Saw this in another forum! This thing is hauling a 5DM2...reach beyond a crane's capability, smooth as a steadycam and dolly plus able to reach the sky..drooling.

HOLY HOLY HOLY SHEEEEEEE-IT! Wow. Just incredible what can be achieved these days with gizmos and gadgets.

That's incredible.

Delving a little further, there seems to be alot of noise from the contraption. But being reasonable, I can't imagine it would be used in any situation where it was going to disturb the sound recording.

Okay, the further i go, the better this product gets. Speechless.

In the video it looked like the guy could see what was being shot, so I'm assuming that there is some sort of wireless output from the camera? Or does the camera hook into the aerial device which transmits it? Also, how do you pull focus wirelessly? Can all cameras be rigged to have remote controlled focus?

Forgot to mention, it was pretty freakin sweet!

What was the location?

That was incredible.

I strapped a Flip HD camera on to the bottom of my RC helicopter and tried to fly it off the roof of my house. Suffice it to say it did not work as well as that...
