The Stunning Video When "Camera On A Drone" Entered An Active Volcano
Earlier this week, a bunch of guys from DJIGlobal had a brilliant idea: let's take the infamous "camera on a stick" from Go Pro(laroid), stick it on a drone, and dump the whole thing above the magma caldera of Iceland's most recent active volcanic eruption at Bardarbunga, while filming every step of the way.
The resulting video is stunning, even if the camera melted in the process.
Here, in DJI's own words:
DJI's first video in a series called "DJI Feats" takes you to the remote wilderness of an erupting Icelandic volcano, where Phantom 2 quadcopters are used to capture viewpoints of an exploding magma caldera too dangerous to be approached by manned aircraft.
The video was so impressive, none other than Charlie Rose covered the process:

This volcano will come in handy when they need to start getting rid of those pesky Ebola victims.
I hear that six million of them were burned alive in that volcano...
What they don't show in these clips, is Frodo Baggins and Smeagol fighting over the joystick controlling the drone.
that video reminds me of an awesome obama i mean bowel movement that i had the other night
According to Dante, that's the circle of Hell reserved for the bankers.
I thought this was a tutorial on credit based economies with declining raw resource
STOP IT NOW FROM CAUSING GLOBAL WARMING!
WHAAAAAAHHHHH!!! GLOBAL WARMING!! WHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Can Obongo play golf in there?
If you look REAL closely, you can see the trapped souls of millions of murdered aliens, murdered by Xenu, 75 million years ago.
You can see them writhing in soul-pain, just waiting to escape and inhabit a human host, and make that host want to do evil, like watch Oprah.
Hitler hated them for their freedoms...
This is what happens when you allow fracking.
Magma comes out of the hot water taps in your home.
Did you hear that?
The volcano god says it wants Jon Corzine!
Better do what it says.
OH MY GODDD!!!
Global warming is even worse than I thought!!!
FIRE!!!!!!!!!!
Did they beam Spock out in time?
The molten rock serves as a moat of fire to protect the Klingon money printing machines.
I thought it was the womb bankers are spat out of....
question for the real science buffs out there.
How many cars (taking into consideration that a car, on average spends less than 40 minutes per/day running) does it take to equal the heat (i.e. global warming influence) of this ONE volcano?
Hmmm...trick question. Volcanoes cause global cooling.
Venom.....ya might want to cut back on the Sriracha sauce for a while..
The video kind of reminds me of my wife when I forget to take out the trash...
The eagles don't show up until I say so, bitchez. ;-)
And there I thought it was Smaug's bubble bath.
"What they don't show in these clips, is Frodo Baggins and Smeagol fighting over the joystick controlling the drone."
If you like The Lord of the Rings, you've got to see this alternate ending clip... hilarious.

There is actually in Iceland a ring of power that needs to be destroyed. It has lost much of its power already and i was hoping it could be used for something constructive but it looks like i was wrong about that
It is evil in nature and pointless to look for useful properties in it.
If politicians who have failed miserably are given a second chance, they will use the opportunity to abolish taxes on the rich, increase taxes on the poor, fight for crime, use the media to attack those who stand against crime, like financial crime investigators and prosecutors, just to mention a few things.
That magic number will be used again, have no doubt.
I heard 600 million.
I'm sure the Luciferians would enjoy a few sacrifices via volcanoes.
And you wouldn't? come on now. we're on zh. we know the truth
I'm sure that a few volcanoes would enjoy a few sacrices of Luciferians.
-fify
touche
I goggled this Lucifer chap and according to the all knowing Wikipedia it means "Light bearer". So its rather peculiar if the Lord of darkness is this Light bearer.
Not really making sense of this, but i suppose no one really does.
You never heard of rebranding? Where's that damn reset button?
Charlie Rose? Mega libtard idiot and Obam supporter. Why Ray Dalio even talks to the douchebag is beyond me.
Maybe we can throw Charlie Rose in the volcano.
stock footage for the countless 'lost world' movies to come.
Incredible.
Not bad.
But this is stunning:

Tyler pumping GPRO.
i've only been here a month or so ... and i'm getting that cnbc vibe (pay $$s and we'll give you airtime to push your position) from many a post
Why the downvotes? Arent we all cynics? This looks like a commercial to me...
Look Obama, a drone that doesn't kill people!
Obama IS a drone
This should easily push GPRO over 200.
Long Go Proooooo

