Merry Christmas everybody!
We hope you're enjoying the holidays with your friends and families too. We've been running around like good little consumers, doing our part to "stimulate" the economy, but got time to play a little last weekend. Saturday in the car and heli, with video from both, then Sunday we played paintball again and got lots of good footage with the new wide-angle camera and Wheeler's standard GoPro Hero camera. I want to spend some time editing the paintball stuff together to keep it intense, and the car footage needs to be cut down some too, so for now, here's the heli footage and a couple others from around the webz...shots below as well. Enjoy!
Here's a new vidja I shot last weekend with the heli:
(yes it's raining...and quite windy)
Here's another, but not by me:

And finally, this one has been around the world a dozen times I know, but for anyone that has not seen it yet...

The heli vid is awesome. Did the camera affect the flight any? I didn't see a counterweight. BTW, wasn't it a Hero camera?
Thanks! It didn't throw the balance off that much, but I could notice the extra weight. I'm going to work on a lighter mount that will allow me to run the camera without the waterproof housing (in good weather) which should reduce a lot of the weight. And yes, it is the GoPro Hero Wide-Angle camera.
NICE HELI VID. I HAVE THE SAME COPTER AND CAM BUT CAN'T SEEM TO GET CLEAR SOUND. ON LO IT CAN'T BE HEARD AND ON HI IT'S NOTHING BUT NOISE. ANY ADVICE.
It probably has something to do with how it's mounted. I'm running the HUGE Trex 700 landing skids on mine, and I just put one of the GoPro sticky things on the downslope of the skid bracket. I'm running the mic sensitivity set to HI and the gasket in the housing. It was still quite loud, and I had to turn the audio down a lot when I edited the video.
Since you are using your heli as a camera paltform and advertizing with it (car in back ground) you might be able to write part of it, if not all off your taxes. Might want to check with you CPA.
THANKS KB. I THINK I GOT IT. I'LL BE UP TOMMOROW IN A 98 VETT, AND MY BUD IN A VR-4 TWIN, MAYBE WE'LL SEE YA. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL, A GOOD NIGHT.
Man! That video never gets old! I wish that they had showed some video of his feet. Bet he was doing some amazing stuff w/ the pedals.
Killer helicopter video by the way. Definitely need some Deals Gap sportbike footage next year with the choppah.
OK Darryl, who does that song in your heli vid and what is the name of the song?
Nevermind. Gotta love Shazam on the iPhone!
In case anyone else wants to know and doesn't have Shazam on the iPhone, (or similar) The song is "P-Funk is playing at my house" by DJ Riko, a remix of "Daft Punk is playing at my house".
