Waterfalls and Kauai From A Drone

My fellow drone buddies Ian and Marty from DroneMaui.com recently took a trip to Kauai and of course they took along their DJI Phantoms to get some aerial footage.  There are some great shots of some of the wonderful natural scenario the Hawaiian island of Kauai has to offer.  Hypnotic, endless tree lined roads, water falls, blowholes, and even a little crash - it is all here in this nice clip.  Great work guys!

On a side note, they were waiting to get a DJI Phantom Backpack to make hiking the drone much easier but it did not get here in time for them to test it out.  I was really looking forward to hearing how it did because carrying my hard case on long hikes is not fun (but it is a good workout!).  Here is a link to a backpack case for several different drones on Amazon and a cooler but more expensive one from GoProffesional.  If you are planning on hiking your gear to get cool shots, I can really see the advantage of a backpack over a hard case, but nothing beats ahard case for carrying a quadcopter on an airplane!
