GoPro’s been working on this camera thing for a while now, so you’d expect anything it makes to capture great footage. This video is still impressive. GoPro’s launching a drone in the first half of next year, and released a two-minute video captured with a prototype. “The footage has not been stabilized in post-production,” the video says, and if that’s true GoPro’s got a winner on its hands.
The color and dynamic range aren’t the point—the footage is shot on the Hero 4, which you can already buy. What’s amazing is the perfect, almost dolly-like stability of the shots of an idyllic farm and a journey through the forest. The sleepy guitar music, though, has nothing to do with the drone. It’s just nice.

Vulcanuav.com stuff is a lot better and I for one cant stand gopro. they have done that video on the calmest of days. Get a proper drone get a Vulcan!
+1 Victor!
Video is decent but nothing unique. I want to see if they can make a compact and rugged quadcopter frame, that's what I expect from a GoPro brand vehicle.
I'd much prefer to see GoPro spend their time on coming up with a decent lens suitable for aerial shooting rather than another quadcopter.
meh
Also notice that in every shot it's dead calm - no wind it seems of any kind.
some competition for 3dr on the us market is ok :-)
i agree, but i wonder what will the sales be. It could target unexperienced pilots with a good result.
