Lately, while waiting for Christmas, I've been thinking about my innovation project. I realized that I don't actually have too much left to do, so this weekend I'm asking my uncle some questions about his FPV helicopter. My uncle has a lot of experience with personal FPV helicopters and he has invested a lot of money into them. Right now my biggest concern is flight time changes along with changes in how the helicopter handles, as flying a quadcopter requires many small adjustments. When I first started flying with a camera, there was a noticeable difference with flight handling and I ended up crashing, so I'm hoping not to repeat that incident. Seeing $400 go flying into a tree and falling 30 feet to the ground isn't a pretty sight. I've also learned a lot about wiring connections and transmitters, so once I get the necessary equipment the construction should be relatively fast.

I had to make a slight change in plans, and from now on I'm just turning my already existing quad copter into a FPV one (first person view). My uncle is still my expert, and I called him over the weekend and he gave me a few tips on flying with a FPV quad copter, but he is likely coming to visit in a weekend or two and bring his own to show me. I won't be able to fly it, as quad copters are expensive and I'm still relatively new, but watching is a great way to gain experience in my opinion. I also went out and bought a new camera that shoots 4k video over the weekend as my current camera needed a new battery, which I couldn't find. The only issue is my laptop can't display 4k resolution without a massive blur, so everything has to be imported on my phone, which isn't a big deal.
