Is this real!?? Eagle wearing a GoPro

Edit: ...or some mini HD cam. Seems like it's pretty authentic. Amazing. Wondering why the landing was edited out though.

I say its real because the shadow of the bird is clearly visible at the right points. I would say the gopro probably fell off when the bird landed.

I wonder. It appears to be all soaring. I don't see any wing flapping.

That's really cool! I highly doubt it's a full-sized GoPro though.

Probably an improved version of the mini cameras used in this video:

Search YouTube for BBC Earthflight. Best air to air photography ever. Lots of formation flying with an ultralight for HD slo-mo stuff but also some onboard footage from eagles over the Grand Canyon to Andean Condors over (where else??) the Andes

Look for the full episodes that are nearly an hour long. Good stuff. =D>
