Got to say that helicopter had be a little worried, was watching him on the map and in the air during a 20 min hyperlapse. I was at about 270 feet and was debating descending until I saw more of the trajectory with the air sense.

I do wonder how high he was...I think maybe 700 feet.

Was in CO Springs a week ago at Garden of Gods. Was not flying at the time, but two BlackHawk Army Choppers came buzzing by. May have been at 600 feet, but did seem lower. Always on high alert when "manned aircraft" message starts happening. Got one when flying at Union Station in Denver, but never saw anything close by. I was maybe 200 feet up max anyway.

That's the problem with high altitude hyperlapses around relatively flat terrain. You're a hazard to navigation for a long period of time. You have to keep your eye's and EARS open.
 
You captured some good stuff there. How far, laterally, was the chopper from you?
 
Very nice!