Long global survailence panopticon technologies.
I bet Bawney Fwanks "magma caldera" looks just like that this morning.
"Sorry, this video can't be displayed in your region."??? Did they catch a glimpse of an Alien or Bigfoot or something?
Where are you?
Probably Iceland...
Be a HERO
You know what else reminds me of this bubbling volcanic activity? The clusterfuck that is the world's economic/financial/monetary/political systems.
+1 I was going to say it reminds me of an ebola victim's intestines exploding but your analogy is better.
How many hazmat-adorned docontamination specialists does it take to clean up eBolan regurgitation off a sidewalk?
Que?
I was freaked when I saw that. I cannot say it was okay to do for sure (I would not have) but apparently Ebola does not do too well outside controlled conditions. 6 days alive in the lab, a few hours outside once exposed to UV. Meanwhile, I ain't signing on to do it with just my sprayer. Don't want to live in it either!
For 'disease screening,' hire the male gangstas, degenerates, thugs, and corresponding lady counterparts (TSA). For 'disease cleanup,' hire the Mexican who doesn't speak English.
Yep, fucking perfect!
This is a caste issue. It doesn't matter what race you come from. The lowest caste dies first.
This eruption at Holuhraun is a small fissure eruption. Kind of like the Fimmvörðuháls eruption.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojpi04Ikcms
just prior to the explosive Eyjafjallajökull eruption. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJO1QEmcZGs
But what is happening now is on a much larger scale, Bárðarbunga is considerably lager than Eyjafjallajökull, she is also in a rather dangerous spot in a large volcanic system under Europe's largest glacier.
Her caldera is 10 km wide and ca 800 meters deep, filled with ice.
The current fissure eruption in Holuhraun is far more dangerous than Fimmvörðuháls because of poisonous material in the atmosphere among other things. But its beautiful like natures creations usually are.
Like fire tornadoes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JibBlRG3lDQ
Or Witch hair http://avd.is/is/?p=387 this is a rare phenomenon last seen in the Laki fissure eruption. This hair is made from glass and sometimes rolls around like tumble weed. http://vísir.is/section/MEDIA99&fileid=CLP29537
I think that the 08 financial crash was like a small fissure eruption, some toxic material leaked to the surface and a few quakes rattled the ground. But since then, pressure has been building up and if one looks at recent events, it looks like we might be getting closer to beginning of the end of a financial/political system that was never designed to last.
Hot
I recall seeing, as a child, a similar film back in late 40's early 50's of a volcano in Mexico filmed by Igor Sikorsky from a newly invented helocopter. Sikorsky toured various US cities in effort to promote and gain investments for production of his new aircraft. It is now a division of United Technologies. Both helocopters and drones are technological achiecements that can help mankind. but also be used for war and destruction.
Internet, GPS, microwaves, digital cameras, some antibiotics, canned food, ambulance service, and apparently even tampons and pads have all benefitted or been outright developed by the military.
It could be debated whether the military hindered or advanced progress. We can not omit supressed technologies and those crowded out by carbohydrate-rich ones.
We would probably have all of those things and many many more without military intervention. Probably cheaper too.
Tampons and pads?? A benefit?
Sure. More women in the workforce! Keep them mobile! Barefoot and in the kitchen is a threat to the establisment!!!
Pads are a benefit. You don't want your partner in a diaper. I wrote a little about this below.
Promote war and military to advance science? Much of " basic research" is funded by government, and Defense Dept when there is military component, through universities and institutes but "applied research" is developed in private sector by profit motive.
I say fuck that too. The thing is, crisis and need do stimulate creativity. Necessity being the mother of invention and all. It is when it is life and death that we think of stuff we would not consider.
I think I would like to skip the war too, but profit is not always enough to get the creative juices flowing.
I am sick of how the military seems to be influencing research funding. The universities reward those of us who get grants, but not those who don't. They act like it is free market and capitalism when it isn't. Which one of us can convince the govt/military that we got ideas they need? That is who gets rewarded. It sucks. It is a sore spot for me. Real sore. I don't want to support it, but it's not like I could not if I believed in it. But I don't so because I am not willing to bark and beg at the MIC like a fucking seal to get fed, I can pound sand as they say. Fuck me. Etc.
Do not forget jet propulsion, nuclear fission, 88 mm cannons, V 2 rockets, etc. Oh, that was the other side
Hey MsCreant - you forgot the refrigerator...(WWI)
What did women do before tampons, ride a sheep for a week?
Seems they developed some cellulose material for soldiers when they were wounded to absorb the blood. The nurses saw the stuff and said "ah ha!" and started cutting up pads for themselves.
We had awkward rags that were a lot like diapers and such. Not too smooth under those yoga pants and skinny jeans. One can still buy or make "mooning pads" for oneself. Velcro is a new friend that makes some of that work better than it used to if you want to go that route. Still a lot of laundry and hassle vs. throwing it away. It does have a certain integrity though and if there is a collapse, women better get busy getting used to it.
