Morning all,

Random story of no importance or possible interest but I was entertained for a bit.

Guy in work had a BMW 7 series (E6# Range) when I had my A4 B5 he seem to take great pride in telling me what extras he had that I did not.

This never bothered, cause there will always be more extras out there.

When I turned up with my A8 he came over and we had a chat about it.
Several weeks he would come over and ask questions like:
Him, "Does your car have duel zone climate controls?"
Me, "No......."
Him, "Really?"
Me,"......I got quad zone"
Him, "o"
And he'd walk off.

This eventually stopped and we never spoke about cars again.

He turned up to work yesterday in a new BMW 730iL and it started again but slightly different.
He concentrated mainly on the things he knew I did not have.
His 6 cameras, night vision camera, road sign recognition boot opening by waving your foot under the rear bumper and how slow my car is.
I had my chances to overtake him but I decided to sit behind him and relax at 0630 on my way to work rather than play silly bugger.

It is a lovely looking motor and some cracking extra.
I do like the camera system on it.

My monday was fun, followed by several episodes of arrested development and a movie or two.

What did you guys get up to?

Default Flying Camera

I finally got round to flying (term used loosely) my Quad copter today.

I have had it for over a year now and after its first outing I decided the fully manual flight thing wasn't for me..

So I purchased another flight controller that is more stable and meant for Ariel photography etc.

Well with doing up the house and work blah blah blah I only just got round to getting her up and working today and went for a little flight.

There's a few issues that need sorting like the shortage of ability, dodgy gimbal etc but its a start I guess.

That's cool.

Be great to use at the next meet for a nice sweeping video of the A8s.

I can't remember the name of it but I have been thinking of the Zenmuse myself.

Its the Naza v2 FC I have and its streets ahead of the previous one that came with the Ideafly4

Thats some car park you were at, if the Phantom came down there you would have got your ass kicked.

Small video I took the other day, footage isnt as steady as it could be yet as I'm using the Go pro Hero2 but the gimbal is customized for the 3. Its next on my buying list though!

Looks pretty smooth to me gimbal wise, maybe just turn your attitude gain down a smidge to make the phantom a bit slower and smoother
