Imagine being able to traverse New York city like Spider Man, swinging between buildings and flying through the concrete jungle. This awesome footage was taken by aerial filmmaker Randy Scott Slavin with a DJI Phantom quadcopter and captures that sensation. High tech RC helicopters and quadcopters have become relatively affordable over the last few years and with it, many more photographers and filmmakers have gained the ability to capture amazing, HD and stable (with a quadcopter) aerial footage by simply chucking their RC vehicle into the air with a GoPro duck-taped to it, or probably built in.

If you are inspired to give aerial photography and filming a go, make sure you have permission to film; certain shots in this footage may have needed permits.
