Popular Post PETDCAT Posted April 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2014 I wanted to upload an interesting video from the corner of the moat where I was shooting but I didn't have enough unique footage. So here is what I could put together with what I have. Luckily at this corner there were mostly Thai people watching me and no super aggressive farangs trying to shoot down the quad. Enjoy in 720p 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) Luckily at this corner there were mostly Thai people watching me and no super aggressive farangs trying to shoot down the quad. I'm more and more convinced it's actually a cultural or genetic quirk in Farangs. It's not just Songkran either, they're also unable to celebrate their own New Year without major crap breaking out, or enjoy a game of football. Something just seems to snap in certain cases where the rest of the world is able to have an enjoyable party and not descend into vandalism. Or they go the complete opposite, loudly condemning the whole party and wanting to ban it. They just can't seem to find a middle way.

Major crap as you call it is worldwide (including Thailand) when they celebrate - usual, but not always, cause is booze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they threw the English out on their ear they threw out their hooliganism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masuk Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 My buddy tried out his new helmet camera, attached to a friend's gun. I thought he did a good job. http://youtu.be/mMTjKZO_IF4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) PETDCAT, for next year I can also recommend the North-Eastern corner. An advantage you have there is that you can base yourself on the inside corner, but on the OUTside of the wall there. So you're completely shielded by the wall, and you can fly the quadcopter near the goings on over the other side. It's also a busier corner in terms of playing water. (South-Western corner is mostly a traffic jam. ) Edited April 21, 2014 by WinnieTheKhwai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Bob Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 So, tell us about your video camera, your quadcopter, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to say this but that is <deleted>--The Russians are brilliant at Hooliganism, the Turks didn't do too bad a job either--Sweden had a full-on squad, and so on and so on--you really know nothing about International Hooligans.

haybilly Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 As for the OP--brilliant video--absolutely loved it [ plus the Hendrix track] The one posted by @masuk was pretty good also--love these aerial videos, though, and this one was actually quite a long one--great.

rcpilot Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) Again great (and very stable) footage petdcat! You must be a real thrillseeker with your quad. No fear for some water coming from the crowds and no fear for some technical failure above the crowds. Keep the vids coming!

Frank James Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 What is the effective range for this device, before the signal fades? What a fantastic machine, and you are a total pro with it, Sir. Great work once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETDCAT Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 It is a Phantom 2 made by DJI, with a gopro hero 3+ camera and Zenmouse gimbal. I just installed new software that will give me on screen display of speed, altitude,battery power and some navigational information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were more concerned to hold it and have an iPhone picture taken then they were with throwing water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch, hope the damage wasn't to bad. Yes this has a gimbal the zenmuse H3-2D. The actual gimbal mount broke and I had the hardest time finding a replacement. Ordered one but it did not fit, ordered a second one (USD 70.00 for a little aluminum) and it should arrive this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
