Houda Point, Trinidad, California - Aerial Views

[@DaveDugdaleColorado]

Rock solid flight.

[@ChadWork1]

Thanks Dave. It was dead still out that day.

[@sainthchuck]

Masterful as always, Chad. That has been our favorite family beach for countless outings and weenie roasts. Thanks for the memories!

[@ChadWork1]

Thanks Rick! glad I could spark some good memories. I've been going there for over 20 years. One of the best, if not THE best view of the ocean IMO.

[@ejbythesea]

Thanks for sharing this new perspective of one of my favorite spots. Nice work.

[@ChadWork1]

My pleasure Ted.

Beautiful video chad, well done. Kept waiting to see those two fellas out in the waves,

[@ChadWork1]

Yeah some surfing shots would have been cool, but I was only there 8 minutes. Looking back at it, I could have just flown the quad down to the sand and got some closeups. I'm not used to having space below me to fly.

[@bophoto]

LOL... I just added the EZuhf radio to my quad, lovely feeling knowing the control link is far more than video best case... if I can see I can relax and fly.

[@Skyguymedia]

Huge fan of your flight footage, great clip, keep it UP :)

[@ChadWork1]

Thanks SkyGuy! I'm hoping to step it up with some new gear this year.

[@RussellMcCollom]

Nice one Chad. Yes, very solid.

[@ChadWork1]

Thanks Russell.

[@thedp]

really like that reverse direction shot in the middle !

[@ChadWork1]

Thanks Steve! I've been working on working that gimbal. I have a new partner and we're putting a GH4 in the air with an S1000 octocopter. We have the stuff on pre-opder. Can]t wait! Then we'll have one guy flying, and one operating the gimbal/camera.

[@thedp]

Chad Johnson ya thats the best way to do it. should be good stuff. if you are at NAB let me know... say yellow

[@JuanitaHarrisMissHarrisinParis]

Dude, your most beautiful yet. Also, what a day you chose...

[@ChadWork1]

Yes Juanita, it was perfect out there on Thanksgiving morning. I had got footage for a friend at Patrick's Point Dr. just before this, then after I headed to Moonstone Beach. Those videos will come over the coming weeks. It was magically quadlicious!

[@BruceWR196]

Chad this video is great. If I can achieve this quality with my XP2 and XPG I will be really happy. I am just fine tuning (not sure what I am doing) at the moment to get rid of the odd glitch. Have just fitted an ND.09 to the GP3 Black camera and I must say the XPG Utility with presets is proving useful, something that no one else seems to do with their gimbals.

[@ChadWork1]

Cool Bruce. I'm flying a Hero3+ with FPV and an ND. I had to stabilize all this footage. I still can't fly forward without getting bumpy footage. I can climb and pan smoothly. They say they are working on new utility settings. I really hope they finish the XPG tweaks soon.

[@Powershotknecht]

Genial!

[@Joeagbaje1]

Johnson pls may I know what quad you flew? This is awesome

[@ChadWork1]

Hey Joseph, Check out the link in the description. All the info is there. Thanks for watching!

[@Blucenturion344]

Chad, how heavy a camera could your machine carry? Thinking Canon 5D Mk II. Thanks

[@ChadWork1]

A 5D MkIII, or any of the Canons are too heavy. This will do a mirrorless like an NEX-5R, and with the gimbal that goes with that. Maybe a GH3. But any more you need a bigger aircraft. You have to consider the weight of the gimbal that will work with a particular camera.

[@Blucenturion344]

Chad Johnson Thanks a lot, Chad

[@rborawski]

Make me want to get a chopper and do this.
