EPIC FPV ! Red Rock Cliff Surfing in Southern Utah w/CRASHES - GoPro Hero2 & DragonLink UHF

On 11/11/11 I shot some incredible locations in Southern Utah with the GoPro 1 and 2 strapped to my remote control wing. Most of these were shot with the Hero 2. We had some really close proximity flying, and only two wipe-outs.

I had a few friends along for the trip who made it that much more enjoyable.

The rock formations in this video are indicative of what Southern Utah is like - a combination of bright red Navajo sandstone, bleached white Navajo sandstone, and lava rock peppered with green foliage. This combination creates some incredibly dramatic scenes.

Great vid, been sharing it around. Just wondering, what was the title of the song? thanks!

[toddsher2112]

@TheBlackKnob Song is "Francais" from ShockWaveSound. It's a stock audio file that I licensed and modified for this video.

Are you guys pros? This footage is awesome ... v neat job ;)

[toddsher2112]

@EuropaTube Being a pro suggests you're getting paid to do it, which I'm not. I do this for recreation. It's just about the most exciting thing you can do without putting your life on the line actually doing it in a squirrel suit, hang glider, or other flying contraption.

@toddsher2112 thanks =)

Awesome video! What was the cut of music you used?

[shockhelmet]

love the parts of the clip with no music :)

@toddsher2112 What sort of bureaucratic maneuvering do you have to accomplish in order to fly FPV in such wilderness regions?

@toddsher2112

While you were flying, did you have some type of real time camera so that you could see where you were flying via a video receiver? I know that the gopro camera either has a wireless receiver for the camera, or they soon will.
