Here’s The Most Stunning Drone Footage Ever

Right from Amazon delivery to pizza delivery, drones are everywhere. The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is highly effective in film making as well, it comes handy for taking aerial shots. However, best cinematic quality can’t be attained via drones as the high grade cameras are simply too heavy to be pulled up by a drone.

Interestingly, all the weight related shortcomings didn’t bother the drone hackers at Brain Farm from mounting the Phantom Flex4k high-speed digital camera (weighing almost 15 pounds) on a heavy-lift Aerigon drone. Brain Farm is pretty famous for taking unbelievable drone videos.

The Aerigon drone is a powerful drone and is known for its heavy-lifting ability, but, it is not much capable to lift a Flex4K camera that has the capability of shooting 1,000 Frames Per Second. To overcome the disability, drone makers increased the power output of the Aerigon by an another 40-percent and reworked its gimbal to carry the camera into the air. The entire overhaul of the drone costed around quarter of a million dollars.

All was worth it as the setup worked amazingly well. The footage captured through the setup came out really good. The slow-motion of the captured footage is insanely awesome. Now that the experiment was highly successful, we can expect the technology to be soon used in movies to capture the best of the action.
