We've had quite a few nice mornings like this recently and I've been clocking up the hours on the mini talon. Having already made a 'misty morning' video not long ago, I have actually deleted a lot of footage just like this, but I thought it's a shame not to upload at least some of it. Actually what usually happens is I look at the video right after the flight, and having just spent 40 minutes looking at it through the goggles, I must be numbed to the picturesque beauty of it all, and I just delete it. But this time I kept the footage and watched it again about a week later, so I think it had more of an impact and seemed worthy of sharing.

I have also been using the RunCam 3s as both the FPV and HD recording camera and it's working out well. The only problem I struck was that it needs more than 5V input to function as AV out. If you give it 5V it thinks it's connected to a computer. Unfortunately the main webpage for the camera incorrectly lists it as only supporting up to a 3 cell battery, so I soldered up a special voltage regulator thing for 5V just to be extra safe, and then spend 30 minutes wondering why there was no AV out, when I could have just used my old plug with full 4S voltage. 

The audio has been converted from stereo to mono, I just find it a bit annoying how it kinda flips from side to side otherwise.
