    Not filmed from a drone. It was filmed from WLKY TV helicopter while it was circling, with gyro stabilized zoom lens.
    Version 2 has helmet cam video from tower crews

    WOW!!! Flying in between those guy wires that are only 120° apart from each other takes precise control of the sky crane. Improper use of the drone! It should be still. That background spinning distracts the viewer.

    I worked for (Weldwood of Canada) a Logging company on the Westcoast of British Columbia, Canada (Toba Inlet) in the late 80s laying out Heli blocks that were logged by an Air-Crane, lifting massive fir, cedar, spruce, hemlock, balsam logs off the steep
    side hills and water dropping the logs into the water of the inlet, had some pretty cool pictures of the Erickson Air-Crane in action

    Unrelated to the engineering, but the way the tower and the helicopter look like they're spinning/in motion past 6:20 is the same effect you see in lots of 'ufo' videos, and can give the illusion of huge speed and instant changes in direction when the object itself might be moving much slower, or even not moving at all.
