Wonder if the one buzzing the stadium was official or freelance. Camera attached?

They announced over the PA that it was an aerial photo shoot.

Pictures #17 & 18 are a pretty sad representation of our fans that left in the 4th quarter, considering that we eventually missed a game tying fg in closing seconds to force overtime. Just saying. Go Mountaineers!

I thing the NSA was stealing the signal from the mini chopper and sending the information to Ron Broadway's booth during the game giving him key information concerning our play calling and formations.

I had a two day photo shoot this weekend and the guy doing the video part of it brought one of those with a GoPro Hero3 camera attached. It was the coolest thing ever and it really gets you some great shots that of course would not be possible otherwise. Plus it was great fun just to watch it. I'm seeing it used more and more lately. And the chopper itself is not terribly expensive. But once you put all the components together: chopper, telemetry, camera control and the camera itself plus your screen to be able to see the camera feed, its about a $2k setup., so it won't be in my equipment arsenal just yet.

Makes it easy to comprehend "Big Brother" or Al-Qaeda flying a drone down one's chimney! Piece-o-cake! Welcome to the future!
