OK, here's something crazy: A German Octocopter with a Red Epic attached. It's not the helicopter that's crazy.
In fact, I saw this local guy flying this little electric helicopter with a small Canon "point and shoot" camera that also records video (did I mention it was electric? Very quiet).
No, the crazy thing is putting a brand new Red Epic on one of these fixed pitch helicopters. It's one thing to put a $150 camera on one, but as a helicopter pilot, I'm here to tell you that if the engine fails on that German drone it will drop like a anvil and there will be lots of pieces of Red Epic everywhere.
Maybe that's why the German helicopter never flies higher than 4 feet above grass...
