Since their inception and mainstream introduction, helmet cams have given the masses some of the world’s most fascinating footage. Recently, a group of falconers in Abu Dhabi took things a step further and attached a minute helmet cam to a falcon’s head, and then took the bird out to the desert to hunt. The results are amazing to say the least. Sensitive viewers be warned though, the hunt does get a bit bloody.
According to PetaPixel, the tiny helmet cam was created specially for the falconer’s bird of prey. The “falcon-footage”, which only starts about two minutes in, is amazingly stable, and just goes to show how graceful and precise these powerful birds are.
The captivating footage has been up on the ‘Tube for just over a week and has already racked up over 500 000 views!
