wow - those video goggles and the quality of the real time live reception blows me away. I think we are seeing the future of RC here.
-
All it needs is a gun... :D
-
Wow! RC taken to a new level! Amazing!
-
That is just cool.
-
I think you'd want to be sitting down in a lawn chair while flying a system like this, you could really get vertigo with too many aerobatics. it obviously doesn't matter if the model is flying towards you or away from you - you are in the cockpit - so it should make RC flying very easy. Notice the pilots in these videos aren't even looking at the planes when they do slow flybys past themselves ... almost like an out of body experience.
-
Wow.

Hello military contract.
-
Ive been thinking for years the only reason to fly RC was if I could actually look out of the RC remotely as I was flying it. Looks like it may now be attainable by average folks. Kinda scary too.......you could really pull off some damaging stuff with that.....
-
awesome!
-
Looks like there's no need for human pilots anymore. In the future military planes will be unmanned, massed produced, and can pull more sustained Gs.
Looks like we will see these in thousands in the future, WWII style in terms of numbers.
-
on the flip side, the terrorists could wreck havoc with a fleet of these
-
hmmm...iamgine arming a few of these things with rapid firing BB guns and doing some RC dogfighting :D
-
OMGZOR!!!! FEaR TEH TerORISts WiTh Rc BoMZ!!@!!@@
:rolleyes:
-
can you say MiniPredator :cool:
-
Isnt it just a smaller, cheaper, less high tech version of a drone?

Hello military contract.
Already there hawk, has been for a while now.
-
well, there goes my one practical argument agaisnt UCAVs (situational awareness).

They have it in situational awareness etc??
So the drone pilot can move the camera etc just by moving his head?
I dunno, I thought it was all joystick..
-
incredible what fun you can have with a fisheye-lens!
-
If they can sell this in a ready-to-fly package, with the video system, included and set up, I'll get back into R/C.

You know Hawklore, that's a really good question. I hadn't thought about it, and I don't really know the answer to that.
Anybody have an answer?

Yeah I was checking out a few of the links at the end of the video. The video transmitter has a 100 meter range. Ive since some that are a bit more, for use with rockets with rear facing cameras.
Neat stuff!
-
That is freaking awesome...
I remember watching something in the discovery military channel about the USMC testing a 3-piece fold away UAV, that could be stored in a grunts rucksack, and used for recon instead of actually sending in a manned aircraft or predator...I wanna say it used very similiar SA technology, but then again most civillian technology ends up being spawned from military technology so im not suprised...
awesome though.....does anyone have any more info on the guy or his RC?
-
Cool!
-
So cool!...I keep watching the video over and over...I want one!

Tracked down some of the links at the end of the video. Two-axis gyro on your head feeds two RC channels through the buddy box port on a compatible RC transmitter. The camera tracks your head movements.

Why would the military want a view from the pilot seat instead of being able to see the battlefeild below and in all other directions at the same time.

To combat other drones and or fighters equipped with the same system.
:aok

Err, guns?
U mean like...this?

Charge, the cruicial detail is that pan-cam with wings for ACM :)
-
Yeah, for a long time I have thought of a camera inside my favourite plane's RC model and controlling and watching it fly from the cockpit. And if the view would be movable...whew!
For combat I'd put a laser pointer in the plane pointing forward and a receiver in the back of the cockpit to recognize a hit. Of course it cannot register a proper lead on target and not from every angle but it would be someting to resemble hitting another plane with a a cannon.
The applications are limitless....

-
Lasers don't require the dweeb with the joystick to account for ballistics.. paintballs, or something that either marks, or disables the targets is more fun.
That'd be really easy to add, I think. Something someone may have fun bringing to the con, for example...

Hey, is this gonna put eagl out of work? :D
Just kidding ya eagl.

The Marines have a set up like that that fits in a back pack and launches with a bungi.
I want one, very cool toy.
That song in the viedo almost made me slash my own throat... talk about depressing.

This site (http://www.rc-tech.ch/web/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=18&Itemid=26&lang=en) has the gyro setup. Looks like you can buy them integrated into goggles but I think he used the stand alone gyro with another type of goggle. Prices are given in Swiss Francs.
