a ready to shoot setup.

I'd dump that thing in the first 5 minutes.

YEs, it does take some piloting skills but these things are so giro controlled they ALMOST fly themselves.  grathed, I'm sure this was shot by someone with some real experience flying one.

Was thinking the same thing. Overhead footage while fishing some boiler rocks! That would be epic.

I guess something happened to the hard drive that the footage was stored on, so Drew is paying some guy to try and retrieve all that footage from the busted drive.
