Dayum, that's a huge parking lot! I'm guessing a stadium somewhere. You are right.......parking lot for Coors Field where the Rockies play, used to be the old Denver rail yards, hence the length.......well over a mile long! The section on the other side of me is butter smooth concrete, but too close to the light poles for the drone to be safe so I had to stay on the Tarmac ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rehab1 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) This just made my day. The new IOS 11.1.1 update automatically took a batch of photos off my IPhone 7 Plus and edited them to music. I had a folder containing various photos from my ACM 1600 rebuild and the program just spliced them all together and added music. My wife loves the update that combined our family photos. Fun concept! Edited November 15, 2017 by Rehab1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we need full protection when we ride 30 km or above. These guys and girls have probebly different thougts about that. It's great to be able to live vicariously by being able to watch videos like this. I wonder how fast they were actually going? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great videos on his channel, though (I've been a fan for a while). Edited November 15, 2017 by litewave 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you make it turn around to get different angles/points of view of you? I was tempted to get a drone for the same purpose....but with all the new wheels coming next year ???? that is a big empty parking lot btw....

Tracking seems pretty good, too (maybe no surprise at this short distance). If you put the drone a bit further away, we can see more of the surroundings. That matte black 16S looks nice.

Yeah, it has several different "Follow Me" modes and you can manually adjust position and altitude while in some of these Active Trac modes. The new drones like the Mavic have some amazing capabilities. The parking lot is huge!! The video only covers about a third of it, I'm making it my personal Wheel playground (when there is no Baseball game going on) ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll include a view of the stadium and how huge the lot is.......we will be getting snow and cold at some point soon, so I may have to work around the weather ? I like the matte black too, but it does show the scratches .......I have a KS 18S too in the glossy black, can't decide which finish I like better ?

Popular Post YoshiSkySun Posted November 15, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) CicLAvia is an amazing recurring event that's suitable for everyone. It is soulful and collaborative, fostering community spirit, joy and festive exercise under the nurturing sunshine. Adults, kids, puppies, bikers, skaters, runners, hikers, meeting old friends, strangers becoming friends, music, lakes, bridges, tunnels, food and lots of it, discovering new mom and pop shops. CicLAvia was awesome, I loved it! Edited November 15, 2017 by YoshiSkySun 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Marty Backe Posted November 15, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2017 Very first impressions of my new Tesla. @Jason McNeil at EWheels was kind enough to keep one in reserve for me, so when I called to see if he was truly sold out, he made my day with the news.

Yes, worth it! I'm going to enjoy they wheel. It doesn't have the range that I like (looks to be in the ~30 fast mile range), but I have a few others wheels that can satisfy that requirement. Love the stiffness of the pedals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But obviously it can't compare to the 1600wh MSuper. Yeah, sure, but first ride was certainly a lot of braking, accelerating, dancing and going some faster for test... So on a „normal ride“ i would guess it makes 40miles easy, but we will see :-) Sure, its no 1600wh...but as good as a 1300 perhaps.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going max 25mph in the flyby on the video. I don't ride faster than that, and most times I'm closer to ~20mph. FYI 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
