GoPro Hero 2 firmware downgrade to v124
After applying the latest firmware update to enable Protune mode I encountered a number of problems; Occasionally on startup the camera would hang showing the video icon and nothing else. In Protune video mode, the camera would not create a second video file after reaching a maximum file size of 1.85GB on the first file. [...]
Flips & Rolls with the Naza F450 Quad
This video shows my first loops and rolls with the DJI Naza F450 Quad. I did at least one in every direction (left, right, forwards and backwards). The entire flight was flown via FPV which I found much easier for these moves. Flying line of sight at this height and distance makes it hard to [...]
New GoPro Mount for the DJI F450 Quad
I used the DJI F450 Quad and GoPro v1 to take some photos of a house under construction but found with the GoPro mounted flat on the front tab of the frame, most of the photos were angled too high and showed plenty of the roof of the house but not much more. Also the [...]
4S 5000mAh on the Naza Quad

The stabilised filter has some funny [...]
EagleTree Logger V4 on the DJI Naza F450
The first full flight with the EagleTree Logger v4 running on the DJI Naza F450 with GPS. The first 140 seconds show little activity while I plug things in and wait for GPS lock. When I eventually takeoff with a 4S 2200 Nano-tech LiPo, the voltage drops to 15.4 Volts and within 40 seconds drops [...]
How to mount a GoPro to a DJI Naza F450
I'm not saying it's the best way, it's just how I do it and it seems to work well. Velcro on the bottom of the GoPro, velcro on the part of the F450 frame that sticks out the front then wrap a length of velcro around the entire camera. The "shutter" button can still be [...]
GoPro Time Lapse Setup
The problem: I want to record still images for a few hours with my GoPro camera using the suction cup mount and waterproof case but the battery is flat and I have to start recording in the next five minutes. The solution: Drill out the side of the waterproof case where the USB cable would [...]
