[Scan-DC] Video of one of my drones

You can get a ready to fly combo with GPS on Ebay for about $1,200. Just add a $100 gimbal and your Gopro.

Very neat, what did that set you back?  If you don't mind me asking?  I already have the GP H3.

  Yes. The gimbal eliminates the vibration and also allows me to tilt up and down. For left to right I just move (yaw) the Hexacopter left to right. As you can see in the video it was very windy that day and the gimbal compensated very well.

  So can you adjust the aim of the camera while it's in flight?  Can you control the camera itself while in flight?  

  I'm seeing some pretty interesting railfan applications here.  :)

    I do both. Record on the Gopro and transmit back down via 5.8ghz

    Is the video transmitted back live air-to-ground (if so what frequency?) or recorded and retrieved upon landing?
