Radian 2/21/2010 Frozen Lake Flyover (RC Passive FPV Aerial Video) - GoPro HD Hero Cam

Cool video! How did you mount the camera? Have you glued it?

@melas Thanks! I used the GoPro mount that came with the camera. I wrote up a little DIY on rcgroups(dot)com, search "Simple Effective GoPro HD Hero Parkzone Radian Mount". Youtube comments won't let me post a URL :(

@toobulous Thanks a lot! I found it:)

Sweet video!

Very Nice! I just subscribed:) I had an Easystar - all setup for live FPV - lost it the first time out, gone forever. I've just setup my P51 with a new camera and transmitter, so I guess we'll see what happens this time. I ordered the Go Pro HD today and can't wait to try it. You have Awesome Footage from over that lake, I will visiting a lake in November and hope to get anything close to how great your video is. Any problems flying the lipo battery in cold weather? Thanks, Don

@realtvnow I keep the batts in my pants pocket until ready to fly. No real issues I've seen yet in the cold, maybe about 5-10% less umph, but hard to say, as with the cooler air it makes more lift/thrust. I keep the flight a few minutes shorter to be safe(r)... I run about 20-22 mins on my 3s 2100mah packs in this colder weather. You'll love the camera, and good luck!

@toobulous Thanks for the advice, I will keep the batts down my pants (that sounds a bit perverted). I already traveled to the cold lake, but didn't take my radian. I thought the weather would be terrible, but it turned out to be good and I kicked myself in the ASS for not bringing it, oh well. Definitely bringing it next time...no matter what the weatherman says.

great videos, how did you mount the camera?

[toobulous]

@kualalumpar I mounted it at the CG location on top of the wing (and it is removable). I have a write-up on RCG.

Great quality from the camera. Was there any wind about?

I thought you were gonna hit the tree towards the beginning.

@cavking1 Almost no wind (probably <1-2 mph), it was really calm. This also helped get really nice reflections off the water.

Not sure I would... we saw lots of animal tracks though. Thankfully spring arrived and all the ice is gone!!
