Man I love this thing! Super rock steady and fun to fly. I moved the GoPro to an underside mount facing forward so not to get the props in the shot.

Phil,
I balanced the props of course. Then I slid the battery to the aft most position possible to try and offset my homemade GoPro mount. It was still a little nose heavy as far as balance goes but flew as shown above.
Adam, did you adjust the balance any? Did you move the battery. I'm still building my 3DR quad and waiting for APM 2.
Keith, you can post the logs into on of the release discussions, and we may be able to help.
Nice video!
I did my maiden Sunday morning and it didn't go very well. I'm trying to understand the recorded log file to see what happened.
Way to go Adam! Hot glue and tape is all you need. Who needs those thousand dollar camera mounts. Btw, love the music in your video.
I'm using a HD GoPro (not newest model) and a down and dirty mount I made out of coroplast sign material. The material is very light and with 2 glued together, it's actually fairly rigid yet flexes enough to allow for vibration. I cut 2 strips and glued them together, mounted a 3M GoPro mount to the bottom and temporarily affixed the mount to the front of the copter. Here are a few pics. I plan to make a more permanant mount after further testing.
Looks pretty stable with no jello effect! Mind sharing more about your setup? What camera mount are you using?
