Blade 450 3D Heli with a GoPro HD camera onboard by Eric

[10tilldawn]

I just got back out to the field with my Blade 400. I put a Sony Bloggie on it last year for some basic flight. Good flying man. I actually do suck since I havent flown since last June.

[31evader]

Nice vid ima get one eventually

[odetohassell]

Eric, how much was this bird purchased for? I am a beginner and would like to learn to fly with a heli and a go pro cam much like you have done. I am a photographer and would like to take my work to the air. Any suggestions for a beginner heli that could handle a go pro cam? Thanks!!

[sambuka0]

Awesome video man, love the Blade 450. I own one and its a blast.

[clikonco]

Enjoyed your video! amazing stuff! Just a quick question, what did you use to mount the gopro to the heli? (question mainly directed toward how did you get rid of the vibrations if any from the heli) Thanks!

[mountaindewdude76]

This has gotten to be one of my favorite videos. Nice and casual, a little sport flying. Nothing real complex and yet not boring at the same time. Nice video!

[joehandsome99]

@mountaindewdude76 I really had fun making this video and glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and the comment.

[wristp1n]

how much does having the go pro attached hurt your flight times? What mAh is your battery? this vid is great quality! thinking about getting the go pro. nice flying!

[joehandsome99]

@wristp1n I still flew for 6 minutes with the gopro attached with no problems. I am using a turnigy 3S 11.1V 2200 mAh 30C lipo. Thanks for watching and the comment.

[robbie2737]

Love this Vid thanks for sharing...I'm only at the hover stages & some slow turns at 30 yards with the mcpx, but have my eye on the 450 for a couple of months now...This video has me sold...very nice flying! Thx again

[joehandsome99]

@robbie2737 I trained on the mcpx before this flight so keep it up and you will be there in no time. Thanks for watching.

[oswaldphilip]

Hey great flying. Inspires me to get out and fly today.

[joehandsome99]

@oswaldphilip Thanks!

[whatsdare]

caus i suck at flyin helicopters!

[joehandsome99]

@whatsdare I do! :)

[scinia24]

Very nice flying! I have recently just got into flying myself! Blade msr x and i love it! I am going to mcpx next, and then the blade 450! I cant wait until I get the level your at!

[joehandsome99]

@scinia24 The mcpx will definitely get you there. Thanks for watching.

[ANDREADEUSANIO]

Bravo!



[joehandsome99]

@ANDREADEUSANIO Thank you.

[kunsikl]

this is the skill that I really want to be at.. I can't even do with my mcpx yet... :)

[joehandsome99]

@kunsikl Keep working at it and you will. I used my mcpx as a trainer to fly the blade 450 and it did help tons.

[blackmennewstyle]

Very niice ! Magnifiiiiiiiiiique ! :)

Thank you for this flight !

[joehandsome99]

@blackmennewstyle Thank you for watching and the great comment.

[HX3D014]

If you look real close at 0:01 you can see the string ;)

Well Done, I see you are Progressing Nicely.

[the1997beast]

nice thats the by far bet onboard helicopter video ive seen all the others weren't nearly as stable

[joehandsome99]

@the1997beast The video turned out really well. Thanks for watching.

[startazz]

Great flying Eric and you don't suck at flying heli's any more mate.even though i never thought you did ;-) most of us RC boys know how hard it really is to fly a Helicopter good and you can.

[joehandsome99]

@startazz Thanks Ian. I appreciate it.

[TinkerManRC]

Eric

Great video I really enjoyed this.. Lots of fun..Thumbs up from the tink..

[joehandsome99]

@TinkerManRC Thanks! This flight was a blast.

[WildBobsRC]

Very nice Eric! Looks like you been flying heli's for years,lol, good job, keep it up.

[xoxbamfan]

Nice flying sir, just out of curiosity, how hard is a helli like that to fly compared to flying acrobatic planes....thank

[16FEET]

Excellent flying !

[1970muis]

wow that was great flying did you do that by your self lol :)

[markphillips04]

I can see my house!

[joehandsome99]

@markphillips04 I see mine too!

[youtwoba]

Looking good Eric, I need to try this with my gopro :0)

[joehandsome99]

@youtwoba Thanks Tom. I am finally getting comfortable flying helis now. Flying the blade mcpx has helped me out greatly this summer. I'm really proud of this flight. It took me a long time to get to this level. You will love the GoPro on your heli. The original HD video of this flight has awesome details. Thanks for watching!

[stalyoni]

Very nice flying eric. Im impressed mate. I just started doing flips and some inverted with my mcpx. I might give it a brushless upgrade soon. Keep up the great flying mate.

[joehandsome99]

@stalyoni I can honestly say that my heli skills have improved greatly from flying the Blade mcpx this summer. I learned so much from being able to take chances with it and knowing I could hit throttle hold if I got in trouble and come out with little if any damage if I was flying over grass. Stick with it and you will be there in no time. Thanks for watching.

[WORRO01]

Awesome stuff Eric!

Thumbs UP~~John

[joehandsome99]

@WORRO01 Thanks for watching and the comment John. It is appreciated.

[hamsterwing]

Good video :)

[joehandsome99]

@hamsterwing Thanks Hamsterwing!

[OCDRC]

you cheater! you weren't even flying it!

[joehandsome99]

@OCDRC Dang, I'm busted. The heli fairy was on my shoulder flying the whole time and you caught it. Don't tell anyone else, k?

[MFalclon215]

Good stuff little buddy!!!

[joehandsome99]

@MFalclon215 Thanks kindly Manny. It's been total fun flying the heli this week.

