First flight of Phantom quadcopter around New York City

Using a Phantom quadcopter to soar through the city’s urban canyons, filmmaker Nicolas Doldinger shows New York from above.

The most surprising part of the video is that Doldinger was able to make it without getting busted in the near police state of Manhattan. No one seems to notice – not even the pedestrians over whose heads the quadcopter is flying.  It shows just how quiet and inconspicuous these technologies can be.
