sand chick Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) One of our really good friends had a drone out this weekend for our Camp GTP Season Opener... It "followed" him so some of us took off and did a run video.. So much fun!!! It was Adam and Brandon up fron tin Adam's 2 seat RZR, Mike and FireKracker in the rail, Scott in his 4 seat RZR and then me bringing the tail end in the Ace! Part way one of the kids in our camp jumped in line on his quad!This was my favorite ride of the weekend! http://youtu.be/r_0H_whHpGcNot sure how to embed the video, guess the link will just have to work Edited October 20, 2015 by sand chick 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 That is so awesome. It's amazing how far the possibilities of capturing video and photo have come since I started going out to Dumont. Back in the day it was just cool to have a DIGITAL camera. Now look! haha I would love to get some video of our group on a one of our "cocktail runs". We sometimes do some stupid stuff that would be awesome to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sand chick Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 And then it was cool to have a sand proof digital camera.. It was really fun to do the run knowing the drone was up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Jodi, how did the drone follow you? Was the pilot in one of the vehicles being filmed or in another vehicle just shadowing the line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the pilot in one of the vehicles being filmed or in another vehicle just shadowing the line?Brandon was in Adam's RZR, lead vehicle, his drone has a "follow me" feature. He sat passenger and it was I guess "teathered" would be a good word to a notebook and Brandon had it in his lap.

Vegas FX400 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Some of the serious operators have these goggles they put on and can see it where ever it goes...they use them alot for the races when they can't keep a straight visual on it. Pretty crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam @ GTP Off Road Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 this was just a test run to see how it would do in the dunes. we weren't sure how it would do around the dunes. This drone could record for about 10-15 minutes, and has a top speed of 23mph. It's not easy to go 23mph... lol The speed is why i was looping around, and avoiding crashing it into a dune is why i stayed in the small area. There are so many possibilites with this. This was at 50 feet up. I think it could be safe to use it lower, making some parts look cooler. It was pretty damn fun, but i was bummed it didn't get the wheelies i pulled in the RZR. it was behind us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
