Can I ask for specifics on the equipment you used to shoot this? It was very well done. I was particularly impressed with the scene of the monks going into the building. Nice work.

Regarding posting originally in the CM forum. He is a CM member and most of his videos have been there. Here is another video topic and shows his gear - Temple Doi Suthep

Thanks Tywais,

Maybe this newer picture is a bit better...

The sign on the gate near the end seems to sat Surin?

Thanks. Very clever use of a 'drone' camera and very skilful control. Most enjoyable.

Wonderful film footage. I am curious how there could be filming at ground level then it goes up - can't be by airplane? -just saw the pic...ok still a skill

The sign on the gate near the end seems to sat Surin?

Right!

It is a village along the hwy 24, some 10km east of Prasat, Surin.

brilliant

Hi

Ime really excited by this , i live in NE Isaan ,

Oh sorry its a drone

It was fantastic anyway, excellent photography

Hwy 24 runs from Nakhon Ratchasima through Buriram and Surin. How it was posted in the Chiang Mai forum I have no idea.

At least you're honest...... " you have no idea " , but in order to post something you come up with plain crap

The man does excellent work...... He lives , I'm assuming in the CM area and has posted several others that have lit up most folks on positive feelings.

He posted it in the CM Forum as that is where he posted the others so the people who already appreciate what he is doing , can see some new stuff.

Now , I am sure I speak for a lot of others and wish you all the best with your preperation H & tampax problems. So do try and look at the beauty of what the man has and is doing and try and get some enjoyment out of it. The rest of us do and I personally am happy that he did post it in the CM Forum as I am sure I would have missed it where it has been relocated.

RCPilot thanks again for the enjoyment you have given to the majority of us. .... and Barry, try and be not such a grump and perhaps there will be something in his postings that you will like.

As Ms Smith famousily said "If you can't same something nice, don't say any thing at all"

RCPilot ..... keep it up and be sure and tell us in the CM Forum if you post anything new and where you post it ... I thank you sir.

Posted in the Chiang Mai forum because ???

Because Chiang Mai is in Issan...!!! Just ask any of the rural farmers...

Highway 24 runs from korat, nong kee, nangrong ,prakonchai, prasat ,not through buriram. At the nearest point buriram is 44 kilometers away.

Best footage I've ever seen ! Thank you rcpilot...

Great video. My hats off to the operator of the RC chopper. Music also added to the mood of the video. Again good job.

Any plans for other locations in Thailand?

Hmmmm...I see an opening for someone to use this technology to check if Tilak is on the straight and narrow at home in her farang palace while the rig pig hubby is offshore.

Likewise...interested to know the equipment you used. Great video...great music...great video work by you...... please keep it coming

Good job mate excellent running back to issan on 29th for a mont,h after this video missing my village very much and Leo Beer

Here are some of his video postings in the Chiang Mai forum.

Doi Suthep

CM Night Market (Silverlight)

Wat Jet Yot

Mae Rim Resort

Bloody awesome mate. Your skills are the bees knees.

Keep up the excellent work.

Great Video. I live in Surin but this is still not that close to Surin. The camera setup is just awesome. Do you mind giving us an idea the total cost for the camera, helicopter etc.

I have been thinking about investing more in my system. I have a cheap copter paid 1500B for it runs only 10mins max. and a small cam that records to a SDcard. Yours looks like gas operated. Please give us more details if you dont mind. Again great work loved it!!!

Thanks for your interest, ericthai.

I did post a picture of my gear some days ago, so I would suggest that you just scoll up a bit.

Cost is mainly a lot of digging in all kind of technical stuff like electronics/processors/software.

The camera I mostly use is a Pana LX7. Delivers superb quality by less than 300grams.

Moneywise I would say roughly 50K THB for the copter and peripherals.

And do you have to be a former US Air Force pilot in order to manage this 'drone' ?

Very interesting to see- and hear about this.

Please continue !

And !...............!

So pleasing today to see the bored critics have been silenced.

For goodness sake, a guy goes out of his way to entertain and inform the majority of us here who greatly appreciate his contribution and a few attempt to undermine the whole effort with needless comments.

Perhaps an apology from some would be appreciated and well received?

Congratulations again "rcpilot"

Like your USAF pilot, some practice will do

I am involved with RC planes and photo/videography for many years.

The Songkran festival with this would be great to see ....and also the Loi Kratong too....both are great in CM.

Do you do it at night?

Is your helicopter running on gas or battery? If battery how long is your flight time?

It's battery operated. From another post of his he indicated 7 minutes operational time on a charge.

1000km SE of CM? That would put you well into Cambodia.

not driving by road

Wonderful. Hope you have found or will find ways to fund your hobby (if that is what it still is) or more. I was struck by the technical quality of the clips. Many tourist websites - cities, resorts, hotels, restaurants - would benefit from including a short production by you, quite apart from the larger commercial applications.

The (uninsurable?) public liability crash risks must be a bit of a nightmare for it as a business proposition though. Has no-one in the industry invented back-up emergency remote or auto-operated chutes?

Has no-one in the industry invented back-up emergency remote or auto-operated chutes?

Some systems have auto home capability. If the battery gets low or the transmitter reception too low it will use GPS and come back to the operator and land on its own.

That is correct Tywais, I also have RTL (Return To Launch) programmed as failsave.

But no quarantees. Still a mechanical failure, motor or motordriver (ESC) etc. would make it impossible to RTL.

There are chutes, but they are only effective by a minimum height (unknown to me) but I am assuming that my copter mostly flies under that minimum height.
