The production firm Brain Farm has figured out a way to hook up the powerful Phantom Flex 4K camera on a drone to capture dazzling, ultra 4K HD footage that would even make Michael Bay jealous.It's more ambitious than it sounds because the Flex 4K camera, which they describe as one of the "world's most dynamic slow motion cameras," clocks in at 15 pounds so it can't be attached to any regular drone — not even the "world's premium" 24-pound Aerigon drone.To make this flying monster work, Brain Farm modified the drone to increase its power by 40 percent so it could swiftly carry the camera. All in all, this beefed up drone weighs 30 pounds and costs nearly a quarter of a million dollars."The title of this will either be 'The Most Technically Advanced Drone Camera Flight of All Time' or the quarter million dollar crash," says Brain Farm CEO Curt Morgan in the promo video.Luckily for him, it was the former.The drone flew without a problem and recorded what appears to be the most jaw-dropping pickup truck commercial ever. In fact, it wasn't the drone that had a hiccup so watch the end of this clip.via Gizmodo
