Hey guys, went for a fly the other day and took my go pro up to try a couple of new camera angles. annoyingly it has a scratch on the lens, but still got a few nice shots including some of whales you might like

Thanks for posting. Enjoyed it. Some neat perspectives.

I could watch those waves break for hours, but I'd be tempted to do it from about 50 feet!

haha yes well I would never do a thing like that, its strictly forbidden over here and in no circumstance can it be legal

Righto. Not that I would ever suggest breaking any rules, nor publishing the film if one inadvertently did.

Neat craft, neat terrain, and neat camera angles.

Nice video! I enjoyed watching that. Were anything but coastal here being high desert, so i'm envious of where you get to fly.

dont worry mate! most of my flying is done over endless red desert! this is just when im back home!

I know that strip well, g'day Tim, nice aspects. Fancy seeing you on here! Sold the motorglider and got into a Maule M5 235, have to catch up soon. This bloke set a record for Guinness for the most take offs and landings in a day while raising money for a charity.

theres only one bloke that could be! Gday john! and I heard, not sure if I like you anymore! I'm way to jelous! you where flying over mine the other day, I'm convinced just to rub it in with a nerny nerny ner ner being the friendly neighbour you are, I hope you relies it will be a pre requisite to take me for a spin! you will have to come for a burn in the drifter one day to mate. How is the maule going? have you relised its your one true love yet?

Hahaha, give me a call next time your back and we'll tee up a meet.

Nice video. I keep thinking a Drifter,Kolb Firestar, or a Moyes Dragonfly would be pretty neat planes to fly around local.

Cool video. Nice weather and scenery.

I'd suggest changing your GoPro to 16:9 aspect ratio for nice wide screen format, and to take advantage of the popular video hosts like Youtube and Vimeo. I think their encoders are optimized for 16:9. You may also be cropping field of view by not using 16:9.

see now hear is clearly a man who knows more about go pros than just strapping it to a plane, hitting record and making his girlfriend watch endless videos of flying!

how do i do that? its a hero 2. Also do you know if you can get a go pro lens fixed or replaced?

Watch this video at the time that I specified in the URL (3:26): http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... BPXM#t=206

I'd say choose 1080p 30fps for max image quality. Depending on the graphics power of your computer you use for editing, it may choke on that a bit. I imagine many computer upgrades in the last few years have been precipitated by the need to edit HD video from these little cameras.

As for the lens... good question. I have no idea. If GoPro will repair it, the cost and shipping would probably make you consider just upgrading the camera to their next latest and greatest model.
