What RVA Looks Like From 400 Feet in the Air

Look! Up at the Sky! It’s a Bird! It’s a plane! It’s a… quadcopter and its got a camera on it!


Look! Up at the Sky! It’s a Bird! It’s a plane! It’s a… quadcopter and its got a camera on it!

Check out this incredibly neat video via Hendy Street Produxions:

We found this video after one of its producers, Tony Morin, shot us the link.

Morin said his quadcopter goes anywhere from 20-400 ft in the air. He’s part of the same team of folks who put together the AMAZING Whiskey Rebellion live show documentary last year.

This new video paints RVA in a pretty cool light. I’m getting a bit of a warg-vibe from it (Game of Thrones fans unite) too.

So have a look and realize we are all ants in the eyes of our quadcopter overlords.
