Countryfile FPV thing

[Balders]

Anyone see the Gaui 330 and flying wing on Country File? 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01bf4qy/Countryfile_22_01_2012/

about 16 mins in, tracking badger runs.  Funny thing is the pilot is clearly seen flying on the goggles without a spotter (unless they are off camera the entire piece!)  Not even particularly good footage...I've had better results with my cheapo setup.  Cutting edge tech my arse!

Thanks for posting, i heard about this but missed it.

Noticed he is using EZOSD. 

[Balders]

yeah without GPS lock

Wonder if he even has the appropriate CAA license for aerial "work"?

[Ratty]

Do you need the CAA cert if youre doing the "work" for free?

You would think with it being cutting edge that he would have been using somethign better than rubber ducky antennas

The video TX looks like 500 mw?

[mark1975]

500mw immersion for sure on the vtx 5.8g id say

[MrBen]

looked like a VC450 frame to me (slightly bigger and stronger) but based on the GU frame, I have 4 VC450 frames I recognize em!

and on the topic, the postman brought me a new prototype fpv frame from the same guy this morning!

Nice to see our hobby actually being of use for something, unlike some other completely pointless hobbies
