  • Mounted On..........

    Worked a brilliant way to mount the gopro & also have the lcd screen so i can be sure of setting up perfect camera angle, used 6mm studding to go through the skids on my 500efl with a right angle bend on the stud so camera bracket will mount with couple lock nuts each side, the scrub screws will hold the stud through skids but i will also use nuts to lock each side of the skid legs.

    be interesting to see if it works, I would have thought the skids flex a bit too.

    look forward to seeing the video - is this a Hero2?

          Although she flew well with gopro mounted on skids & video was fine but mounted beside the canopy was knocking out a lot of light so here it is again.

                  Flown with it on the side & had no effect, to mount on the front i moved the battery right up so i could keep as near to cog as i could which is less than what i had when on the side.

                    Jim, how was the footage when you front-mounted your Gopro? I am thinking of doing the same on my 500.
