Wow, I like the video Eric. So stable. As I watch these, I was wondering, how loud are they when flying. I ask because I wonder that there might be a market in shooting games like highschool football and soccer for example and using those angles for the local news media venues. If it was too noisy they would certainly claim it was a distraction.
What do you think?

Hey Jim,
First, thanks a bunch! I have worked very hard at getting my copter to fly as absolutely stable as possible for aerial video. After 61 camera mount designs and literally months of work I have finally got it where I want it.
(no jello-cam, no vibrations, etc.)
As far as how loud they are, I dont think that the noise would disturb a football game at all, in fact you prolly would be hard pressed to hear it.....however the sheer fact that these multi-rotors are not something alot of people in the public really have seen to much of....it could be quite a spectacle and could maybe cause players to not pay attention....etc. (at least until they became used to seeing it....if they knew about it ahead of time, it could be quite an amazing way to capture the moments. Obviously flying any type of copter near a crowd is another thing to take into consideration. An accident involving a spectator would be no good.
If you can find a way to fly safely at a game and capture some great moments.....I say go for it.
Happy and safe flying!
Eric
