Drone-mounted cameras? It only gets better!
Freefly Systems at NAB this year is looking to add another element to the airborne filmmaking mix with a professional-grade UAV that can fly with a camera above its body. The hexacopter comes ready to fly out of the box, with a whopping 15 lb (6.8 kg) payload to tow bulky, high quality shooters such as the 6K Red Dragon, Sony F55 and the Alexa Mini.
With the camera mounted on top, the drone rises from the floor of a forest weaving through towering timber and capturing the treetops from an entirely fresh angle. This little glimpse is enough to see where FreeFly Systems is coming from with this edgy UAV design, and how it hopes to ignite the imaginations of filmmakers with a penchant for pushing the boundaries.