[Raptor50aus]

That proves to me the Blade 450 3D is does more than enough for my flying skill

I was going to wait for the 450X flybarless but why bother now.

great video !

[joehandsome99]

@Raptor50aus I really like the blade 450 3D, but I think I will still get the Blade X. It looks like it will be a blast. Thanks for watching and the comment.

[stevetinyhallman]

Great video.

[joehandsome99]

@stevetinyhallman Thanks Steve. 

[NightFlyyer]

Pretty good flying Eric. Are you using the new control system on it?  Thumbs up.

~NightFlyyer~

[joehandsome99]

@NightFlyyer Thanks very kindly for the compliment Dave. I really appreciate it. I am flying a stock Blade 450 3D using my DX8 and the intermediate skill level settings from the Spektrum community. It has been pure fun this past week.

[BlackbirdBen]

Freaking awesome!!! This has got to be withing your top 5 videos. The versatility and maneuverability of a helicopter paired with the thrills and fun of a HERO camera, sure makes for a mind blowing video! Fun to watch!

[joehandsome99]

@BlackbirdBen Yeah, I think I've watched 100 times myself! lol... Thanks for watching and the great comment.

[rdsl05]

Very, very, very nice video eric!!! You're getting really good at helis too!!!

[joehandsome99]

@rdsl05 It's taken a while, but with some patience and lots of training it is starting to pay off. Thanks for watching.

[treelizard99]

MAN what speeds were ya getin from that helicopter ???!!!

[joehandsome99]

@treelizard99 Not sure on the speed. I will have to use my radar gun next time to see.

[WILD4X4D]

okay i love flying, but hate flying in helicopters, this was so realistic; when he took off, my heart went in my throat, and i almost threw up.

[joehandsome99]

@WILD4X4D That was too cool. Just popped into my mind right before take off. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[georgesjunglerc]

Hi Eric! Wow! Great flying bud! The video was flawless and the flying was exciting. Great display of solid heli skillz! Excellent job. Thanks for sharing and as always, happy flying friend.

[joehandsome99]

@georgesjunglerc Thanks George, but your vids are the best. Keep on flying my friend.

[tntneon]

Pretty day and some pretty good flying. Be blessed

[joehandsome99]

@tntneon Glad you enjoyed the video and keep on flying!

[willnate35]

SWEET. Great footage and flight. 

[joehandsome99]

@willnate35 Thanks for watching!

[vmhorne]

Awesome clip at the end! HAHAHAHAHA!

[joehandsome99]

@vmhorne Thanks HD!

[vmhorne]

NICE ONE Eric! I would never have thought of trying the GoPro to the Blade 450! Great application! TWO THUMBS UP!!!!

[joehandsome99]

@vmhorne A great heli pilot and friend showed me the way!

[vanhuran]

That was really cool i'm gonna get one of those

[joehandsome99]

@vanhuran That's great!

[BroBryceFX]

Dang! That was awesome! (cept the motor was REALLY loud) Made me have to look away a few times. Totally a classic moment in that last clip! That was funny!

[joehandsome99]

@BroBryceFX I decided to keep the motor noise up as people like to hear it in the video. Thanks for watching. The ending fit perfectly!

[BunnyHairedKid]

wow that was amazing

[joehandsome99]

@BunnyHairedKid Thanks, it was fun!

[matticous10]

Great stuff!! That was a great precision flight Eric. Keep it up. :-)

[joehandsome99]

@matticous10 Thanks kindly for watching and the comment.

[theexpertrcpilot]

Hey Eric, do you see that little tab from the canopy that is resting below your front skid support? Well that little "tab" is actually supposed to go between the support and the frame, and between the two screws. It helps keep the canopy vibration down as well as making sure the canopy stays centered; for example, your canopy is a little to the right. Overall a good flight!

[joehandsome99]

@theexpertrcpilot I'm 50/50 on getting that right. lol. thanks for watching.

[burghoorn]

Wow, very good footage ! I like the text comments, made it nice to watch. Thanx for sharing.

[joehandsome99]

@burghoorn I thought it would help knowing what the maneuvers were. Thanks for watching.

[RuakenDiilutar]

Very nice

[joehandsome99]

@RuakenDiilutar Thanks!

[ramis182]

Wow that's one awesome video, great flying, I enjoyed that!

[Omar142118]

[joehandsome99]

@Omar142118 Thanks!

[T4nm4y]

My current and only heli i am allowed to have, is crap! it was awesome (or so thought i). Now the charger just randomly stopped working and my my heli is on its last flight.... hardly got to use it! :'( just when i though i could start R\C hobby...

[T4nm4y]

WOW! Wish i had a 3D helicopter with those epic skills!

[joehandsome99]

@T4nm4y It took lots of patience and lots of crashes! lol.. Thanks for watching.

[96sunvalley]

Really nice video! Great flying.

[joehandsome99]

@96sunvalley Thanks kindly

[Blueberry954]

Haha thats awesome! What is the top speed of this thing? And does it have collective?

[p3x197]

@Blueberry954 Yes it does have collective. That's how it can hover inverted.

[joehandsome99]

@Blueberry954 Not sure on the speed and it has collective pitch. That's why I could hover inverted.

[TheBrushlessracer]

Ever thought of getting a trex or something?

[joehandsome99]

@TheBrushlessracer Yes, I have. Maybe you will see me flying one soon.

[TheRcTalents]

@joehandsome99 wow! Haha

[joehandsome99]

@TheRcTalents Thanks!
