Just had an opportunity to take video for the local demolition derby with my tricopter! Had a great time buzzing all the cars. Winds were about 10-15 mph, but the video still turned out pretty well. Shot entirely with the GoPro Hero3 Black on 2.7K 30 fps mode. Minor image stabilization was used with most of the clips.
Although on occasion I did pass directly over people, it's always good to be aware what you're over at any given moment. You never know when something could happen!
