FPV with 300X
Is FPV possible with the 300? Or would I have to get into a 450? I would love to get into FPV and I'm wondering if the 300 would carry my GoPro 3 Black a small CCD Camera, transmitter and another battery supply?

what's the total weight of all your extra equipment?

Over 3 years ago I mounted 1080i Sony Bloggie with swivel lens on Blade 400, and made quite a few attempts to dampen the vibrations later. The general conclusions were:

would be surprised if it couldn't. Just don't expect it to fly well or long.

If you are thinking of spending the money and getting a 450x to do FPV, you might be better off getting a multirotor. Lot less vibration, almost done with balancing the props; you dont have a lot of mechanical going on to chase down a vibration- all you have is props on the motor; long flight times; with a good controller you can spend more time enjoying the view versus having to keep up with the helicopter. I have the DJI F450 with Naza with GPS and if things get to squirrely just let go of the sticks and it will hover, try doing that with a helicopter. Not saying you cannot have a good time doing FPV with a helicopter but there is a reason why a lot of people are using a multirotor. And you can see from this guy's video you can get a little crazy.

While everything you said is all true, Quads can't fly aerobatics with extended inverted (yet) and they cannot auto. While I enjoy flying quads, FPV helis have way more to offer if you want to get crazy with it. Plus, there is nothing quite like doing a nice smooth controlled decent with a heli, not something you can easliy pull off with a quad. I guess it depends what kind of flying you want to do, for low and slow and through the trees Quads all day, for ripping it up and doing aerobatics, helis can't be beat! I would not hesitate to use the 300X, but I would leave my GoPro at home and just keep it simple and record on the ground, just like this setup on my FPV Rave
