Amazingly agile little flying machine~!!
Also, I think your work syncing the action up in-time with the music deserves praise, especially that little crashing montage! Really awesome work, friend :3

Re: Strapped a GoPro to my Quadcopter.
Oh~! Little question!! Whilst flying the quadcopter, are you able to see the live camera footage at all? Or are you manipulating it entirely from a ground-level vantage point?

Re: Strapped a GoPro to my Quadcopter.
I have a second camera below the GoPro at the same angle that's a repurposed security camera, that's transmitting at a lower resolution, but in real time. I'm wearing video goggles to see the feed, so I'm entirely flying in first person Here's a video of my smaller one, that's kinda the quality I'm getting live:Phantomboy wrote:Oh~! Little question!!

That's really cool
Do you get disoriented or dizzy at all? With all those movements I'm sure I wouldn't be able to take it...

Re: Strapped a GoPro to my Quadcopter.
I started out flying fixed wing aircrafts, and planes need some sort of forward momentum to stay in the air, so that kinda helped a little. I still faceplanted on my first flight because as I was descending, I was leaning more and more and more forward until I lost my balancebionicnacho wrote:That's really cool

But you get used to it... I prefer to sit while flying, some can even stand while doing that kind of stuff... it's all in your head

Awesome stuff. Drew, thank you so much for taking the time to do that.
