Ever wanted to go airborne with your camera?
With GoPro getting serious about entering the indie film business and the release of this affordable helicopter you’re closer to accomplish that dream.

It’s definitely a shaky procedure and I hear that practice has a lot to do with getting the nice seconds you need to accomplish your shot.

There are several videos on the homepage of the manufacturer as well as on YouTube that show how footage taken with this product looks like. There hasn’t been any GoPro 35Mbit footage though, I wonder what this device could deliver in the right hands.

There is also a more expensive model, the HPQ-2 that costs $1800 and can carry HDSLR cameras.
