Video duration: 274 seconds

Ground recording of Schyler's BLADE 450X. It's a struggle to see the little heli on my camera phone's screen, so I tried just holding the phone relatively in-line with my head. However, this turned out to mean that I didn't always keep the heli on-screen. My apologies.

On-board flight of my T-Rex 450 3gx. This was my first day flying after a big recent crash and the subsequent rebuild. This time, I used EDGE blades, both for the main as well as tail rotors.

I test a minimal weight mount of an 808 #16 keychain camera to my V120D02s. The lens isn't secured at the moment, so it's just wobbling around on its ribbon cable, hence the blurry video.

Some light sport flying of my Walkera V120D02S around a nearby park, fitted with an 808 #11 keychain camera. The heli's performance was noticeably degraded with the added weight of the camera, but it still performed well, even in the 15-20mph winds.

More flying with v2.0 of the 3gx firmware. Flight 5 got cut off because the battery died on my 808 #11. It also ended in a pretty serious crash.

Flight #4 of my T-Rex 450. On-board video taken by an 808 #11 keychain camera. This video cuts out a bit early due to the camera's battery dying.

Flight #1 of my T-Rex 450. On-board video taken by an 808 #11 keychain camera. See if you can spot Skyler's Blade 450X--we were both flying at the same time.

After my flights, I decided to film Schyler flying his 450X with my phone. It was surprisingly hard to keep the helicopter in-frame the entire time. It's also pretty hard to make out on-screen without any kind of zooming.

I took my T-Rex 450 out for a mild flight around a small park nearby. I'd always wanted to see what was on top of this building in the park, and now I finally have! A grating! I think I may need more vibration-absorbing padding between the camera and the helicopter frame.

I tested my new 808 #11 720p keychain video camera attached to my head. I attached it with an impromptu velcro strap--the same material I used to fashion a collar to test the camera on my pet cat Luke.
It looks like it was tilted a bit high. You can't really make out me picking up my cat and petting him a bit.
