Kaikoura Coast Track

I did a drone job last year for some people that own a few properties in the region.
It's a great part of our country.

Drone camera on the new handheld 3 axis gimbal test

Hi guys. Here's a short clip taken from my new handheld rig that uses my drone Inspire1 x3 camera. I've been waiting for months for DJI to release this unit. I'm thinking it'll be a great tool to use for land base 4X4 footage. It's not water proof so getting it dirty isn't an option. But it'll still...

4X4 10min from the centre of Chch

This is the Worsley track just 10 minutes from the centre of Christchurch.
I couldn't stay there to film the guys peddling.

I guess. I've found, the simpler the better. But yes, it's all been said before.
My last FJ40 cost me a small fortune but, we all live and learn.

Re: 2015 Police building implosion.

I was one of 4 official drone operators for the implosion last Sunday.

A friend of mine Jared was one too, he's also a full time photographer.
He just finished putting this clip together. If you like it share it round.

Re: FJ40 hack

Local. It was my truck about 9yrs ago (the first ever fj40 I owned). The last owner had every intention of getting it going but never got round to it. So I brought it back off him. My 17yr old son is interested in all things auto, it was brought mainly for him. I know the motor is strong. It was run...

FJ40 hack

Hi guys. Well. I brought this 40 yesterday. It's 99% all there. Just isn't a runner right now. Both me and my boy needed a project. He's enjoying a Auto mechanical course this year at Tech so I thought we need a 4X4. But this is just going to be a hack. https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8851/18448919055...

Re: 2015 Police building implosion.

Nice footage, that drone/camera system is rock steady 8) Is that manually flown or are you using way points? Good question. Flying by waypoints for the "Inspire 1" drone I use isn't far away but we have been waiting for it a while now.. Yes, it's being flown in semi manual control. "...

Has anyone here been there? It's in the South Island west of Temuka close to Pleasant Point. It's an awesome MX track.
I had my drone there last weekend.

Re: Sumner Road April 2015

All of us operators are impressed too. I've had it flying in over 60km winds and it's surprisingly stable. Flight times depends on conditions like if it's windy it reduces the time and how you fly it as well. Generally around 20 mins. Distance can be well over 2km but as a rule you have to view it w...

Sumner Road April 2015

There was a fly over done last month of the same area but I thought the quality wasn't the best as the drone used was only a Phantom.
So yesterday I did a fly over with my drone.
Can't wait for this road to be open again.
