Quadcopter amazingness
With the cancellation of the Lucerne launch due to water on the lakebed I just realized I haven't flown since Plaster Blaster in November '13!! That's a bummer, man. I'm not slacking, however, and just took receipt of an amazing DJI Phantom I RC quadcopter with GoPro Hero camera mount:
I flew it in my local park yesterday and, despite my lack of RC experience, I don't think I did too badly although this is designed to fly very easily (watch in full-screen, 1080p HD and stoke out!):
I'll definitely be shooting liftoffs from above with that combination if only I could find a high-power rocket launch...

sweet toy, how high can it fly? love the footage, so crisp!
I love how afraid everyone is of drones when rc choppers have been around forever. Huge threat, we're all homing to die!
You definitely need a gimbal if you plan on using the drone for aerial footage :) You will have smooth, stable shots no matter what your drone is doing. Also, for those who are just getting interested in drone technology, I recommend checking out this article about types of drones and their purposes. I found it on the web and you can check it out here: http://mydronelab.com/blog/types-of-drones.html
