Aerial Views of New Brunswick

It's amazing how smooth the videos coming from these drones are. They are so small that you'd figure they'd be pushed around considerably by even little eddies of wind.

I assume the cameras have image stabilizer technology, which will eliminate the vibration of the drone. (The drone is not like a kite that gets pushed all over the place by the wind.)

I figured that too, but I'm surprised it's enough to overcome what my mind thinks the drones would be subject to. I guess they are more stable than I think.
 
They're pretty stable. Think of the radio-controlled airplanes you played with as a kid. They didn't get blown around by wind (assuming you weren't flying them in a hurricane). The planes and helicopters designed to carry cameras are even more stable.
