What better way to capture this birdie in flight [with a GoPro Camera on board] than to use a second GoPro on a tripod set to record pictures or video. I plan to shoot pictures [interesting ones, I hope] versus videos, [there is a big difference in processing time] although I’ll get video footage also. I worked with the camera mounted on a helmet and decided against it because of blur due to my movement; however, it will work for video. Anyway, these imagines give you some idea of the potential.

So, there you have it. I have several picture modes from GoPro. I can use the single-shot mode [I press the shutter release]; the triple-shot mode[again, I press the shutter release]; or, a photo every “x” seconds, where I specify the frequency. My options are: every 2, 5, 10, 30, or 60 seconds. I will use the interval mode. I just have to determine the optimal frequency. I do not want to miss anything, nor do I want to be overburdened with picture processing. |

Having used my GoPro Tripod mount for the drone, I made my own for the second camera. Typically, I use the tripod with my iPhone to capture video at the end of an event. Maybe, I need another tripod… [then I’d have to use my iPod Touch to fly the drone. I have a lot of interesting possibilities. –jim
So, as your already minimal sleep time decreased since you started flying?

Sleep time is about the same–4 hrs. I nap when I can. The project is fun. Like cycling, it is more the information gained than the process. OTOH, wide open space would be cool–let her rip!
Thanks!
