This video was shot using a hexacopter flying along the coast.

Equipment used to make his video:

DJI F550 hexacopter with Naza controller, Graupner 10x5 props, and "askman" AG550-GP gimbal with GoPro HD camera. FPV with Immersion RC 5.8 GHz 600mW video transmitter, Bluebeam whip antennas, FatShark Dominator goggles, RMRC 600 FPV camera. Control with Spektrum DX8 with AR8000 receiver with satellite. Zippy 5800mAH 4s flight battery.

So, what's a hexacopter?

Is is a remote controlled helicopter that has 6 blades and can lift more than 9 pounds off the ground.

    What a wonderful video! I’ve been planning to buy or build a flying camera platform for some time and this cements my resolve. I’ll try to use your choice of equipment as a guide. Thanks again. Frank F.
