My aim was to build something that I could capture the canals with from height to get a different perspective. I built and crashed a few and got some good footage but not of the canals..... until now.
Today was a day off as I was full on pain mode from a few days of excess. It was not too busy first thing so I got the copter out and up she went.....
As with all my photos best click them to see them full resolution
I then tried to see how close I could get to the images that you are now seeing more and more of using Quadcopters for TV to get some decent shots. I need more practice but this will be a nice reminder of the first days of Spring later in the darker days of winter.

Excellent photography :)
How long can you keep it up before the batteries object?
Great stuff... very stable flying machine ....are you using Hero +
Wow Nev. Blogging has just gone up a level !!! Very impressive. After your time lapse, I've got myself a GoPro, but this is just brilliant.
We'll be at Fraley tomorrow if you fancy a pint
Good video Nev, very stable image and good music over..... I guess that all comes at a cost!!!
Excellent
Chris,
Its from the U2 Album 'Songs of Innocence' track 'Every breaking wave'. It is the album they released FOC so Apple Imovie lets me use it as I guess U2 put this album in the public domain.
Thanks Kevin, depends on how much thrust and movement you use - around 10-15 minutes.
Hi John, I am off fishing with a mate over in Nottingham tomorrow, not sure what time I'll get back but if it is at a reasonable time I might come and find you ! The Go Pro is a great bit of kit, plus if you have the waterproof case (I think it comes with all of them ?) You can use it for hull and rudder inspection - when the canal is clear of course !
Hi Andy, not on this copter - I used one on my scratch built copter.
Thanks Les.... it is not a cheap toy, but I have used it for work, and that scored me some brownie points !
