I am guessing two operators maybe? One for camera and another for the copter. Those things aren't easy to fly and a couple of the shots didn't look like a copter just flying in and capturing a shot as it flew over. Well done.
Might be a good way to poach filming and not pay (except for the forested stuff). I could see UCI employing some triple-A just to make sure it doesn't happen
Back 4-5 years ago someone posted a film made with a professional RC heli camera rig. Like a $5k heli with a gyro stabilized camera platform. It was filmed outside of SLC. The filename was utahbike.mp4 I have it on my computer in it is the best bike filming I have seen short of a real heli.
These boys have covered the BMX world champs in Pietermaritzburg this year and various other cycling events as well as work for a host of of commercial clients. Really nice guys to work with! RC Helicam
We have developed a purpose built camera gimble with vibration isolation and roll, tilt and pan stabilisation and compensation.
The result is remarkably smooth video footage.
