Quadcopter UAV flying over Niagara Falls.

Be sure and watch the beginning to see how small it actually is. Then watch the video in 1080P to see the awesome footage.

Here's the UAV - DJI Phantom and they're less than $500, and all you need to add is batteries and a camera.

And yes they had to get special permission to fly there as it is restricted airspace.

This video was taken from an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) operating in US and Canadian Restricted Airspace. Operating a UAS in this airspace presents a hazard to other aircraft and people and requires specific approval of the FAA and other agencies.
