Chamonix local Guillaume Bocquet has been popping up on Youtube for his unique aerial Chamonix videos.
Guillaume built his first drone at the age of 12 and since then he has developed new drones with lightweight HD cameras built-in. At present his 'multicopter' is just a side project for the carpenter from Les Houches, but we are sure as his work develops he will soon be in the spotlight. Update: Guillaume has launched his unique filming services via Topview Shoot

This short video (without any sound before you start looking for the volume switch) catches some action from skaters and BMXers at the opening weekend of the Chamonix skatepark.
