Superman seen patrolling the skies over London, UK

Monday, August 31, 2015, 2:24 PM - Superman is the star of one of YouTube's latest viral videos. Barry Craig attached a plastic figurine of the Man of Steel to a camera drone and took it for a spin over Victoria Park in London. The end result is the stuff that memes are made of.

Despite being taped to the drone Superman appears shaky in the video, leading some to speculate the figurine was added in later.

But Craig, who is a professional re-toucher and drone enthusiast, has an explanation.

“The camera on a Phantom is attached to a gimbal, which stabilizes the footage," he says on Reddit.

"The Superman figure is attached to the landing gear so it isn’t being stabilized, the shaking around is the movement in the body of the aircraft.”

The footage was uploaded to YouTube on August 25. Since then, it's been viewed nearly 300,000 times.
