I'm not flying FPV yet, but have a 350QX with a camera mounted on it which gives first person view after the fact.
Once I get my second camera up with a new memory card I'll be able to do some synced up split screens, but for now we'll roll an FPV thread for it.
Flight 5 is with an original GoPro Hero on it, using the stock anti-vibration mount. Flight 7 is using a new Hero3+ in the full sealed case (hence lower wind noise, despite the very windy day, and rotor noise). Neither is anything special, but you get some nice high altitude views of my immediate area, my house and yard, and even a few shots of myself (look away, look away). An some agility mode flips.
I'm still getting used to flying the quad. Trying to trim it out for stable fight (the camera mount is way forward of CoG so it tends to tilt it foward and make it move forward, and cause some fluttering when hovering due to it trying and failing to hold a level hover automatically). Flight 7 is in pretty high winds (20MPH) which is about the limit that this quad can handle in stability mode. I tried some agility mode flight and it was able to better deal with the winds, but this mode makes for some pretty rough camera shots due to the higher tilt angles.
I have a gimbal on order for it (TRD's beholder lite) which should help considerably with keeping a steady shot despite the tilt of the quad to fly and hold position. I'll also be doing a custom mounting for this gimbal on the quad instead of using the stock position, which will put it much closer to CoG and should help with giving the quad an easier time of holding level flight in stability and smart modes of flight without the need for massive amounts of trim in the Tx.
