MJP Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 GoPro Hero 4 is out!!! £360. 4K at 30fps, 1080p at 120fps! http://shop.gopro.com/EMEA/hero4 Now here's the thing, combine with the DJI F550 Flamewheel kit and Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal . . . http://www.dji.com/product/flame-wheel-arf https://store.dji.com/product/f550-naza-m-v2-landing-gear-h3-3d Convert the F550 with the heavy lift kit and I think we're getting near pro grade here for fairly small money.

guzzi850m2 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 GoPro Hero 4: 499 US$ and 99 Cents, hell I didn't even knew that they still have 1 cents coins in the US anymore. Nice bit of kit you set up there MJP, I wonder how difficult those gyro choppers are to fly? It would be a bitch to crash it with all the video/photo kit on-board or it fly out of range and never to been seen again. I been playing around with cheap remote controlled aeroplanes and it always ended in tears. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhythmworx Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Wow! I never realized how small they are, that's impressive considering it's not much bigger than a box of Bryant and May matches. Damn you MJP, for making us lust for all these gadgets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhythmworx Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 There's one on the gopro website @ 2160p I'm interested in one of these especially after seeing it's size, and the cost of it is the same as a lens. It may force me to get back into outdoor pursuits again, which would be a good thing, it's been a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJP Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 I've been waiting until this version 4, the 1080p at 120 frames per second is incredible. You can stick this straight on a DJI Phantom Vision 2 with Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal. I reckon you can do the lot now for under a £1000. So you now have 4K at 30 frames per second or 1080p at 120fps that can do aerial, land action and diving. That's incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJP Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Attaching it to a plane looks interesting. With 120 frames per second in 1080p this will be astonishing. Very tempted with a Phantom Vision with Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal and a GoPro Hero 4. http://www.dji.com/product/phantom-2 http://www.eyeflying.com/latest-quadcopter-multi-rotor-products/dji-phantom-2-with-zenmuse-h3-3d-brushless-gimbal.html?gclid=CjwKEAjwqamhBRDeyKKuuYztxwQSJAA1luvGJ6tP0WeD9OrV-iyzotLyVW6C1gBZ-z4JrfzJqSHwtRoCSXHw_wcB Probably the easiest way.

rhythmworx Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 You've opened up a can of worms here, 1st I was just interested in just the GoPro, now I want a plane, £300 FPV glasses etc... Already downloaded Microsoft FSX to get practicing. Next I will want to mount some .22 turrets on it with tracer rounds and fly it by you for getting me into this unhealthy desire for equipment I'm missing out on. My whole day has been ruined. http://www.crashtesthobby.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goshawk Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Convert the F550 with the heavy lift kit and I think we're getting near pro grade here for fairly small money One of my cousins recently bought a second hand £800k+ Eurocopter Colibri . . . and he sucker attaches a GoPro to it's windshield when he's flying it around. Oh man . . . am i gonna p*ss him off now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man . . . am i gonna p*ss him off now! You know it would be much better if we started a gearhead commune in the jungle somewhere and pooled the equipment into a huge dry cabinet. Each of us could have a chalet with en-suite. Communal eating and jak-jak area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn you MJP, for making us lust for all these gadgets. Those GoPro's are getting extremely popular, there is a shop in Tukcom Pattaya that are literally filled with them and they also sell this gyro chopper thing. Yes they are very small and you can buy all sorts of mounts so you can strap it on your body or bike helmet be it motor or push bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
