Rest in Peace Alan David Purwin. Your contribution to the world was astounding, and you will be severely missed. :(

When the camera costs more than the helicopter lol

[@eldritch661]

they are flying in AS350 B2-B3 twinstars i would bet the helicopters cost upward of 3-4 million new depending on their base loadout.

[@nathannn8469]

idk what helicopter your referring to. that is a mid-size helicopter right there. thats hovering around $1M at the lowest. depending on the model it can rise by the millions.

Why don’t they just use drones

[@egg5474]

Because they’re flying several kilometres in the air above cities which would lead to catastrophic loss of control without a video connection. Besides most of this work was done when drones were a complete joke for video

[@nathannn8469]

drones cant go as fast, make the movements of a helicopter, go as high, they have more turbulence, and helicopters are just badass.

[@jessiemcintyre3126]

Drones move slow that's why they use helicopter
