Here is a shot of the GoPro mount:

Ha, thanks Rehost. I haven't given up on this project yet, I'll be posting some updates soon.

This looks great! Are you using brushless motors or servos? I would love to get this kind of results on my front mount rig. Can I find out more about your setup? Sweet looking house, btw. Edit: Just went to the youtube and saw the description, awesome thanks for sharing this!

Here's a vimeo version in case the youtube one is blocked.

Crash report. From ~15m up, 20kph at impact. No major damage, two broken arms, all the props, one of the tilt sockets and control horns came off of the waterproof housing but it protected the gopro. Going through the logs now trying to figure what the hell happened. Oh well, time to rebuild...

Shorter more higher def'er version

Thanks hexa. I'm excited to really get it dialed in with MkII and use the hell out of it when the weather warms up!

20F today and all my fasteners are tight! Plenty of room for improvement, but $75 and a bunch of work gave me the gimbal I've been looking for. 960p wide shows a hint of the left prop, I'll have to make a small adjustment.

Thanks hjls3, Next video will be a more real world application for this rig- 3 meters high and 25 kph following a mountain bike. Sorry this one was so dull, I just needed to keep my momentum going and get something in the can : ) I'll be back with more video soon! The cap mount is a good idea.

Here's some footage of the first test flight. Mostly a bust due to a small oversight on my part, I left a loose component on part of the gimbal assembly after doing some adjustments late the night before : / I also tested a head cam rig with one of my old GoPros, this ends up being the main...

Thanks kloner, That's a good point. I'll see how it works while I'm doing a bunch of short range testing getting everything flying right. I had the idea that the shadowing might actually be useful to prevent interference with the other radios on board(2.4ghz Rx, GPS Rx, and 900mhz data/telem...

Thanks, SMP! I'm really stoked to get this up in the air and see how the footage looks. I'll definitely post it up.

I aborted my maiden flight due to it being cold as f... out! So I'd rather sit in front of the computer with a beer and describe this contraption a bit, then spend some time fine tuning the PIDs on the test stand. What you're seeing is just a rough sketch, so please don't pick it apart. There...

Getting this thing dialed in. Some slop in the roll due to the cheap servos, I should be able to eliminate that. I've invested only $75 in this thing ; ) Working really well overall. I'll take a maiden flight tomorrow and get some footage.
