Woah, how high does that helicopter thing go?

The limit in the software is set at 400ft.

Drones that are under 20kg can fly in normal airspace for private use so long as the operator isn't planning to use data or images from the flight acquired by flying close to people or objects. UAVs have to remain 150m from congested events or large assemblies, 50m from a person or building, and within line of sight, which is 500m horizontally and 400ft (122m) vertically. Flights beyond this can be permitted but the operators need to show they can fly the plane safely. Live-streaming from the UAV to the pilot is not considered a good enough measure by the CAA to allow drones to be flown beyond line of sight.

Anyone who is using a drone under 20kg for commercial purposes has to be licensed to ensure that they are sufficiently trained to fly the plane and have the appropriate insurance in place.

So yeh.... seems like what im doing is against CAA rules...

On the go pro there are 3 levels of zoom/cropping, in the settings. Not tried them yet but id suggest thats the easiest way. May cause a little extra shake on the clips though depends how well theyve set it up.

I was thinking these clips are going to be really far when you were filming. Even a car in front on the motorqay looks miles off when its in full wide mode.

I can bring my ipad and iphone to pugfest if you want to try and use them to get a bit better framing.

I have got my nexus 5 but there is a 5 second delay on the feed. There is a phone holder for the remote so i may try and use that as then it will be mounted onto the remote. I need to look into those settings though. EDIT: Just done some more research and the gopro wifi and quadcopter transmitter wifi apparently run on the same frequency and should not be used at the same time! This has resulted in many quads just flying away and being lost. D:

Brilliant snaps there SRowell. Thanks for the cheeky shots of the Cuore! .
Gonna nick a couple if thats ok .

oops...Definitely logged in on steves by mistake haha... Yeh thanks for the pics SROWELL
