Funny... I thought that GX looked like Nickk6's. What drone are you using? I bought a Parrot AR Drone back in 2011 IIRC and played with it some but they have come so far since then.

I'm using a DJI Mavic Pro. I always had sub $100 quadcopters and finally decided to get one of these fancy ones, they basically fly themselves with GPS stabilization. Its a lot of fun since I usually don't have anyone to take pictures or film the exciting parts of the trip.

Mavic Pro is a very good one! For anyone who would like to take a drone on their venture and never had any experience before, DJI Spark would be a good choice as well. It has some unique functions particularly for beginners, like object following, short film mode that self flying to record short films such as pulling away, go around object, spiral around the object, etc. Its small and easy to carry around, very easy to operate.

I love watching this guy climb buildings and cranes. I have to stop watching sometimes because my feet and hands are sweating. I recommend watching his Dubai climb.

Just a warning that if you are up on a crane the drone will be difficult to retrieve 8:30 if you want to skip.

Pretty cool video that shows 460 and 470 along with others. Turn your damn phone sideways when recording (A well known tech guy here is recently guilty of this )


7:21 in for the bumper shot.

I thought I recognized that TFL Truck hill on the opening scenes.

Went to Holy Jims again when it was raining this weekend to see how the GX handles mud. Wasn't much of a challenge

Skip to 2:30~ if you don't want to watch the Jeep struggle.

I just ordered some KO2s and still waiting for my TE37s. I contacted Prinsu/CBI for a roof rack and they said they are working on one and to check back in the summer. I hope they make it!

hopefully you have better luck than me getting the KO2s balanced. I have been back to discount a couple times now and still not able to get them balanced right

If they are using a good balancer, you may have a bad set of tires or your rims could be causing it? Are your rims hubcentric? Running Hub rings?
