Flight footage from the Sidewinder in our garden.

There is some more info on the 5.8 gear in these videos.

Good to know it works well, as I have nothing else to compare it too. In flight the video quality is actually a lot better, the DVR recorder does not do it justice. It is a prototype diversity system that I built around the Richwave modules. I have covered it in some of my other videos, see link above.

I have put some video links above:

Great flying. And the environment gives your flights an exotic quality. :)

You've mentioned you have a fog-up problem with your Fatsharks in another video. If you can find a way too keep some air blowing on your face, (a small fan would be perfect for you since you appear to fly sitting next to your house or workshop) it will eliminate the problem almost entirely. Even if you then have fogging, simply pull them a centimeter from your face for a couple seconds.

Solved that, I wear them on my forehead for 10min before flying. Works great.

I got what you said in an email before you destroyed the evidence. The first person I thought of was you when I saw these things show up. Knew you'd be working on it.

Nice video! I love seeing the side by side comparison of the raw flight video, with the actual recorded video on board.
