All this footage was shot in a single day using a FPVManuals QAV500 with FM4008 Motors, Turnigy Plush 18a ESC's (non flashed) and a NAZA FC.

My wife helped pick out the locations and acted as my spotter for safety of people, surroundings and the quadcopter itself.

This montage showcases the QAV500's ability to isolate almost all vibrations in both the forward and downward camera mounting locations.  These flights ranged in conditions from light breezes to moderate winds over Skinner lake.  I was impressed that the QAV500 & FM4008 motors could handle this weight and still fly incredibly well.  The Sony RX100 is not light, combined with full FPV and a downward GoPro2 my AUW comes in at about 2100grams including a 4000mah 4S LiPo.

Anyone looking for solid vibration free video, go to the GetFPV website and get yourself one.  You'll be glad you did!
