For anyone who berths at port solent you may like this video. Filmed during the weekend on a very calm morning then edited last night - you don't get many days like this :encouragement:

Watched them dig it out when I was visiting Westerly, that was a few years ago now.

I use GoPro studio - it's free - the camera is a gopro black edition, I used a DJI phantom 2 drone with a gimbal to self level the camera

I enjoyed that, thanks. How do you know if you're going out of range? I know that they have a 'home' function when the batteries go flat but have often wondered.

Excellent vid. Could you fly though the lock at free flow? That would be really cool.

Yes you are spot on, before I fly the drone I calibrate the return to home position based on the take off location. If it looses signal it automatically increases height to at least 50metres then it starts to fly back. It will then slowly descend and actually lands by itself within 2 metres of the take off position - you can take back control when it is closer. The range is 1000metres - I use a small tv style screen to see the footage live - also on the screen it shows me live information such as the height, distance away from me, speed, battery duration, degrees to come back to me etc.

I will see what I can do and yes I could easily
- the other week I flew under the bridge at marlow on the Thames. Slight issue was I forgot to press the record button.. Doh

Are you still tempted now http://www.quadcopters.co.uk/dji-phantom-2-fpv-edition-with-zenmuse-h3-3d-gimbal-1249-p.asp this doesn't include everything - add another £400 onto this for the camera and live on screen data feed information

I already have a GoPro, but quite liked the idea of the Vision 2 with its easy change batteries and integral camera, but I really don't need two 'action' cameras.
Early days, but I'd like a Phantom with a gimbal, easy change batteries and the controller that holds an iPhone.
More research needed

The camera gimbal on the phantom 2 gopro version is far better than the vision. All the good videos on YouTube are filmed using a phantom 2 with a gopro.. Just sayin ;-)

Brilliant. I think a fly through the look and along the fairway towards the Oyster Quay flats at the end would look great. And maybe some slightly lower altitude shots of the moored boats too?

Hi James, much admiration for this video and the time taken to film this.
Maybe we can sort a time out on our boats and get some real good footage of us all, I'd also invite a few friends if there interested , then we could all benefit from some good cruising coverage. Cheers.
