Stabilise Filter Example – Telstra Tower
On the left is the original footage from the DJI Naza F450 GoPro. On the right is the "stabilised" version. By uploading the original to YouTube, applying the stabilise, then downloading the MP4 and running it back through YouTube you're able to see a side by side comparison.

Tricopter vibration mount testing
This clip shows sample footage from four different camera mounts on my tricopter. The aim was to counter the effect of vibration on the quality of the video and remove the "jello" effect as much as possible. The best result achieved so far was probably the simplest and cheapest: a HD keychain (#11) velcroed [...]
Tricopter Flight test
I’ve got a couple of flights under the belt now but there’s a persistent problem with the front right motor. It keeps stopping dead. This isn’t so bad when its 30cm off the ground but when it’s a few meters in the air there’s potential for more damage. I caught one crash on the trusty [...]
How to remove the timestamp from keychain camera video
The cheapest and easiest way I've found to get onboard video footage would have to be the 808 Keychain camera. Anything and everything you need to know about these great little cameras can be found here. While the quality isn't the best, it's good enough and until I save up the $380 to buy a [...]

New TV ratings system
Simple – networks release tv shows as torrents and highest seed numbers for the week wins. I’ll even download them with commercials if I know they’re going to be released regularly and of good quality. But who needs the TV networks for that anyway. So if ratings were based on torrents, ‘Heroes’ and ‘Lost’ are [...]
