Been putting off buying more GoPro stuff until this was realised, finally details went live today.

Just pre-ordered it, looks awesome.

Yes mate. Racing drone Immersion Pro 250 now. Done the aerial stuff over the last 2 years.

Just watched a FPV video of drone racing Marzy, I never even knew there was such a sport, brilliant to see. Some skills on show.

To be honest mine will be used for inspecting hi level structures to avoid the need for scaffolding for my business. I will not be using it for pleasure, as I told my accountant today. Lol

Yeah all the bad press about drone strikes on aircraft, just propaganda to get them banned i believe. I'm not interested in getting into the stratosphere just low level (100 feet) extreme flying from a screen or goggles through obstacles. You may need a licence for commercial use Jimmy but i'm not sure mate.

Just a heads up

The price of a GoPro Session but 4k... Couldn't justify a GoPro H4 Black for the amount I'd use it (twice in 6 months)

4K @ 24 frames per second for the Olfi Is a little on the slow side tbh
