EasyStar #5 : FPV at night with some long exposure photos of the nav lights.
Loading...
Uploaded by carlosthecactus on Oct 20, 2010
We went flying at night on the moor to get a first look at the city lights from above. It went quite well and was good fun, though the camera can does not capture the scene as bright as we could see with our eyes. After some flying around we set up Ken's Canon A620 is the CHDK firmware mod ( http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK ) to get some long exposure shots of the plane with the navigation lights on, these came out really well I think.
The video shows just a few of the breakups I am currently getting, I think I need to look cleaning up the wiring, which is quite frankly a bit of a rat's nest at the moment. Also I should think about getting a diversity setup as I'm still on a single video RX with the 3dBi rubberducky antenna.

@carlosthecactus I recommend a tracking antenna is the way to go if you want to eliminate break ups. Good video... into the wild black yonder!

@petleh82 Thanks! :D
It was good fun making it, though a little nerve racking at first.
I am getting quite a few breakups on my video, I want to get them sorted out so I can try it again but a bit higher so we get a better view of the city. Also we have Bonfire night with fireworkds on November 5th, I'd quite like to get some video of the fireworks over the city from high up :D
