    Thanks Ross! Yes, that was a somewhat low airliner lining up for approach to Logan airport in Boston, wish I could have tilted the cam up a bit to get a better shot when it was closer. You can actually see the Boston skyline just over the hills the CS6 is pointed at in that vid, or at least I...

    Tricopter Frame Kits?

    I've got one of the Turnigy Talon kits on the way, right now it should be somewhere between Hazelwood, MO and my house. I've seen one of these close up and it appears to be a very well designed and manufactured kit, especially for the price. What I really like about it is that it folds up easily...

    No, 2.7K is the next step up from 1440. Both 2.7K and 4K have Cinema and non Cinema modes though I'm not sure exactly what the differences are yet, still exploring the resolutions. You can adjust the framing of 1440 in Cineform by zooming in which gets rid of most of the distortion around the...

    AV130 with RSGS and not even setup for the GoPro, the settings were done with the Nex 5N mounted, I really should retune it for the lesser weight! Ken P.S. it is interesting to see how much the frame is moving in relation to the camera platform...

    Test flight, GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition @1440/48FPS using Protune setting, I'm bit amazed that Youtube didn't completely butcher it with their compression! Best viewed direct from Youtube in fullscreen mode at either 1080 or original resolution to get the full effect...

    I posted a raw 1080P 60 fps video to Youtube but their compression dulled it down quite a bit, doesn't look nearly as good as it does full size on my 22 inch monitor. I did the flight late in the day when I know that the older HD Hero would have been severely challenged by the shadows and...

    GoPro 3

    Preordered direct from GoPro on 10/17, received shipping notification on 10/30, arrived via UPS on 11/5. Yesterday while I was at Best Buy I noticed they have the Hero 3 in stock so if there's one nearby you might try there and save the wait time. Ken

    GoPro 3

    I made sure to get the 30mb/s card knowing the Hero 3 Black needs all the throughput it can get. I just did a 5 minute flight with it on the Cinestar forgetting to flip the video right side up again before taking off! Trying to watch it upside down gives me a headache, time to let the software...

    GoPro 3

    Too soon to tell, I've recorded a whopping 1:57 of video with it so far but what I've seen in that short time looks amazingly good! I'm going to charge up a battery for the Cinestar and mount it to the AV130 for a test flight. The layer lens for the older GoPros doesn't fit the Hero 3 so I'm a...

    Hero 3 has arrived! My Hero 3 black edition arrived late yesterday, by the time I charged the battery and got the hang of the setup menus it was too dark to do anything with it. Just a few minutes ago I gave it the first test flight strapped to the front of TBS Discovery #2 using the 1080P...
