Jet ski vid from quad copter

[mardon]

Hi guys, just a small vid I made from todays ride at the gold coast. It was blowing about 10knots so its a bit shaky but still pretty cool..

Its not the easiest to control man especially cause its so small and light and it was quite windy. With a bit more practice though I'll be getting a lot closer and getting right amongst it.

What model were you using? T-580?

What kind of flight time do you get and will it warn that you need to land rather than splash down?

Its a T380 which is smaller than the T580. They are $200 off ebay but dont come with radio or battery. I get around 10-15mins flight from one 2200ma battery while carrying a gopro. When the battery gets low the copter starts beeping like crazy. I think once it starts beeping you have around 2mins of battery left to land..
All the footage for this video was from one flight of 11mins.
I think if I was to buy another one i'd probably spend the extra and get something a bit bigger that can handle windier conditions.

Awesome video. I loved being able to watch from that far up. It looked like at the end you were almost chasing a seagull lol.

I have already put it through the stabilization program on Imovie. Trust me it was really jumpy before seeing the wind was buffering it around heaps..
Thanks for all the comments guys.. I'll be doing a lot more of them so i'll keep posting them up. Just got to get some more practice with it and get amongst the guys and right up close.. Its just so nerve racking having over the waves.
Here is the first video I made with it flying into my garage and around the park near my house. Its not jetski related but fun the watch..
