How Fast Can a Hummingbird Flap?

Gav and Dan use their slow mo footage to discover just how fast a hummingbird beats its wings.

When I was younger, I remember seeing something on TV about humming birds and how it was impossible to film the wings flapping with a camera because they couldn't film fast enough, now we have the technology to do it :D

I'm really really enjoying this new format! I get 2 slo mo vids on one subject, and I learn about the subject after seeing amazing footage!

The numbers I've always read about the speed of their flaps always have seemed outlandish to me but now I can see it with my own eyes. Amazing.

Hummingbirds are such amazing Little Birds

Hummingbirds are the only vertebrate that can fly backwards. I'm enjoying this series very much. <3

This is brilliant! Hummingbird slow-mo footage in time-lapse!

Humming birds have special tendons or muscles (I'm not sure which..possibly both)..that vibrate to create a resonance lift in the form of "flapping" the wings would disintegrate without these special adaptations in/on the wings that allow them to manouver like a u.f.o..true fact.
Awesome videos guys...be safe. ✌✌✌

Loving this new series, guys. Educational, remarkable, and hilarious! Keep it up!!

[avalanchesnow]

This actually gave me a lot of information on hummingbirds that i needed for my report lol

[Benzy]

That bird video is perhaps the most gorgeous video I’ve watched on this channel. The augur hawk flying to the perch made me think, “this is what people depict angel wings after.”

Thanks to YouTube originals, slow mo guys are uploading more frequently...
This video was 🤩😯

[dominikhaberstock]

Im just really impressed by that Litepanels Sola 12, absolutely flicker free! And still quiet enough to have talent stand right beside it!

You guys are the best thanks for amazing slow videos
