I missed today's sailing day because of in-laws visiting. Somebody brought their Quad Copter and a GoPro camera. Great video. Wish I had my boat on the water.

Enjoy.

Awesome video

What a gorgeous piece of video. RC sailing is very hard to shoot. Might have found the perfect camera platform.

Having a sailor fly one of these things knowing what shots to look for would be awesome. For those who have sailed 12's in Charleston, SC, here is another video of some sailing as seen from above. It was a Soling 1M points day not a 12 Meter day however.

We had the photo essay slideshow of a race at Charleston years ago. Then the video cam from a boat 10 years ago. Then the video cam walking the shore of a race just a few years ago. Then a pursuit to perfection by Martin Gray of the hat mounted cam and video while he was racing the last two years. Now the RC helicopter that can go beyond the racing to the spirit of our pastime. How far we have come and this only in the last decade.

It would be nice to see a spread of this for the class site and the newsletter; media that goes beyond the subscribers here. I can even see a production by the AMYA for showcasing the recreation of RC sailing.
