Andy, what kind of drone are you using here?

Chris, it is the Blade 350 QX2, bought it used from a Hobby shop on E Bay. Got it for $300 complete and the Hero 2 for $80 (thanks to Ashmoz bought 2 for $160)

I set it for taking stills every 5 sec. The Phantom is supposedly much steadier for filming video, but this is pretty cool for low buck aerial shots and pretty easy to fly.

Last year we had over 100 entries and are adding a second halibut division this year. We are also adding a great bunch of raffle prizes. Our goal is to raise $5000 for the Southern California chapter of Heroes on the Water.
We anticipate this being the biggest kayak fishing tournament in southern California in 2015.

We aimed for the fences and knocked it into the parking lot

Final total after taking out costs and there were very little thanks to all the generosity, the fish from Catalina Offshore and Coca Cola from Jorge to all companies that donated prizes for the winners and the raffle. We raised $5431. Eric had told me that he would match this number and must have had great confidence in us as he brought the check from Geo Group with him and added it to our total for the day $10,431. This will be a hard number to beat next year Thank you one and all!

Wow!! What a great turn-out. I wish I could have made it. There were some terrific people that donated and helped organized. I gotta make it to this event next year.

Dang... a gopro capable drone for 300! Good deal I'm gonna check that out.

I have a Hubsan X4 that I practice with, but the camera is junk and its super shaky. It's good for stunts and terrorizing my neighbors though.

Have you seen the mariner quadcopter? Fully submersible... I want it so bad. Check out this video the guy straight flips it and makes it go fully submerged.
