I stopped and watched you filming while riding my bike up the hill. What a great video!

Best aerial of the Loop I've seen! The photography brings new meaning to serpentine. And the choreographed ending is just perfect. Well done!

Espetacular! Os brothers americanos são bons de serviço mesmo; vejam só que beleza: completada em 1876, que maravilha!

Ended just like I thought it should with a shot following it into the tunnel. Another fine video. Good edit and music choice too.

Spectacular video! Thanks for sharing! Now I have to rebuild my Tehachapi Loop layout to exact scale, LOL! (if it would even fit in my basement, heh!)

[@itwasaliens]

Fun fact: The cross at 1:55 is to commemorate railroad employees who died in a train derailment in 1989.

supper emeği geçen herkese teşekkür ediyorum

[@Cornelu]

Super video!

[@BigRichMann]

Your approach was vastly different from daemn42's. By the way, he told me about your production. I like the Kasey Chambers - Living on the Railroad background but for some reason i think hearing the trains climb the grade would have been cooler. Overall nice production! Well done!

toujours aussi passionnent surtout vue par un drone

[@phinsgranpop]

Just found this footage. What can I say but WOW!!!. Fantastic footage. How long can a flight last?. Would love to see more of the loop this way. Very interesting shots. Adds whole new prospective on the loop & the surrounding landscape.(first time I've seen the monument on top of the hill). Thanks

[@camerajumper1]

Dave O'Callaghan Thx for comments. Each flight is up to 10 minutes, just to be safe from low battery voltage. I hope to make a winter version of this, after a good snow.

[@mikerossscuba]

Wow.

[@camerajumper1]

Thx Guys!!

[@stephenbrown6319]

[@chriscambridge3451]

+camerajumper1 thanks my friend

[@HeartlandTuber]

How long was that train at 3:00? 4,000 feet long a train loops over itself. That train looked to be maybe TWICE that long, way over a mile long.

[@kd7tqn]

What kind of flight time to you get and with what size battery? Awesome.vid

[@camerajumper1]

I don't using push more than 8 minutes. Battery goes faster chasing around subjects as in some of my other videos. Thx.

[@camerajumper1]

Oh , 5000mah 4s batteries.

[@Dron261]

супер видео автору респект

[@nyztyz]

Great! I use the same equipment...just need to add the video downlink, can I ask what you use or would recommend?

[@camerajumper1]

I'm using Boscam 5.8MHz VTx and 5.8MHz Boscam goggles. I like it cause it's antennas are small. You don't get the range as other frequencies but 5.8 works with just about any radio system, 2.4 or UHF. Fatshark goggles are good, you have to make sure the VTX and RTX have the same frequencies.

[@hopethehermit]

Amazing video - thanks. I just with you;d done it without the background music!

[@nyztyz]

Do you use a video downlink so you can see what you are shooting?

[@camerajumper1]

I have live video from the Hexacopter F550 to a pair of video goggles or tv monitor on the ground. I fly a DJI Hexacopter with a Tarot 2-axis gimbal with Gopro 3+.

Hey, nice aerial shots, very professional! I just shot the same loop June 14, 2015 using my Q500+ quadcopter ($1250, not nearly as nice as your setup). Fun to shoot, had a great time doing this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJfUe2SBl6tnlac
