    Pre-release footage from GoPro Quadcopter

    Makes me wonder if this is why they sabotaged their video port in their last firmware update.

    Oh great... is this true? (registration)

    Better yet, we can build something to fly it in.........

    Correct. I guess I meant hobbyists like me that are aspiring to be commercial videographers one day, that really have no interest in racing.

    I'd be willing to bet the AMA pushes for only registering birds with a GPS since those are the ones causing all of the problems. This would protect their core base of hobbyists that fly traditional fixed wing and also their new revenue stream of FPV racing drones. One of the most popular FPV...

    Most would drown if you left them outside standing in the rain unsupervised.

    APM wobble in the wind.

    So then it flies to that point at the same altitude it is already at?

    APM wobble in the wind.

    I've never filmed while running a WP mission, but as it moved from point A to point B it looked pretty smooth. I'll do some tests and report back.

    APM wobble in the wind.

    But using it as a cable cam shouldn't be jerky at all. I use mavlink to set waypoints and such but being able to place the bird where you want it and set that exact waypoint would be a huge time saver. Imagine you get to a new shoot. You figure out how you want to do a shot, fly the bird to...

    APM wobble in the wind.

    Actually that's an unlisted feature. Occasionally they fly back to China for FW upgrade and tweaking!

    APM wobble in the wind.

    Seems like a very handy tool on the inspire. You take it to where you want to start the shot, set waypoint, then take it to the end and set waypoint. Bring it back, hit go and concentrate on gimbal operation. Hopefully it will be added as a feature with us soon.

    APM wobble in the wind.

    Will do. I need to learn about fences eventually. Hey, while I have an APM/Pixbrain expert handy......do you know of any way to set waypoints while in flight? Like the new DJI Inspire software will do. You put the bird in a certain spot, click set waypoint, then put it in another spot and click...

    APM wobble in the wind.

    Not unless there is a default one already set. I haven't studied up on how to set fences yet so I haven't set any unless by accident.

    APM wobble in the wind.

    It is pretty extreme. Imagine yanking back on forth 2 or 3 times on your aileron stick as fast as you can with no expo in it. It is extreme enough to make me pucker.:eek: I know what you mean about wind velocity being higher and different at higher altitudes. I learned that lesson the hard way...

    APM wobble in the wind.

    I am using a micro-apm FC on my S500 quad. Today while filming in 10-ish mph winds while in Position Hold my quad did some jerky wobbles at around 100 feet. It did it during a gust and it kind of felt like a mini VRS, but I was not descending. It was in Position Hold (a GPS Loiter mode) and I'm...

    GH3/4 Lenses

    I've been looking hard at all of those. I've noticed Rokinon makes a few MFT lenses as well. Is the main reason you are using the Metabones is that it opens up a larger variety of lenses for you? Was that Slash at the beginning?

    GH3/4 Lenses

    For those of you toting a GH3 or GH4, what lens(es) do you fly the most? Why? What are your favorites for filming on the ground?

    Why aren't there any smaller X8s?

    Amazing! What battery, F/C, flight time, etc?

    How does she fly?
