The filming of this chopper in flight has a frame rate that nearly matches the rotor speed making for seemingly amazing footage.

Wow, that was strange. Thanks, Ray.

Half way through the clip and my wife remarked to me that my mouth was open. I hadn't inhaled for a while either. Very surreal footage.

You cant help but expect it to be on its way to the crash site. Unreal footage.
all this did was crash my Internet Explorer!
Worked for others. Perhaps you need to do the old Microsoft repair for everything. Reboot.

After forcing IE to close, it ran. Very weird!
That heli must have an amazing RPM governor on it. It held rock solid, in all types of maneuvers and loads. I'll bet the RPM did not vary more than 2 RPM for the whole clip.
Amazing. I didn't think it was possible to get the RPM regulated so close.
Sometimes I wonder why I bother. You buy them books, teach them to read . . . . and they still chew on the covers. :-]

Lots of R/C helicopter videos work out like that. Not *quite* to that extreme, but it's not uncommon at all for the blades to look like they're only turning at a few RPMs.
