Not a bad price there Mongrel.

I used to have the GoPro 1, and it takes a great video!

Yep! I still have one on my Z2. I figured if it goes in, I would rather lose a cheaper HD1 than a HD2.

I took one of this lot for a second camera for my multi-rotors. So IF my Z does go in, at least now I have a spare. LOL!!

I have both the Hero and Hero 2. The Hero 2 is far better, however at this lower price, it is an excellent buy. If I didn't already have a Hero, I would buy one as a spare unit to my Hero 2.

Mongrel , if i hadn't just lost my job at the beginning of the week (after 14 years, he kept an apprentice he just put on and gets him for free for a year).
I would get a spare off you , for my quad im building soon( ill have the time for it i spose)

Thems the breaks , good price though.
Cheers

Oh man - Sorry to hear that mate. That sux!!

Managed a single FPV flight today with my Black SW 1900mm.

That pesky Eagle was in the area again.....this time I got him on camera.
No damage from the Eagle this time, just a little bit of dust left behind on the wing from his feathers.

I did have an aileron servo let go today though. Managed to get home and land safe with a heap of rudder.

Enjoy the video.

Skywalker versus Eagle - Round 2 (0 min 41 sec)

Got out this morning for an early morning fly. It was 1 degree C when I arrived at a very wet paddock. There was absolutely no wind at all.
A perfect morning.

Great photos mate.

1deg.
I'm a Queenslander, we don't do cold.

Thanks cautious32. Yeh, thats a bit cold for a West Aussie too, but I am happy to brave it for flying or fishing. Not much else!

Yeah we do. I was out flying in sub 20c weather a few weeks ago

FPV ship No. 3 successfully maidened this week Skywalker

Weather was not the best (windy) but RVOSD fly by wire can make a pilot out out of anyone. I was pulling 30 amps for about 20kph over the ground then RTH gliding at 85.
