I was trying out my GoPro2 and my 3DR Quad-C (APM 2.5) / ArduCopter v2.8.1 and thought the images were worth sharing, it was a beautiful day and a beautiful place.
You can do live streaming with the GoPros.. the GoPro 2 has a audo jack on the site while the Hero 3 uses a 10pin USB which a few of those extra pins are the composite video output. I haven't built my cable yet but plan to.. you can buy a cable.. FPVhobby.com sells them it looks like.
I don't have the live stream yet, this was ground based flying and looking up in the air. HD video recording on memory card in the camera of course. I am working on expanding to FPV which adds a whole other dimension.
Dany, it took a leap of faith, I must admit. But if I say that ArduCopter is a very good platform, then I must also have faith in it and try these things. Besides, a lot of water in the Netherlands, lol.
I was very happy everything went well! It builds more confidence in the platform.
Very beautiful indeed but it really makes me quite uncomfortable watching you flying over so much water and land! Well done, and again a beautiful place.

By the way, this was not all on 1 battery.
