Nice quad, and flying. Great garden for flying fpv between and over those bushes, specially with a fpv micro quad like the Eachine Aurora 90. Annoying the neighbours is fun, just don't take it too far. Would be a shame if the fun gets spoiled by a visit from the cops.
Funtip: Do a full yaw spin to the left, and pitch forward as much as you can.

That's an awesome camera when it comes to high quality recording. Wish I could afford one, only I'm spending too much on other quad gear. But I am thinking about buying the older version later this year, which is a lot cheaper. Though the Mobius Mini also looks very interesting, just a bit less quality and a lot less weight.
Did you get insurance with it? Then chance is you can send it back even if it breaks by your own fault, and get a replacement. Be sure to get one of those 3dprinted protection cases for it and also a gopro session protection lens for avoiding scratches and stuff.

They are cheap on Ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Replacement-Protective-Lens-Glass-Cover-Kit-Set-For-GoPro-Hero-4-Session/301735844690
Still think a insurance is not a bad idea, if it is possible at the shop you bought it, or maybe otherwise you can try insuring directly at Gopro, dont know. Though it may be strong, a crash on concrete or against a tree can still break the camera and ruin your day.

Looks good indeed. Can certainly see the difference from my cheapo camera. I may consider also buying a Session (old version) on downpayment, after I break the camera I recently bought.
Nice landing there btw

Two options for a drone that can carry a gopro, either something like a Dji or similar. Or a FPV racequad, last one requires goggles, but if you can't afford Fatshark you could try a Quanum or Eachine headset. Total cost is about the same for both, difference is a Dji is one buy and for a racequad you must buy extra batteries/charger, goggles, props and possibly some other gear. Be prepared to learn a bit if you choose a racequad. A consumerdrone like a Dji can fly out of the box, and is relatively easy to learn. But for a racequad you need to look into how to properly use/charge the batteries, setting up the radio, PID tuning, etc. I can recommend spending some effort in learning to use a racingquad cause it is really awesome to fly FPV.

2 questions.... #1 how come your other neighbours have not nabbed any of that land at the back aswell ?
#2 is that a car hoarder further along the row ?
Quality looks damn good m8,have you tried 4k yet ?
ok that might be 3 questions...

heh i think the bank on my garden had been maintained by a previous tennant but neighbours gave him so much shit,,,he quit doing it when i came here there was an old fence seperating it from my garden and the trees were all 3 times as high as they are now,,grass was 3 feet high and i had to plane off 5 inches of moss..when i first saw it i saw the potential,,"i am a landscaper aftell all lol" all the neighbours are a bunch of old cunts and hated what i was doing..fuck em gonna try some 4k but it only records in 30pfs whereas 1080 can go 90fps and 120 fps depending on what wide angle settings

this is supposed to be 4k at 30 fps..i kinda prefer 1080/90 fps i dont always get the 4k viewing options on youtube for some reason, 2160p is crazy

Good quality at that high res. The WDR and colors are most impressive.
Didn't know the GoPro could shoot video in RAW format, this is awesome cause that means you can adjust a lot of things like the lighting afterwards. Much better then other formats like MP4, MOV or AVI. Really usefull for overbright or too dark recordings.

Oh dear
It does look fun to fly, but not sure if sticking a GoPro on it is a good idea. I remember what happened with the previous camera. Better fly it around a bit, before strapping the GoPro to it. And stay away from water.
Or even better, be patient with getting that expensive GoPro in the air till you got some proper gear.
