      Because the equipment they use is super advanced and can zoom in super close with very high quality so with a drone and very advanced camera they can do great work. Technology is brilliant. It’s a shame people in other videos believe they faked shots due to their own ignorance. Not giving credit where’s it due because utilising the technology these guys have to this level of efficiency takes a lot of skill and patience.

      @@subifcommentisworthy2991 Not with a mobile phone but with high quality cameras here I’ll link you to some professional ones. Edit: Type in Nikon P900 Superzoom. Cameras similar to that can record from great distances. It’s also good quality. Google how far it can zoom. Downside is that it is expensive. Around £900. But they’re expensive for a reason. What they’re doing is not through magic but with the use of high quality equipment and patience. I barely needed to research to find that, so in reality they may be using different equipment in combination with techniques they learnt in their profession. I’m no expert.
