"I don't own a go pro v3, but can't you replace the lens on it? I'm pretty sure a 1/2.5 IR lens will fit, something around a 2.8mm focal length should work great."
"Fantastic response SkyDrone, dealing with difficult individuals is a skill that takes much patience. Now, what about being able to send rc commands via LTE, and truly have an all-in-one unlimited range FPV platform?"

"Interesting...although in that form factor (small size) I'm wondering about flight times and payload capability. It would be interesting to see the Spiri "brain" be available separately for installation onto larger rigs with greater capabilities. "
