Do you actually own the GoPro5? Why would you spend $400 on a camera to put on a toy quadcopter?

Here ya go.

The quad has powerful, long lasting brushless motors, it will run circles around your link. And unless you are an ultra finicky, professional videographer the camera provides superb video.

With a spare battery, better battery charger, and spare props you'll be at about 200 GBP.

yes I do have hero 5 black.. I thought it's the 'best' sport camera and why not to put that in for a drone. Or perhaps we are over rated go pro quality ?

Thanks a lot for the links !

In that case go ahead and use the GoPro! The drone Jackson recommended should be good enough but be careful if you are still learning though.

It's a hell of a lot more than "good enough."

I have never tried it before that's why I can judge...

Do yourself a favor and learn to fly before you mount that camera. Really.

MJX Bugs 3? Cheap, decent flight time and decent range. Also has brushless motors unlike a lot of other drones at the price point.

Reliability is at the top of my list. Who wants to plan on shooting footage and then finding that the latest firmware update has disabled the drone as is routinely occurring with DJI drones.

I'd say that aswell, I seen a video on YouTube where someone dropped one from a plane at 2k foot as they were jumping out. It landed in a pig pen on the guys property. He found it 3 months later in working order.

Ha, I meant the go pro & not the drone folks.

There are lots of good GoPro alternatives out there. Read reviews, look at footage and comparisons on YouTube. I am using an SJCam SJ5000x 'Elite' and I love the thing. Cost me $129, and you can get them cheaper now. I don't suggest it's the best, or even the best for the money. But you don't have to throw $400 of your hard-earned money in the air to shoot some amazing video.

I got the sj 4000, it's took plenty of knocks, still going sfter 15 months of abuse.
