Brisbane FPV / Grandaddy - Skateboarding Saves Me Twice (Drone UAV aerial footage)

2,941 Views · Posted 12 years ago

A compilation of some local flights in this pretty city where I live, called Brisvegas.

I hate the word drone. It has so many negative connotations, thanks to the media. My friends and I simply fly RC models. We do it safely and responsibly, but unfortunately some people don't. Please think before you fly! Don't fly over traffic! Don't fly too close to people!

This video night not be viewable in some countries or on mobiles, because I used Grandaddy's awesome song "Skateboarding Saves Me Twice", so go have a look at it on Vimeo if you have that problem here: https://vimeo.com/46568108

The gimbal is much less twitchy with analog servos and a Naza firmware update.

Locations are (in no particular order):

Various parks around Yeronga, Fairfield and Annerley
Eleanor Schonell Bridge and Dutton Park Cemetery
Stefan's Skyneedle
Kangaroo Point Cliffs
Mt Coot-tha lookout
The old RSPCA at Fairfield
Yeronga State School

For those of you who don't live here, this is basically your typical Brisbane winter. Tragic. :)

Gear list:

Hoverthings VC-450 with DJI Naza
Gopro Hero 2
Fatshark Dominators
Immersion RC 5.8ghz TX
Cloverleaf antennas
Quadframe Gopro Gimbal
Spektrum DX8 with AR8000 receiver
Turnigy nano-tech 3300mah 3S batteries
