No doubt will require a high end, well equipped PC to handle 8K files.

Yes, it will be hard.

DAFlys Posted at 1-12 04:15
I think you were right not to,   although a few drone shots on the helicopter would have been fun.   

I saw the blue lights but it didnt register at the time.

Hahahahahahahaha. They would have grounded me immediately. There was police too.
They made very sure I noticed them looking at me.

DAFlys Posted at 1-12 04:16
You can never have too many batteries. and im sure it would be easy to drop one.

I do agree.

Oh and this was too close to an 80km/h road and the highway too.....
So....
Nogo.

My PC was getting a bit outdated (4 years old) so I recently upgraded to a PC with an i9 Intel Processor and 64 GB of main system memory.  Runs super fast with everything I've thrown at it including CAD drawings.

Oh, that sounds lovely.
I'm sometimes looking at a Macbook Pro M1 pro.
But I need (want) so much extra internals that that will set me back € 3000,- to 4000,- or so.
Software included.
No way Jose.

Montfrooij Posted at 1-12 00:14
Whahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Please don’t cry.   My mums scanner is pretty quick.

Stop it.
I'm falling of my chair almost.

That would for sure be an elite set-up.  


I'm hoping to make my new PC last at least 5-6 years, heck maybe even longer.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 1-12 13:11

It would.... But I don't want to spend that much.

They probably didnt like seeing your new big camera.

Thats a bit of a shame.

You might be onto something.
It looks like I'm from national news or something hahahahahaha

DAFlys Posted at 1-13 00:21

I'm not going to push my luck

Montfrooij Posted at 1-13 00:28

Yes.   you will look serious with that camera.

Montfrooij Posted at 1-13 00:28

Not when you're already drawing attention to your self.  

DAFlys Posted at 1-13 00:55
Yes.   you will look serious with that camera.

Probably a reason why the guy sold it.

DAFlys Posted at 1-13 00:56
Not when you're already drawing attention to your self.

Not with the police 50m away.

Montfrooij Posted at 1-12 12:19
Stop it.
I'm falling of my chair almost.

You really lost me.  

Prezzodrone Posted at 1-13 10:43
You really lost me.

I'm guessing you are kidding right?
With the scanner part.

Montfrooij Posted at 1-13 11:05
I'm guessing you are kidding right?

I wasn’t.  If you had lots of files piling up it would be a good way to save some space.

Montfrooij Posted at 1-13 01:17
Not with the police 50m away.

Yes it probably best to keep a low profile then.

Montfrooij Posted at 1-13 01:17

It does seem odd that he's selling it after not really using it.  

Prezzodrone Posted at 1-13 11:36

I get it.
No, I don't. Just one box in the attic.

DAFlys Posted at 1-13 23:47

I made very clear I was only interested in the helicopter by making sure there were some obstacles between me and the ambulance.

DAFlys Posted at 1-13 23:48

I asked him. It was a bit of a strange story. But the invoice was real. And it did validate his story.
He has a youtube business (not the kind I like, doing these random short interviews, but people apparently like to watch those) and was asked to do a company video last November.
He needed a good camera for that and they were paying him for the camera. He thought he could do his youtube video's with that too.
But it was too much and felt 'threatening' compared to a compact camera, so he switched to that one (small Sony VLOG style camera).
So yeah, a bit weird, but the invoice was paid by that company, so that made sense.

Montfrooij Posted at 1-14 09:07

But you said you had piles of files?

Prezzodrone Posted at 1-14 10:43
But you said you had piles of files?

I have.
Digital.

Montfrooij Posted at 1-14 12:25
I have.
Digital.

How do you pile digital files?

Prezzodrone Posted at 1-14 12:41
How do you pile digital files?

Just store them in a folder. It becomes a pile quickly.

Montfrooij Posted at 1-14 12:45

A virtual pile maybe.

Well at least you got that,  pays to meet in person for some of these things I guess.

Montfrooij Posted at 1-14 09:07

Good strategy.  I need to remember that one.

Prezzodrone Posted at 1-14 13:29

Yup.
For me that is the same.
I'm an IT guy.

DAFlys Posted at 1-15 00:29

It does for sure. And with these amounts I wouldn't  want it any other way.

Just made it up on the fly. (pun intended)

Ahh.   So a click bait title ?

Not sure I agree with you

Brilliant capture!!
