Art Hop From Above from VCAM Vermont on Vimeo.
Hey, South End artists and art lovers: Anyone happen to notice a buzzing sound at the 2013 South End Art Hop earlier this month? No, it wasn’t the late-season mosquitoes or all that free supermarket wine, but a new drone owned and operated by the Burlington-based nonprofit Vermont Community Access Media (VCAM). Clearly, drones aren’t just for police surveillance and taking out high-value Taliban targets anymore.
Matt Goudey, VCAM’s video technology coordinator, recently purchased a “DJI Quadcopter” for the organization. As the name suggests, the $650 model-plane-size chopper has four propellers and is operated with a remote control. This one is also outfitted with a wide-angle digital video camera for capturing aerial footage.
