Yeah that's pretty smooth!- need to get a longer line going tho. I've been messing around for the last 6 month or so on making a remote control rig. Here's the test vid if you're interested- password is G23.

I'm about to post a new vid with some clips using it. The GoPro has opened a whole world of fun!

Take it easy man.

Yeah we're searching for a cheap and lightweight 50m to 100m line.
Nice vid with your remote control cam

Where did you made that from? Did you used a RC car or something?
Hope to see more from your cam soon

Keep on cycling and filming

You want something like this for lightweight rigs...

I used a 50m reel like this until my rig became too heavy with motors, batteries etc. It's surprisingly strong stuff as it has a metal core.

Yeah I ripped apart an old RC car and went from there... I about to put a vid up in about a week or so and there will be a fair bit of cable footage in there- keep your eye out!! Hope you like.

Cheers man, you too! Take it easy.

Thanks man! That line should do the trick.

Haha nice.
I'll keep my eye out for it
