Thought I would post this first attempt at some GoPro footage from a Phantom quadcopter/ drone, or whatever you call 'em. Mike did the hard work in driving the copter, I was just the bunny paddling around in circles.
Disclaimer: It's pretty rough, I am a total newbie at editing and it is not intended to be Von Piros quality quad copter filming - so be kind. Also, even though it doesn't look it, it was quite windy (15 - 18 knots onshore) and Mike's copter isn't waterproof, so we had to be careful. We did manage to lodge the thing in a tree on the cliffs you see in the footage on it's first flight, when it got hit by a gust and the updraft, but we were able to retrieve it without damage or a dunking.
Anyway, it gives some idea of the potential for new angles and perspectives for filming water sports.
