Yes, but how much does it cost to have the lens changed on the GoPro? And, have you honestly had any real use for all those frame rates? AND, how dumb is it to suggest that a camera is no good because it can only be used for the specific purpose for which it was designed?

I am trying to design a flotation landing device for my Phantom using a styrofoam cake dummy, but I need to know where the center of gravity is on my Phantom. Someone please tell me.

How do I go about posting an instructional video that my fellow Phantom pilots might find interesting?

Sounds as if you're on the right track Brad. I wish my kids and my grandkids and my greatgrandkids would take an interest and assist me, but they have better things to do. I look forward to seeing your Dad's video.

Thank you for your interest Ian. Posting videos is good advice, but although I have a GoPro 3 Black Edition camera, I can't get the proper conditions to use it on my Phantom. I live mostly on Social Security so you can imagine how long it has taken me to acquire my Phantom and my GoPro. I am...

Trouble is, sometimes she can get just TOO generous.

That's a good name Leo, but I want to indicate that the pilots are over the hill. I think that may attract more interest from seniors. Thanks for your input. I appreciate it.

Thanks EMCSQUAR. I hope we can get together sometime. My wife comes from Minnesota and is she glad we moved to southern California. You poor guys are sure getting screwed by Mother Nature.

Thank you for your reply Shrimpfarmer. If my project ever gets off the ground, so to speak, I think it can make a difference to a lot of seniors between lonliness and a way to be happy and productive in those so-called "Golden Years". Too many disabled seniors feel glued to a wheelchair and...

I am still looking for senior citizen would be quad pilots in the Homeland, California area so I am repeating my plea again. Ladies and/or Gentlemen, I am an 84 year old retired photographer living in Homeland, California. I am trying to start what I call the Over The Hill Multirotor...

There is no point in continuing our discussion since you apparently know such much more than I do and will only make me look inferior.

Bizarre not to fly in the wind? That makes no sense unless you ARE foolhardy. Exactly how do water bottles add a great deal of "windage" if there is no wind?
