    Now that is a smart (and easy) way to do it.

    Nice to know you made it home ok.

    With the forecast weather I don’t think we will be flying this week but hopefully it will all improve soon.

    It took around 75 minutes to upload but I did it last night & processing was all done this morning so not sure how long.

    Lucky Last

    Thought I’d try a 360 degree view that the viewer can move around in.

    Just trying out the SplitScreen functionality of the Insta 360 ONE X2 camera. Something a little different.

    At least with only using one camera to record synchronising the video feeds is far far easier than with multiple cameras.

    This is only done in 1920 x 1080 but works just the same in 4K but takes forever to load onto the YouTube platform even with a 100mbs Direct Fibre connection.

    Looks like Mr Kermit has done it again, well done Mr Frog, a great video.

     

    in reply to: BATTERY OPTIONS #12396

    It is interesting that you focus mainly on LiFe batteries. In my opinion they are the worst value for money out there. Yes they are light but that is about the only good point they have.

    In a yacht a good set of AA or AAA NiMh batteries formed into a 4 cell (4.8V) or 5 cell (6.0V) will generally set you back far less and as long as you look after them they will last a good 5 years or more.

    I recently had to replace 1 cell in a 5 cell AA pack (that I use primarily in my larger yachts) that was made with cheap HobbyKing NiMh cells way back in September 2012.

    Most transmitters (but not all) will take 4 (or sometimes 8) individual AA batteries and 4 x AA NiMh fit this bill also. Yes they only produce 4.8V and not 6.0V but they will still keep your transmitter running for many days of sailing.

    Well done Mr Frog, another fine production from Toad Hall.

    Looks like he missed !!

    in reply to: NEW MEMBER’S #12322

    Nice to see you got the Sydney 36 back on the water, another to add to your ever growing fleet.

    As for the shower cap, didn’t look like showers to me, more like bucketing down which is why I stayed home warm and dry !!

    Well you shouldn’t feel too bad with 50%.

    After spending hundreds of hours working out how to drive the new video editor & countless time removing all the wind noise from the footage, what did I get?

    Zilch, didn’t even get my vote cos I gave mine to you Mr Frog, then found out I couldn’t vote twice with the new polling system so stop your belly-aching.

    The results are in and for the first time in he history of the GMA’s we have a tie.

    Congratulations to Kermit & Uncle G.

    in reply to: A fine day of flying @ the field today. #12294

    Only 2 1/2 hours left for the GMA voting this week & I just discovered it is currently a draw between Uncle G & Kermit so I guess one or both of you need to chase up a couple more votes.

    Makes a difference when you can only vote once eh ?

    Changing devices or IP addresses to squeeze in an extra vote or two wont work any more with this new system.

    We miss you @ flying, when are you heading home?

    in reply to: A fine day of flying @ the field today. #12276
