I tried to add some photos but I think my gopro pictures are the wrong type of file. Maybe this will work, I have a link to a photo of my gaui 500x fpv setup for anyone that may be interested in getting into fpv flying.

Hi,
I have no problem uploading GoPro photo file here (img bellow). I use my Gopro for FPV and right now setup also OSD system. Found on youtube how to use Gopro as FPV cam with Live Feed video. On Gopro menu find LF (LFF = live feed off; LFO = on) and set LFO to enable that, so you don't need additional cam on board
. Also watch some guy that use video cable from cell phone, have same jack, so a little modification and in work. Here is how: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBzRRGBWcrw&feature=related

Did you convert to a jpeg file or is that what a gopro file is? Mine gave an error but I will try again later. Most quad flyers I talk to do not use the gopro for viewing because of letterbox format, field of view too wide and low light handling capability. The rmrc-540 seems to be a realistic field of view and fills the fat shark goggles screen. It also adjust to dark shadows quickly. It doesnt weigh much so I have never tried the gopro for viewing but I do have the cables. I will probably give it a shot on a plane later on because I wont be flying as low and close to things. I have the hero 2 but I notice it still does not handle shadows very well and things get dark. One other thing is I have the viewing camera straight ahead and the gopro with a little down angle in it. When the next firware comes out for gopro it will have more fov settings in the 720p 60 frame mode so that should make it more usable for a viewing camera. Do you use the gopro skeleton case to access the plugs?
My hitec radio had a feature to disable the throttle but I dont have that on my dx8 so I have to be more careful with it. The motors dont seem to do anything when throttle is off even if I pick it up but I always disconnect the battery first when I land. You cant be too careful with these type motors because they are very strong. Make sure throttle is off and quad is level and still when you connect the battery and it seems to fly better.
