The National Association of Broadcasters meet in Las Vegas has seen quite a few high-tech camera’s and the latest to join this bandwagon is this Flying Camera. The “Flying” bit in the Flying Camera is due to the camera being mounted on a micro helicopter. Coming to the Flying Cam’s specifications, it weighs just 15 kilos and has a rotor length of 1.8 meters. It can fly at a top speed of 120 kmph and can attain a maximum altitude of a vertigo inducing 14000 feet above sea level. Controlling the spy camera is via a ground based remote control. The micro-helicopter is propelled by methane which will make it an instant favorite among the green brigade. The Paparazzi too might want to buy one of these for some juicy aerial pics of stars in action, we mean the private kind of action. You will be quite amazed to know that this very camera is responsible for for some stunning aerial footage in movies like Harry Potter, Van Helsing and even the soon-to-be-released, The Kite Runner. You can watch the videos of the movies captured by the Flying Cam here.
