The National Trust has kindly given me permission to film within the extensive 600 acre grounds at Calke Abbey. It really is a dream to fly through the ancient woodlands, formal gardens and around the historic house.
In return I am producing a promotional film for Calke. This extract is taken from two adjacent flights and is 100% actual flight speed. I have resisted the temptation to edit this too much, most of the footage is uncut which will hopefully give a good impression of the experience of flying through such a beautiful landscape.
Enjoy…
Were you using a GoPro for the FPV or did you use two cameras?

I have used the GoPro live feed in the past and it works pretty well, but now I use a separate FPV camera and this is why:
1. The GoPro uses average exposure, so either they sky is clearly visible or the ground, but never both. I now use a camera with wide dynamic range (WDR) which exposes the sky and ground separately.
2. If using the GoPro case to protect the camera, you have to drill a hole in it for the video cable to pass through which makes the case non-waterproof!
3. The live output reduces the GoPro battery life quite a bit.
4. When the GoPro battery is exhausted the camera turns off and the FPV feed goes with it!
5. You don't have to have the GoPro onboard to fly FPV.
