All pics were done with a gopro hero 3 black edition while attached to a dji phantom 2 quad copter. Setup like this. The last pic is probably 120+ feet up (just a guess. We almost lost the signal on the copter due to distance). Most of those trees are about 35-50 feet tall

Reading owns me @ 1:38am. lol That thing is sweet!

Wonder if that thing could support the weight of a K?

Cool pictures, parents are without power as well up that way.

I doubt it would have enough lift, but I may just have to make a rig and try it lol.

Is that easy to fly? My company just bought one for some aerial walkthroughs of our projects and I'll be operating it... I'd hate to crash it ha.

I haven't flown it but my brother said its pretty smooth to fly. Hovers relatively steady and reacts well.

Woke up to this the other day. Luckily both cars are fine.

**** that. We had a tree fall in front of our work and missed our building my 2 feet at most.

Lol doesn't look that bad tbh but guess I come from a place with a 7,000+ Altitude

We deal with snow pretty decently, but ice and freezing rain is another animal here. Were also 500 feet above sea level. We had 14" of powdery snow last week, 9 inches of wet snow on monday, and .5 to .65 of ice and freezing rain. Almost all our powerlines are overhead and many many old trees around so the ice causes havoc here
