Phantom + GoPro

What a great camera platform. Yes I am learning to fly, yes I do crash, and I did not intend to fly it into the open sunroof.
But there are some ideas brewing for next years MOTD.

Thanks, I have big plans for that platform, if I learn to fly it before I destroy it.

Thanks Docv... got me hooked. Been flying for about 2 weeks now - sure crashed a few times but have used it at a couple of shows (I'm an audio engineer by trade) Did a quick promo for casino - still have to work on night shots w/GoPro. This was shot about 4 days into owning the addictive little ..... so was still a little shaky and night shot was in 30mph winds. GPS works great.

Sorry, but they are addictive, but so much fun. Did you see they had a major price drop. I have been spending about 1/2 hour a night flying. When flying at night powerlines are very, very hard to see.

Looking good guys. I've just got my Tri-copter up and running, and finally got the vibrations and jello effects out of the video. You can try some further vib dampening in your setups to reduce the jello you see in the video.

The other thing I've seen is to set the Go Pro in Narrow view mode. A little less 'fish-eye' effect that way. Glad the Phantom is working for you. I did a little more home brew approach.

This is how I am going to spend the money that MINI gives me back for my power steering pump. Wish me luck.
