    Yep and I got some really cool footage. I was shooting above an unpopulated area, went up, panned around a bit then came down. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9Y4JX9ed8s <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/G9Y4JX9ed8s" frameborder="0"...

    DJI Phantom - Happy Winter Flight 2013

    DJI Phantom used for news footage
