Camera

[Cliff Chmiel]

Any body know anything about the go pro cameras, like to get one to film some flying, what to get?

Attached to the Heli itself Cliff or to film you flying? From my experience I find that using the GoPro to film you flying is a bit of a challenge. I tried the head mount with limited success. The GoPro doesn't provided a close enough view of the action. You might look for some of the video glasses or sun glasses. I have played with those and the video is not bad if you get a set that is HD.

Cheers

Thanks Alan, Im always alone when I fly, my friends say its to hot, so you tried the gopro with head mount, bummer I was hoping that would work, last night I seen camera system soloshot2, but has problems keep up with a plane or heli..

If you change the view it gets better. I think I have mine set on medium.

I use the Mobius with the magnetic base and hat visor mount. Works pretty well and it was way less than a gopro. I got the standard lens, I don't like the fish-eye gopro look.

As you can see in the background, I've got nobody to film me either...This was a few weeks ago and kind of came out okay. GoPro 3 White.

Go have fun!

Well not to bad for first one have ever done

Looks good! Nice flight!
For $80 it's hard to beat that video quality - just need more isolation from the tail boom.
