Musta been some pretty nifty camera gear if it was a chopper? See how smooth & define

You'd be surprised HA. I have flown choppers where the camera, or more accurately the camera mount, was worth about the same as the aircraft! From about 50 metres at 60 knots away we could zoom in on an actors face and have it perfectly still on the screen. Mind you, for anywhere up to $10,000 a day you'd want something special.

Cheers,

Hollywood