The bad news is that they put asbestos in tampons! Can you believe it? Tampons are to be used sparingly.
[quote]The bad news is that they put asbestos in tampons![/quote]
Guess some gals are really hot stuff!
What about using natural bath sponge, carved into the appropriate shape?
You know, you are absolutely right. It's almost as if people cause wars, death and destruction and not technology.
More seriously...
War is always and everywhere, the people against their own leadership, not the people vs the other people.
Speaking of things on fire:
http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2014/10/03/report-major-fire-at-flight-93...
Never even knew they had a memorial there, or did.
The plane was shot down and the parts were scattered for two miles. Like 911, the memorial is a hoax.
That footage alone has got to be worth $10.96 billion of anyone's money.
well considering the prevalence of 401ks and all the shysters telling everyone to max theirs out, i guess you could say that's $11B of everyone's money. i mean goddamn, our system must be the worst of both worlds. collective ownership via pension and retirement funds. limited participation decision making (see broker non-votes). yet we must maintain separate financial and governmental structures to keep the facade of capitalism alive, instead of just consolidating the two.
More like 15 Billion, assuming full dilution in the next couple of years...
You show a bunch of people a video of an active volcano, and you get hundreds of different interpretations.
And then we wonder why people in Congress can't agree on anything.
;-)
That eruption is throwing out 35000 tons of SO2 per day; will it cause northern hemisphere cooling this winter?? Damn Putin thinks of everything.
that volcano should be taxed for those emissions....
Do we tax terrizz? (by modern definition, that volcano is performing an akt of terra (play on word intended))
What's so interested about this video compared to all other national geographic shows that I watch with active volcano?? Oh I guess it's cool to show some infomercial on what Gopro camera can do.
yeah, having seen this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuQrUwFn6bU), i wasnt that impressed. go to 7:52 mark for mind blown
apparently these fuckers at GoPro have never heard of zoom lenses....
Was the volcano pleased?
Perhaps a virgin would have been more effective.
Yes
Go (was a) Pro
Charlie Rose has been invited to a few Bilderberger meetings ... always take what he says with grain of salt
Person ; lets film a volcano with this thing !
Gov't ; Lets bomb the fuck outta someone with this thing !
Get a crap post like this
yet ignore AAA out with report that gas LOWEST in 4 years?
doesn't fit the agenda here, i guess
...
The AAA Daily Fuel Gauge Report on Thursday put the national average for regular unleaded at $3.33 a gallon, the lowest on this date in four years. AAA predicted that the national average could fall to between $3.10 and $3.20 by the end of the year, with several states slipping below $3. "If everything goes smoothly, buying gas for less than $3 per gallon should be refreshingly common in many parts of the country this winter," AAA spokesman Avery Ash said in a statement.
http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2014/10/aaa-winter-could-bring-widesp...
Gas was $1.82 when 0bama took office - admiring shit of a different color does not impress anyone.
get real. The $1.82 was at the pit of the recession.
oil was $140+ barrel six months earlier
Now it's 90 bucks a barrel, 3.40 a gallon (here anyway) and we're in the pit of a depression.
Good comparison. Must be the steaming hot economy driving the lower price.
Or steaming hot need for democrat votes this fall.
Yeah I guess private drilling and even more anemic demand will have that effect. Have I interpreted your agenda correctly?
Deflation on tap
though i doubt anyone here in the buy'em and stack'em crowd wants to hear that.
That's why we have cash, until it is uhhh-lllee-gull of course.
Not sure that the stack'ems would care. After all, the stack is still a stack, no matter what quantity of their elastic scrip that the Fed associates with it.
I made a sourdough with 2 hearted ale yeast.
Locally, regular now $3.89.
100 LL av gas $7.15 at the local county airport, but what the hell, all pilots are rich, right?
What's your agenda??? trying to scrap for a shred of propaganda/news that fits your narative as a liberal/government shill? Most of us live in the real world. We all can't be parasites supported by the efforts of people who actually work for a living.
That drone had better deliver my turkey pot pie.
These fucking flashing ads suck! If I have a seizure because of them I'm gonna sue somebody's ass!!! It's the American way, don't ya know.
I think, in the future, we will all be watching "cop lapel camera" TV. It will be a fun filled 15 minuties of the latest police shenanigans. Oh, we will have stupid people doing stupid things as a bonus. You are always in camera...even if you are a volcano.
Join the FSA? You get automatic membership in the black market for free!
Wouldn't be successful, for one reason.
When the shenanigans happen, the camera always, somehow, malfunctions.
Every. Fucking. Time.
Dash cames only work when a cop gets clipped roadside or when you are doing your roadside DUI test...and failing.
When a cop is actively braining the fuck out of someone he turns it off.
Buggy things, those cop cams.
Yeah, well.....that is true.
Don't forget this amazing act of nature

I lost my goddamn drone...
Freaking awesome! Molten rock bubbling like water on the stove.
Drones. Are lawyers and accountants not enough distance from accountability?
