At one point it looks as if there is a second bird chasing the bird thats chasing the RC plane. If thats a Mama eagle and they were flying near her nest, no wonder she was mad. The video made me dizzy as hell too.
@bosskev: There kinda sorta was one, where the eagle swooped in on the handler, then the camera switches to an underside rear view and there's a rodent in it's claws, then the camera switches to a front underside view and you see the eagle reaching back for a snack while in flight... coolness.
@Bueller: Must have missed that, sorry. To be honest, around the halfway point I started scanning/spot checking forward. Artistically speaking, the vid was just way too long, feeling like too much redundant footage left in to pad out the entire Sade song.
@Bueller: Actually, I would think an eagle (any bird) has its own natural, biological "image stabilization" system built into how it views the world during flight. Thus, turning on the camera's IS system would have better approximated the eagle's POV. Still, for it to be mounted as it had been, the camera might have been some kind of micro-rig that just didn't have an IS system.

Fly like and eagle, let my spirit carry me...
I want to fly like an eagle till I'm free...
Oh Lord! Through the revolution...
I'm surprised they didn't use this song for the video.
Gorgeous though.
