Very cool idea! Personally my GoPro head mount works pretty good... I would probably buy a 2nd GoPro before going this route

Looks like it could work at close range. Wonder what freq. it uses and if it would cause or be susceptible to interference. The size of the transmitter might be a limiting factor as well.

Someone should figure out how to make one of these on the cheap DIY

immersion RC do a tracking unit and I see no reason why you could just bolt a camera next to the FPV antenna that this is meant for and get the same sort of results

What about the range? That would be helpful if you could get your fpv ground antenna attached to it.

well in the promotional video its filming a surfer from the beach so id guess its well over 300meters maybe more, and at that distance your camera might be struggling to see. and you could mount it on top of you FPV gear and do a little clever wiring to a switch, then you can switch views from this system to your FPV

I have used the original one for filming surfing. It works decent but is defiantly not perfect. I would bet the transmitter would knock out an RC link on 2.4 ( that is probably what frequency it is on).
