this is a promotional video for a fishing kayak but check out the quality of it. Shot with a remote control heli (you can see it at the end). Before the days of the remote it would have been a very expensive vid! thought it was worth sharing.
yeah, its a 6 rotor thing. you can buy the same rig. it's called a cinemax or something like that. then you just throw on a camera. they use a lumix SLR - didn't think they were that good but they must be. They fly it indoors too. Can get the same effect as those cinematic rigs with the camera on a boom and tracks without all the setup.
Id just want to fly it into the ladies changeroom at the gym or hover out the window...
For a long time I have be considering heli -copter platform hovering above but with teether cable supplying electric power from the ground.
Such stable platform could hover indefinitely over land or buildings 10 -100 meters or even a kilometer to supply constant video for ie forest fire, road traffic, beach surveillance etc or serving as wifi or cell phone transmitter.
Even better could be tethered airships but then size and maneuverability in strong winds could limit their use.
Are there any way to test the idea and supply existing copter with cable after removing internal battery ?
Could copter be setup to keep in one spot exactly above the ground without the need for constant attention ( steering ) ?
Perfect, if there is any copter available on eBay with brush less motors ( that last) ,
without plastic gearing ( too last longer) that i could buy to perform my next experiment on levitating copter over my own property supplied by electric cable from the ground ?
Usually toys like that are designed to last few minutes then fail ![]()
I have already few copters like that in my shed.
Something that could stay in the air for few days ?
