S2 goes flying on an RC quad copter - Galaxy S II General

What you can do if you are still waiting for some cold sandwich...
Make your Galaxy S2 fly! Bored with strapping my phone to RC planes I strapped it to a quadcopter! It hovers (mostly) and this means getting aerial footage from your Galaxy S2 has never been easier. With 720p the field of view is much better and the smooth fps is great...
The phone was placed against foam and zip tied on - the wobbles occasionally in the video are from when I do a fast descent .. basically my S2 falls with 1kg+ attached to it!

Higher and further next time. Oh and if you are wondering what the orange ball is, that's so I can work out what way an X shape is pointing when its high up a.k.a My training wheels! Next time I'll put that to the back, this was just a test video...

Nice video dude, I'll try that someday ;-)

Thanks .. one tip I'd recommend is using 720p and use foam else you may end up with a jello video

Nice one! Makes a refreshing change from the G2 vids you normally get.

Thanks for the tip, I record most of my video in 720p itself to get a wider range

Got an iPhone 4 because of our shared ATT plan at the office. I want an EVO Now.

Well... I have had my iphone4 for about a day or so.
I am not happy at all. The cons out weigh the pros.
I hold my phone in the bottom left corner alot and low and behold my signal drops like a rock. I have had about 8 dropped calls in the last two days. I plan to return my phone to ATT.
Here is a video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfVaUFD5CKo
I can record in 720p video, but can not upload 720p from my iphone4 to youtube directly. I have to sync with my cable and upload videos to youtube from my desktop.
Can someone confirm that you can upload 720p videos to youtube from the HTC EVO4g? If so will it work over 4g, 3g, or wifi only or ALL?
I am just not impressed enough with the iphone4.
yeah you can easily upload720 p video right from the device, and if you use 4g youll be done in no time especially if its a long video. here is one that i uploaded immediately after i finished shooting it...
I recorded a video and uploaded to YouTube but it would only upload over WiFi.
I do not have 4g to test but it seems it would probably upload over 4g

If it's an HD video, I think you can upload over 4G or wifi, 3g, 4g and wifi for low rez videos.
Be careful with that iphone, don't put it anywhere besides in a padded gun safe, it might break before you take it back.
Here's a cheap fix to keep your hands off of the iPhone 4... only $10.26 and it doesn't cover the cool looking sides of your phone, but it does take advantage of the glass back! LOL!!!

Toast and Maejrep have gotten most of the other sensors working, but again, this is experimental... play at your own risk.

Very nice video... But 85 IROC? lol Thats a Sport Coupe nose. Nice car though. I've had 7 camaros, and 3rd gens are my favorite. I know just about every year indicator of em
First of all thank you, and I'm glad you have respect for the third gen Camaro. Yeah someone called me out on that on youtube too, your right it looks like it is a sport coupe. But don't judge a book by its cover and the deal is the front clip has been replaced as well as the ground effects removed. Like I told him it wouldn't hurt my feelings if it weren't I have also run the vin # and does say its an Iroc-Z. You won't see any '85 Iroc that looks like this one.

Gen 2's are my favorite... then 1, 3, 5, 4... just for the record though... you seem to have a great deal for a first car... my first car was a 1985 virgin maker... lol... you get a 1985 panty dampener (at least as far as first cars go)...

Very nice car I had an 87 IROC 350 that I rebuilt. I had other 3rd gens but not IROC's. I did help put an entire 4th gen into an 89 IROC *89 is the absolute best IMO, best options compared to older, and newer took features away* check out that build:

We also put the interior in

I am quite impressed with my G2's video quality, I hear people complain about it.... but in decent lighting it's good. I have a video my friend shot in mexico of the beach that looks AMAZING... but it's with a vibrant.

That is so sick man, haha. I'm in a third gen forum but don't ever go to it really for some reason. But I'm doing a swap to a built to snot new 406. I'm going to do a lil frame by frame of the swap too. Even though it's not probably as extensive as your swap And yes the G2 has a great camara and I have even filmed skating which you have to have a good camara and it did pretty good for moving video to, which I think is a true test.
Anyway always great to talk to a fellow Camaro enthusiest and hope to hear more from ya!

