Ok- friends are asking what model helicopter you're using to carry the gopro?

Very Cool!!

Sorry man, I am no helicopter guy. i will ask my buddy. I know it's electric, 4 blade, about 3 feet or so long, and has 2 go pro's mounted, front and back. He tried it with a nitro helicopter but it had too much vibration, the electric is much smoother. He is building a 3 or 4 rotor, vertically mounted electric engines/rotors that is just a frame (triangle or square) with the motors and rotors, 2 go pros, landing gear, and plenty of batteries to use just for filming. It's supposed to be really stable and manueverable, perfect for filming.

I just text him, I will let you know what he says

ok. it's an Align Trex 550.

I have a goal to be a good enough heli pilot to fly over the water and video like this. I really can't flying a heli that well and it would surely go for a swim...
