    Great Video
    How much did your toy cost you.
    Is it a Go Pro camera?

    Great footage,

    The possibilities for awesome footage is almost endless.

    Like others just another toy to add to the wish list.

    Aaahhh Fraser.

    I see you were heading south from Indian Head when you shot the footage. The erosion has continued pretty savagely in some areas.

    I work on the island but haven't been at work for a couple of months (based at Dundubara...herniated L5/S1...again)

    I'd love to see some head-to-head vision of your quadcopter vs. Air Fraser Island GA8's around Eli Ck or the Maheno. That would be worth seeing but I would advise against a public posting....CAA prosecutions and all that. One could sit in the comfort of their vehicle at Eli amongst the other 200 vehicles and no-one would know it was your copter that was responsible for the multiple go-arounds as the pilots keep aborting their landings. (just land it up the beach near to your waiting accomplice)

    What is the range on your machine/s and radios? And how far can you see before it's game over...into the surf. I'd need 10X power built into my glasses to be able to see it more than 100m away. That aspect of your flying has me intrigued.

    Quadcopters and other larger units like octocopters and then into UAVs have a load of useful applications in my line of work - weed control, fire management, assessing compliance with regulations. I won't say the word starting with D.

    Very impressive. So can you fly it totally by the vision the copter is taking or does it have to be in view? And to think I was impressed by my robotic vacuum cleaner ha ha

    I've seen footage of a Golden Gate Bridge crossing just above the cars that looked good

    Hi Tang0au,
    That was awesome, having never been to Fraser that was great to see. Thank you for sharing that. Looks like a beautiful place.
