Crashing eye in the sky

It was already past 19:00 so I was in a hurry to get the camera in the air because I wanted to shoot some footage with the sun still shining bright. Maybe I should have done some flights to get comfortable with the controls again before flying with the camera because I crashed twice. The combined forces of the wind and the swinging camera made it very hard to control the helicopter. I am, however, very pleased with the image quality. The first video below was captured at 59.94 FPS and played back at 29.97. The second video ends in a bladestrike quickly followed by an inevitable crash. Enjoy, and make sure you watch it in HD!

Thanks! I used an E Sky Big Lama RC helicopter and a GoPro Hero HD camera. I am currently practicing with my new helicopter, the E Sky Belt CP V2. As soon as I feel comfortable flying it I will make a new video.

The E Sky belt cp V2 is great, and I hope to fly with the camera attached to it soon. The helicopter is a lot harder to control than the Big Lama though, so I am not yet comfortable flying it with the camera. Need more practice, hope the weather will allow me to..
