I mounted a GoPro on the top of the mast, just below the rotor head and flew around today. There were winds up in the 10-15kts so I got a lot of hovering time in... The mic on the camera is not very good but it was a fun test...

Shawn, always love your Gyro videos. The mast camera perspective is great, seeing you in an open frame Gyro (Air Command). Especially where in this video we can appreciate the 'hover' with those gentle head winds. Flight dynamics of a gryo are 'back to basics' flying joy. It's no wonder Gyro's lay claim to being the 'motorbikes of the skies!' Gyro fliers do it in style! Keep posting, you're a 'legend' in the Gyro community for your videos, all the best from across the pond (UK). John.

You keep checking the camera as if you expect it to go through the prop. :) (buffering 1:14)

I was just making sure it wasn't vibrating in a down position... I was just making sure it was saying straight forward..

That's a sweet running rotor you've got there.

It's a great movie! It seems it's warm in your country:) Have you built this gyro by yourself?

Cool you right ^__^

One of the greatest camera angles I've seen in a gyro-copter flight. I keep telling myself ......one day.....

Great video Shawn. You had some nice wind at the ridge for some great hovering! Thanks for sharing.
