Quadrotor + GoPro = Pretty

Amazing aerial cinematography with very inexpensive tools.  All shot in a single take with a GoPro Hero 720P at 60fps and a Quadrotor RC helicopter.  There's no excuse for not having great production values.  Now if only we could combine this with a great story...

I love these Quadrotors but which one?

Hi.

From looking at your clip, I take it that you changed the GoPro lens for a Sunex f2.8? I also reckon that you also shot it in HD as there is a slight horizontal ripple effect ... anyway, that's my oar well and truly 'in'. If you're shooting by the sea front then there is normally a far amount of wind .. you didn't use stablisation software did you?

I am using a Gaui 450X (except the 450X isn't made by Gaui - long story) and either an HDMax or a GoPro. I would be interested to learn what you guys are flying and how you mount your GoPro.

Thanks for the vid - nicely done.
