yeah, yeah, yeah scuba diving... but the bunny at the end! That was cool! :)

You have some catching up to do... there's a couple more videos out there with bunnies. :p
 
It's how Gombessa gets us all to watch the video to the end . . . we want to know what the bunny is doing!

Which reminds me, I need to get new bunny footage. Rodney has been a bit more shy and reclusive since Blueberry passed. It may be time to get him a new friend.
 
Amazing that you can get such good aerial footage with that little helicopter. My husband would love one of those. I assume the camera is include free of charge?

Think of the quadcopter hobby as scuba. Everything costs a bundle, and there's no such thing as free :)

It's actually the same GoPro Hero 3 that I used for the dive video. There are a couple of copters that come with cameras built in for video and real-time first-person flying, but most things are a la carte.
 
That is the nature of R/C, and why I quit doing it. My last one involved not just a lot of money, but about 9 months of working on it every evening for several hours. I tried to get one too many flights out of the battery pack one day, and ended up carrying the pieces home in a bucket. I decided diving was a much less expensive (and stressful) pastime.

RIP Blueberry Sorry I didn't hear about that till now. Did you put together a memorial video?
 
Yikes! It looks like you are one wind gust, radio drop-out or other failure away from an expensive helicopter saltwater bath.

Yeah. The gear nowadays is pretty advanced - GPS/compass/gyro stabilized, return-to-home on transmitter failure, but electricity is electricity, mechanical parts fail and mother nature pretty much laughs at anything you can put together. I figure I could lose the entire rig every time I go out, just so long as nobody gets hurt if it happens!

Thanks a lot Ben. I have a lot of footage over the years but haven't put anything together - my favorite video of her is this one. We do have a memorial tree in the backyard with a little bronze plaque in her honor.
