Nice one, pitch it to the the environment agency in warrington i,m sure they would be interested. Plus try the rangers at Thurstaston, i,m sure they would love an arial of Hilbre.

Brilliant! Very interesting and your commentary is really good.
Thanks Wheels.

yeah I am going to fly from west kirby to Hilbre, I had to speak to steve from wirralcams to make sure that his wireless cameras don't mess with my video transmitter, he did say something about the rangers and wildlife so I will have to fly high (400ft) to ensure I don't disturb any birds.

Nice Vid Matey, really enjoyed it.

Be sure to post your Hilbre one up. look forward to it.

Wow excellent video wheels. Im looking forward to seeing the Hilbre one.

Great stuff, Wheels.

good stuff that.

What sort of cost do these start at for a half decent set up ?

Thanks chaps, plenty of great vids to come

you can get a basic DJI Phantom ready to fly for £350, super easy to fly with GPS on board so if you get lost it will fly itself home and land for you

I did this video with a phantom and a zenmuse gimbal

there is a growing number of us on the wirral now and I run a forum for them too.

another amazing vid.

Hi, what's the forum name ? Tried to PM you but you're over your limit.

Would like to know if this is any good and could I control it using what I see on my iphone, or would I have to be in line of sight ?

Hi Wheels, great videos, you may already do this, but have you considered carrying out roof/building surveys with the quad. I am a local building surveyor and can think of many uses, I also work with commercial roofing contractors who I think would be very interested. PM me if you are interested.

Wheels - that is just so good. Not just fascinating with the bird's eye view but the commercial possibilities too.

Very enjoyable ,thanks for sharing.

Great stuff wheels ,thanks for sharing

I was one of a few to test the beta versions of that quad, its a really nice simple set up and works well

you don't fly it using the iphone you still use the sticks, But it is super easy to use and I can teach you if you needed.

Thanks guys.

I built my own HFrame quad last year but since the baby arrived I never had time to fully set it up an practice flying.

That second video is even better. I think you might have just introduced me to a new hobby Wheels.

fantastic wheels, im loving the one with the lighthouse and the way you edit is great

Great video, loved it

Looked at a lot of your vids on youtube.
Absolute quality
the acrobat 360 is great, even if you lost an arm! lol
