Jack M Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Awesome find! RC planes are my next hobby. I'm surprised the camera could be mounted so far forward on the plane. Of course, when I make this video, the soundtrack will be Kenny Loggins. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkaholic Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 RC helicopters work really well for actual filming of events since you can hover. <iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/26179832?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe> Ink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This R/C plane has a camera in the cockpit that transmits a live feed to the "pilot" on the ground. Plus it features Kenny Loggins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How hard would it be to use a helicopter/quadcopter to film someone carving? I've heard that RC helicopters are very hard to learn to fly - is that true for quadcopters too? Could one of those keep up with a carver? (Maybe the bigger question is: "Could the RC pilot fly a camera quadcopter and keep up with the person being filmed?")

John E Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 The GoPro technology is amazing. Someone with no skills can take technically astounding videos. However, the subject of most videos is interesting only to the person in the video. I have filmed myself and I doubt anybody would be interested in viewing them. This video is one of the exceptions. It is as close to a "bird's eye view" as one can get. Beautiful scenery from a perspective you could only get from an RC plane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
