Broadcast RF supplied a HD Helicopter Downlink for Iron Maidens Headline Slot at Download Festival 2013 this Saturday 15th June. Renowned for their live performances, Iron Maiden took to the Main Stage at Download Festival for the third time since their first headline performance in 2003, and were introduced by a Spitfire flying over the crowd. Footage of the Spitfire's flyover, which features live pictures from the helicopter, can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35S2lcNuDeo&sns=em
The downlink system was deployed to capture the stunning scenes from a birds eye view as over 100,000 people filled Donington Park. Further aerial coverage can be found on the Download Festival YouTube Page: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56xwjyotF8I&feature=youtu.be
The other two headline acts over the weekend were Iowa's most reputable heavy metal band Slipknot, and Berlin's famous metal enthusiasts Rammstein.
38 years since their formation, Iron Maiden proved that they are still more than capable of putting on a breath-taking show, and Broadcast RF were there to capture it all from an angle that has never been seen before at Download.
