I finally got around to editing and resizing a recent test video. This is one of our very few flying fields in hawaii.
AUW is around 12lbs with the video camera. Normally I shoot stills with a DSLR and whole rig weighs slightly under 13lbs. It flys great tho, and i am still getting used to the AP2000i. Its great finally having a slider to adjust gain. I had one of my old videographers come down to operate the camera mount. He has never done it before and was just playing around. For some reason, he kept pointing the camera at me :roll:
anyway, here is the vid:

The total flight was over 8 minutes, and we did two back to back flights. the slightly longer 2nd flight took only 2600mAh out of a 5350mah Lipo. I wish I could make the quality better, but imageevent is only 10mb max.
