More good weather to test the FPV on my quad. I'm quite happy with the GoPro as both the recording and FPV camera. I just need to invest in a better mount with added roll stabilization. Also, as always the copter needs tuning. It has spontaneous wobbles that I need to figure out. I always dread the tuning process since some things seem to have no effect until they do. :P I have logs from the 4 flights I made in the video if anyone has some spare time and would like to look at them. Otherwise, enjoy.

In your next blog it would be nice to see your camera mount set up.  Both of your posted videos have been good.

@Robert, Thanks! I posted a couple of pictures of my rig in a previous blog post, but I'll be adding a few more one of these days with a bit more detail.

Nice video with not much of the jello / wobbles you see when the GoPro HD camera vibrates.  I still have a way to go to get the ideal mount for this camera.  But I still enjoy the photos and videos it returns.  Just curious as to what video settings you used.  I tend to see more wobble effects in 1080 30fps.
