Not so bad, congratulations on the nice soft cushy tree and bushes.

At least it wasn't 40' up a Fir tree like last time.

 That video is very stable. How is the GoPro mounted to the copter?

Yeah, could you post a photo of your mount. The video is very clear and stable.

@Scott - Thanks. I actually have one of those but haven't tried it as I wanted roll as well as tilt. So I found this one which looks similar but I've only done one video with it which seemed ok. I like it as it can take the GoPro in it's case and a slightly larger camera as well (which I haven't tried).

It's called an X-Cam and cost $99. You can see it in action in this video:

Nice. May have to check that one out. I am all about cheap in this hobby and love to find inexpensive things that work.
