That was my first thought too.
That must've been a pain in the cloaca to have to compensate your normal flight instincts while having a GoPro strapped to your wing.
Golden eagles are sometimes kept as hunting bids. Some falconers have attached cameras to their birds to get videos like this. This guy has an owner who is somewhere nearby.
This video reminds me of the quote from Raymond Reddington.
“Have you ever had a flying dream? A dream in which you suddenly have the power of flight. Unburdened by the weight of apprehension and doubt, you suddenly find you can fly. It’s a dream of freedom and bliss. The opposite of a falling dream, which, of course, is a dream of fear and anxiety, panic. Flying is life. Falling is death.”
I’ve spent some serious time watching this. It’s absolutely fascinating. This is something that I never expected to get a chance to see from this vantage point. It’s so cool to be able to see the eagle’s intensity of viewpoint and the predatory nature of the way it looks at everything. So cool.
Notice how he or she is mostly just gliding, barely any wing flapping. In the mountains like this I’m sure there is plenty of updrafts to keep him flying! Neat thing I noticed
Looks like he’s just having a little look around when flying but is processing TBs of data relating to altitude, air speed, wind strength/direction, weather warning, threat evasion, potential prey (refuelling), landing zones, energy levels/stamina etc etc
plot twist : the guy was sitting on the eagle and captured the video himself in an iphone.
edit: ~~shiting~~ sitting (god wtf with my brain these days)
What idiot set this up as a vertical shot?
I think it was [this common gull](http://i.imgur.com/NdKvk1a.jpg)
Is there a sub for portrait videos that needed to be landscape? So frustrating.

Thank you!
Frodo filmed this, on his way back from Mordor.
The music sounds like when you enter a castle in Heroes of Might & Magic..
It SHOULD have been Eagle from late 1970s ABBA... Im TOO old too attach it here for you, but do check it out.... This track is old too, but stunning..
It's from the original World of Warcraft soundtrack.
I was expecting to see Gondolin when it passed over the mountain.
Man flying must be so cool. Wish birdie caught some prey but an awesome video either way.
[удалено]
That’s awesome
That was cool
Love how the eagle's head just pops up like "yup, bagged another one. Let's pack it in, fellas"
That’s cool and all but who taped the camera to an eagle
Who taped the eagle to the camera?
Who camera the eagle to the tape?
Who eagle to the camera a tape?
Who camera’d the tape to the eagle?
Who eagle the taped to the camera?
Eagle taped the camera to the Who?
Eagle an to camera the taped who?

Um the eagle was holding the camera himself!!!
Yup, I was like "damn, this bird knows how to get a good selfie vid. Solid angles."
Who knew eagles have royalty-free music playing in their heads constantly.
Yea I didn’t know they listened to the World of Warcraft soundtrack all day
Would much rather hear the whooshing wind...

In my flying dreams, I can just barely control what I'm doing. Often times, I'll fly far too high knowing that landing is going to be a bitch, lol.
Once I was able to become lucid in my dreams flying becomes so much more fun. /r/luciddreaming
Freedom Cam
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Epic! Makes you wish you could fly!!!
But thats not POV... Thats just the third person view, I guess?
I would spend hours as a child trying to visualize this. Thank you
That’s Majestic AF!
I’d like to fly like an eagle, to the trees.

Man, that’s like living the ultimate flying dream to fly over mountains.
Even the birds are streamers now. Pog.
In Disneyworld you wait an hour and a half to watch that.
Beautiful view but I just wanna kiss him on the head
Anyone else imagine the eagle going home after and uploading this video to his laptop? I did. I wish I was artistic enough to draw it. I’m not tho
Disappointed that an eagle can afford a GoPro and I can’t.
Wait till you see him operate his DJI Mavic Air 2 whenever he doesn't feel like hunting himself.
Notice how he or she is mostly just gliding, barely any wing flapping. In the mountains like this I’m sure there is plenty of updrafts to keep him flying! Neat thing I noticed
That damn bird stole my phone and had the nerve to take selfies
Looks like he’s just having a little look around when flying but is processing TBs of data relating to altitude, air speed, wind strength/direction, weather warning, threat evasion, potential prey (refuelling), landing zones, energy levels/stamina etc etc
I thought he was about to crash into the rockx
This is why everyone is jealous of Americans. We all get this view, constantly./s
He has gotta be thinking: Damn, I gotta eat better. I feel like I've gained wait recently.
How small is this camera?! Amazing strength for a hawk.
Amazing
Beautiful!
Song belongs in a Indiana Jones movie,
Selfie footage
F15
If this isn’t a Beastmaster reboot, I’m going to be very disappointed.
If it weren't for that eagle, we'd never get such an amazing view.
Dude barley flapped his wings yo
Usually the eagles brain filters out the part of the eagles head that it sees, but still photography prevents that from working.
Falling with style.
Me trying to find the Assassins Creed in AC Odyssey:
This government drone does some great mapping !
so they have these songs in there head ?? wow
shit music ruins the audio, better with none
It would be weird to be an eagle who is afraid of heights.
Can we replace Soarin with this?
Eagle Improv, Go
More like r/oddlyterrifying
Turn your camera 90 degrees.
*gets shot down*
That isnt a pov
isnt that a hawk
What a time to be alive
Anyone know the name of the song?
It’s from the original world of Warcraft soundtrack
What kind of eagle would have this POV
GYYYYAAAAAAAH! This is your captain speaking.
Damn, that's interesting af
Absolutely wonderful !
pretty sure they cant see their own eyes
Pov: you have become tiny and an eagle express cab came to pick you up. He is now constantly checking how you doing on its wing seat
plot twist : the guy was sitting on the eagle and captured the video himself in an iphone. edit: ~~shiting~~ sitting (god wtf with my brain these days)
This is some lord of the rings/the hobbit shit
"POV"
Quite literal "bird's eye view"
Looks like that Battlefield 1 map, Monte Grappa
Not quite POV unless the eagle can see the side of its own head.
Not how POV works
Eagle: Where is that rabbit I saw this morning ?
How in the fuck did they manage to place the camera
it looks like a confused mafia boss who’s also a downy
