African Wildlife Buzzed By Remote Camera Drone

Last week we saw a GoPro camera get up close and personal with a lioness, and this week we have another video that features African wildlife being visited by another unique camera. This time, it is mounted on a remote controlled microdrone that is then flown over the Mara Plains in Kenya, where it is able to get some unique views of the animals wandering the area. Those critters don't always look happy to see it, and I'm willing to bet it makes a bit of a noise, but it does capture some cool images.

Note to the filmmakers, more of the wildlife and scenery and less of drone in your next release. Otherwise, cool stuff!
