RC Helicopter

Sir-Ex · 12-16-2011, 06:27 PM

So I want to buy an RC helicopter and put a portable camera on it that can send a signal back to me, this way I can sit at home and fly my helicopter around the neighborhood and watch it on my TV.

Yeah I might be going crazy but for some reason the idea is really hilarious and awesome to me and I've got some money to spend and I want to do this.

Anyone have experience with this sort of thing?

1st step to becoming a voyeur.

I guess it could be kinda fun though

eldizle · 12-16-2011, 07:29 PM

first thought was you'd be using it to wank to locals.

not alone, i see.

one time my town had a flasher, but that's about as much experience as i've got here.

(i don't have expensive hobbies)

One day,you will see a fat guy doing a nude workout and you will regret ever buying that damn helicopter. You will rue the day.

Didn't somebody make a thread about this earlier this year?

somewhat.

It will be costly for a system with any sort of range.

Sir-Ex · 12-16-2011, 08:41 PM

ballpark estimate?

Roach · 12-16-2011, 08:46 PM

around a thousand bucks.

you can buy a wireless camera for pretty cheap, but your going to be limited by LOS, and even then, very short range

Sir-Ex · 12-16-2011, 09:17 PM

huh.

a car it is.

Roach · 12-16-2011, 09:19 PM

same is true about the copter.

There are alot of economical pairings of copters and camers around.

But things like range/quality are sacrificed.

How in the heck are you going to fly a remote helicopter from your couch without crashing into anything?

Sir-Ex · 12-16-2011, 09:39 PM

With the camera. The idea was to practice a lot and then start learning just seeing through the camera.

lol the fucking idea of it still cracks me up. I would shit myself if I was out back gardening and then suddenly this litlte hellicopter comes out of nowhere and looks at me for a while and then flies away

AHH shit i want it again

you will never have it.
