Was the video's speed increased?
With the video running full-screen and hi-def, look around 1:07 or so and you'll see a bird fly through the camera field. Its flight path is choppy, as if frames are missing.

Some of the most popular drones are meant specifically as camera platforms, and are more about smoothness and simplicity. But otherwise they can be dang fast and maneuverable.
Oh man, put some lights on that and just imagine the UFO pranks you could pull.

UFO? Look no further! Start at 1 min.
I could imagine flying this thing at night and scaring the bejesus out of people

I was looking for some singing mailboxes. Probably no one will get that. It's ok, I got it

People have been flying aerobatic RC craft for years. Don't see so much new about this.
It's slightly different technology and therefore new. Panic is surely the only rational response.

Mostly impressed that the quadcopter could climb that fast. There are fast RC's out there, of course...
but I never expected that kind of performance out of a quadcopter!

I had the exact same thought, Tim. You must be a genius.

Don't think someone could control maneuvers that fast

They do.
There's stability assist gyros and special controller configurations, for things like the flips, and flying inverted (switches to reverse certain control inputs so you don't have to think about being inverted), but that's a hand flown flight. Takes a long time to get that good at it, though.
Pretty zippy little beast.
