It says it's steady footage. Think there's some sort of OIS in there, or does it actually fly really steady. If the latter, couldn't you just disassemble the camera from it and rig a lightweight camera to it?

Have you played with an Air Hog before? They're tons of fun... but extremely light weight and very easy to knock off balance. In fact, all it takes to balance them towards the front is a very small, foil sticker added to the underside of the nose. Originally Posted by Hawk Teflon
