Great video. My brother recently lost an airplane with cameras mounted on it. The camera with video feed back to his laptop went dark. No idea what happened. A local pilot volunteered to fly low over the area where it went down. The first day she thought she had spotted it and him and a flying friend went looking for it. No luck. She flew another day and got a definite location with GPS coordinates and they recovered the plane. It's an expensive hobby. Like photography.

It's hard to believe such a small helicopter can churn up the water so much.

WAY COOL!

Is there a way to pull stills from the video?

You would have some unusual stills

If you see those views I guess we'll never read another post from you. That reminds me. I've got an old barrel around here somewhere if you want to take the ultimate joy ride. Stay safe around the falls and be sure to post some photos. :thumbup:

Like this? I paused the video at random and used a snip it tool. It's available free on the net. Look for screen capture software. :thumbup:

So special, great video.
The birds, and the tiny people periodically give the viewer a needed measuring tool for the shear mass of what we see!...Nice feature.
As a pilot of that expensive toy, it must have been very exciting to control the cam-copter realizing that a mistake means a total loss!...some balls and confidence are involved here!!
Thanks for sharing.
