A young Kiwi entrepreneur has melded with his machines in the name of getting the perfect shot.

George Moody runs a veritable squadron of drones all while keeping his feet firmly on the ground.

The 27-year-old uses them in his custom videography business.

He uses a hi-tech piece of headwear to become one with the drone and get his own bird's-eye view.

Seven Sharp went along to check out the impressive technology in the video above.
