I love this video clip, hands down the best I have seen to date from a multirotor. Can you guess I am a little bored of endless reveals and pans ;-) No bits of an airframe in shot, no GoPro distortion and filming exactly what they want it to. Brilliant! Watch in HD !
The images tell the story and yes we are told its from a hexacopter but that does not really matter a story is conveyed.

Wow, Can you have the refueling tank( the large white tanker) so near/not so far during the launch? The aerial shot seems to show that!
That was an AWESOME PERSPECTIVE!!!! Great job guys!!!!
John, "None at all" is the actual answer to how many take offs and landings with full tanks. It's only got a single Merlin engine which wouldn't get it off the ground fully loaded. The next Dragon to the ISS is due to be using a stretched first stage with higher thrust engines and the current plan is to over-fuel it a bit and see if they can get a controlled descent after stage separation. It'll be out at sea if they do, they need to check it works reliably a few times before trying to bring it back to dry land...

That is so cool! I can't say I have seen a rocket land on it's bum like that before.
You can see the Hexacopter up in the air.

The rocket tech is pretty good too...:-)
They should invest in a brushless gimbal.
