Yes, I saw that the other day. Very nice copter. Did you notice the make of the camera? I ask because there was very little barrel distortion like in some go-pros. I suspect also, that it was on gimbals.

The camera is the DJI camera that can be purchased with the quadcopter. Not sure if DJI makes the camera or has someone make them for them.

Looks like they are also coming out with a handheld for their camera too.

Wow. Cool. Didja notice that the copter took off, levitated for a bit, then raised the propellers?

No propellers in the footage!

It is an expensive quad copter so I would expect some of those kind of features. But I really like the look of the camera and the handheld gimbal. It has a real art-deco look to it. Looks like it would be something Apple designed.
