Lovely high pressure and clear skies gave me an opportunity to try for 10,000 feet. I managed it last year in february, but didn't really prepare properly - and was bloody freezing. So now, fully wrapped up I took the JPX out and headed up above the clouds!

Nice 40-50 minute coastal flight, but wind was getting up so landed, but wasn't quick enough disabling wing on landing and pulled me sideways and got caught on the tennis court fence. pffft. no damage done - there's been plenty worse there - folk flying into side of hotel, etc - so compared to that, this one was one of the better landings!

Once a year I do a long VBlog video, showing setup and blathering on about what I do, and imparting dubious wisdom... This is that video. :-)

DJI NAZA with go pro and 200mw 5.6G video. Didn't really mean to go quite as far as I did on first flight - but the wind caught it a bit, and before I new it it was 600m or so away. Quite difficult to judge direction and depth with low resolution head up glasses - you can see them at the end just before I 'land' in a bush.... no damage done - and just amazed I managed to bring it back to the house to be honest.
Gopro is mounted on a shock isolation board which is sitting on a 2 axis gyro stabilised gimbal.

This is a great app I came across for paragliding and paramotor use. It is being very actively developed with lots of new features coming. See itunes for features list, but here I just wanted to show some of the things it can do. It's definitely the best flying app I've ever used on any device.
