This is a defished version of the video:

'Bought this to complement my PAP top 80 - not for long XCs, but great fun for short flights. It has TONS of power. Probably pushing out 70-80kg. '
The new go pro Hero 2 shoots 170 degree field of view at 1080p. This has a fish eye effect (obviously). Sometime you want this, sometimes you don't.
To compare side by side, I've defished the footage using Adobe After effects.

Personally I like both for different footage. Here, I think the more film like ratio you get by defishing makes it more cinematic, but there is probably too much movement for it to really work here I think - it appears a bit artificial to the viewer I think? Defishing seems to work better with static shots, or shots where the majority of the action is contained in the middle third of the screen.

I built this for my preordered DJI Mavic - it combines a sunshade with FPV goggles effectively making a sort of hybrid viewer - I can see the iphone screen in strong sunlight easier, but also can get a perfect full screen FPV/goggle monocular view when I need it for exact camera positioning.

From Kinlochleven to Ben Nevis, March 2017.
Lots of snow still on top of the Ben - lovely clear air - visibility for 70 odd miles.

Friday afternoon off work. Got to Northrepps airfield and had a chat with Chris. Wind pretty gusty up to 15mph or so. I waited an hour and it seemed to have calmed down a bit, but it was still strong. Some kiting confirmed it was reversable. Of course... by the time I actually got kitted up and hooked in - it isn't any more and the wind has move 90 degrees!! so, unhook, re-attach for a forward and off I go. Weirdly after take off I immediately come back to earth again before hedge and just barely clear the hedge... by now at about 30 feet or so, and then loose it all over the plowed field. It was like my engine had no power, but it did (and was fine at 9500) - just some serious sink air. I was ready to land in the field, but it came out of it, and started climbing ok. pretty rough for a bit though. On to cromer and the wind was clearly playing funny buggers - over the pier I needed full power just to stop descending into the sea. So after going along a bit to east runton, I turned back to head home. Note : I changed from goproHD:1280x960 to goproHD:1980x1080 for the rearward leg - this was uploaded in 1080p so if you have a 1920x1080 monitor you can watch this at full 1080p and see the difference in quality - it's quite obvious around the detail of the town, caravans, etc. Anyhoo, wind had move around a bit back to where it had started by now, and was getting up in strength. I had to use full speed bar to make any sort of progress back the northrepps. When I switched to slower trim for landing (still kept it out more than usual - about 5) it took an eternity to come in the last 100 yards or so. But landed where I wanted to, just west of the runways.

First coastal ridge soaring flights today. First one, I couldn't find the lift, and landed on the beach. So I tried again, and got into it that time, but it was very westerly meaning I couldn't go very far - as I was more or less hovering facing west, and scooting along at 30mph when going east. But I spotted a pod of dolphins so when I landed I decided to try and find them and fly the drone over them - But before I found them, I found a wee baby dolphin beached on the sand - it was clearly knackered battling against the surf. So I waded in with it, and after a couple of attempts I _think_ it made itback out to sea (fingers crossed)
