It just arrived!! I know what I'm doing for the rest of the day!! It's a walkera qr 350 pro with a fully functional gimbal mount for the gopro!! I'm excited

[Bombshocked]

what the hell is it?

[Mattymak]

It's an air drone I think
Or "quad-copter"

if you ever have a dead cat, and get bored of your new toy you can always do this:

[Westie]

I find the flying kitty deeply disturbing

[Labcat]

Very, very.... disturbing.

Yeah it's a quad copter, I was so excited I hadn't put the rotors on yet... I also got the 2D gopro gimbal for it, super smooth footage!! It is fully gps enabled and can link to 12 satellites at once for gps location settings!! One touch gps altitude and positioning then I can remotely control the gopro.... It's crazy good technology!! I'll post a vid of my first flight soon
Did I mention I'm excited?

Awesome!! I like the DJI and it's comparable to the walkera but it had a couple extra functions I liked we should go flying one day Tim

Anytime

Shoot me a PM when you're thinking of going out (on weekends).

[Riggers]

Wicked!! I'm definitely down for that!

[Cawdor]

I saw a guy locally not long ago with a nice setup, few grand worth of gear. But his groundstation went kaputt and he had to fly by sight (which technically you should do anyway).

Would be nice to check out the walkera and what extra functions it has

[sandgroper]

What sort of range has it Rigby, can you fly to the airport  to pick up some fish for us thanks.

[dicky7]

ok was going to write something silly (but that person who shall remain nameless) stopped me,  to me it was extremely funny, I will say when we are  together in real life not on an open forum

 

Cheers

 

PS love the toys

[sandgroper]

Not silly, just ahead of my time. I've got my note written out for the fisheries officer.