11 Minute GTab 10.1 Video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtqXLGPzVMk&f0
It definitely doesn't look horrible. However, I don't know/can't tell if the screen is better than the Xoom's...
Also... I didn't make this video, lol.
nice video !
I was worried about the screen but then noticed that he has the brightness cranked to the maximum. This definitely looks like the tablet for me
nice video dude =) thx
really nice video..can't wait. Thank you.

I didn't know that. Thanks (no sarcasm intended).
this video pretty much convinced me to get this over xoom !!
some of the features that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has over the Motorola Xoom are :-
dual surround speakers
native divx play
Slimmer and lighter than the Xoom
8mp cam
FULL 1080P video recording
bigger battery
can anyone prove other wise? and what's about the screen - what screen does the xoom have?
I already own a Galaxy Tab original - thinking of getting this when out !
So are there a lot of good games for the Tab or is it just angry birds and dungeon defenders?
ofcuz there are thousands of great games! u can go youtube n search for "motorola xoom games"... there is a review of games in honeycom
fyi, there is no usb, microsd, or hdmi port in the galaxy tab 10.1
All I can say is "I'm hooked, I'm hooked, I'm hooked!" That is just what every tablet manufacturer needs to get their tablet out. It's better than a commercial and helps answer a lot of my questions. From here on, it can only get better.

It has already been said, not confirmed, that one or more of theses may be available via the propriety port on the bottom of the tablet
the specs are really impressive...
really hope it does better than the first SGT, which is sluggish for me..
It has almost everything cept perhaps true GPS, USB host, native HDMI out, and maybe even a removable battery (like the Toshiba)... One can only wish!
Want. The more I watch the video, the more I want the device.
When can I buy it? I guess by the time it is out I will be getting a xoom or ipad2. Yes I like it very much, but it might take 3-4 months befor it is out.

Awesome! One of my favourite Cinematic Orchestra songs, and a sweet job on the drums too - I also liked the head mounted camera.
I am aiming to do this with my guitar setup, so it's cool to know there are other musicians using their TF for things like this, too.

Still looking for a good drum kit app for the TF. Would be cool to do a "Moby ****" Solo on the kit and than switch to the TF for a cool timbali interlude.
and than back to the kit.

Nice drumming but I was distracted with the fact it sounded like you were sitting on the mic this time.
U play very well, glad u shared this with us,
Yeah the mic sucks real bad. It's a gopro. The mic is tuned for use outdoors (in high wind) so it didn't surprise me that it sounded bad. I'm working on a better way to do this using my drum mics and layering the original track on top of the drums w/ video editing s/w.

ICS goes flying (about 300m up)

I wonder if I am the first person to make my Ice Cream Sandwich fly...
That is, literally. I finally got my update late last week and wanted to see what the video quality was like.. so far so good
Flown on a quad copter with the GS2 strapped to front using foam and cable ties. Since ICS, I can finally use CellBot's Sensor Data logger but sadly the video isn't 720p but D1 and only 16 FPS.

I had GPSLogger running in the background at the same time as this video was recorded and it only took 5 second (or longer) intervals. The highest point recorded was apparently 373m (according the .GPX file). I'm not too sure how well that worked as some of my points were underground when plotted in Google Earth .. odd. Also, I don't know if the recorded elevation is the high above sea level or ground.
I would really like to record how high she flies but it's high enough that the quad is becoming more like a speck tananhig distinguishable! I wonder if the GS2 has a barometer / atmospheric pressure sensor...
The setup..
Flight controller (FC)
KK+ 5.5e multicontroller with the MEMS gyros and Accelerometer upgrades
4x 924Kv Keda brushless motors (180W)
4x 25A Speed controllers
2x 2300mAh LiPo battery
Aluminium / Fiberglass frame.
Spektrum DX7 + AR6100 receiver
