    That's the same group you posted about last February:

    Looks like they were using a regular handycam type camera.

    Their pilot needs to learn some evasive maneuvers.

    Right!  You never want to "hover" over twenty shotguns.  Not real smart!  ;D

    It looks like his octocopter took the shot pretty well.  He was able to get back and land so it seems that there really is some redundancy in having eight ESCs/motors/propellers.
