[@SALEH9666]

It’s pretty cool you can zoom in the video details 😍👍🏻

[@bophoto]

pretty awesome technology- I think its still got a long way to go, but time to start learning how to shoot it.

[@RC944jim]

Wow what a surprise a post by Bo, glad to see you haven’t changed. I hope you will be back posting like days past! 🤞

[@bophoto]

Hey RC, YES Im still here, I have changed, beard turned grey. but yes hope to be getting back in the routine over the summer getting some drone videos up, but also growing my sailing channel with 360vr content kzbin.info/door/Hq8X5-qmxoWiQc7DhVF26Qvideos

[@RC944jim]

@@bophoto I will check the new channel out!

Love it. I didn't realize the added the wind. Can you tell me how much wind noise and at what wind speed and the rate of charge? I would love one as back up for longer passages and being on the ball. :)

[@bophoto]

Hey Kimberly, I have not run it as windmill yet, that said if you are on passage, you are probably getting more from it by just tossing it off the back end. the wind version is probably more useful at anchor. They have a pole-mount kit, and also a swivel and windvane kit, I would probably modify the swivel a good bit as its flimsy by passage standards. Don't know how "noisy" it is yet, let me figure out how to hang it first :-) BTW you can use a SAE two-to-one splitter to get more if you want and have an extra unit that can also run by itself.

No it’s great to see you posting again. I’m sure you got a couple drones on that boat.

[@bophoto]

LOL - you spying on me? actually there is a BetaFPV 360pavo that need a unbox / review - feel that have to be done in 180vr. Im seeing more users in that niche - but its not going to beat smartphone views the next decade me thinks. PS. most vr content goes here kzbin.info/door/Hq8X5-qmxoWiQc7DhVF26Qvideos

[@Freightrain79]

Pretty neat device Bo, although it looks like it'll gather trash in the blades because of the grill being on the back side, and how do you mount it up when it's in wind mode, I don't see an easy way to mount it for wind use without having to modify it. Your composition is good, distance from the camera looked right on, thanks for taking to time to put this video together Bo.

[@bophoto]

Thank you Glenn

[@The_CJ]

Nice to see you posting again Bo. Hope all is going well

[@bophoto]

Hey CJ, all well, just spending more time sailing than flying lately.

[@fuba44]

Vr effect was cool, just used my phone tho.

[@bophoto]

thank you for the feedback :-)

[@ninehundreddollarluxuryyac5958]

The VR effect is cool. I only get 180 degrees, not 360. If thats what you were going for it looks good. Holding the part close to the camera looks good.

[@bophoto]

Wohooooo.. somebody watched in goggles? you are correct this was shot in 180-3D (not 360) Putting 360 videos up on my sailing page here kzbin.info/door/Hq8X5-qmxoWiQc7DhVF26Qvideos

[@TwistedIntentions79]

Hey bo good to see ya and hear from ya it's been a min

[@bophoto]

yes it have - more stuff coming :-) BTW check out my sailing channel which is mostly experimenting in VR video.. kzbin.info/door/Hq8X5-qmxoWiQc7DhVF26Qvideos

[@AKATEATime]

It's always good to see something from you Bo. Can you fly that thing around via FPV? Haha

[@bophoto]

Dont give me ideas thats going to get me in trouble - but incidentally...... the new birds are charging via USB-C sooooo at the very least it can put a charge on a M3 ;-)

[@AKATEATime]

@@bophoto Nice!

[@wtfwtfwtf7477]

I hope your well Bo I started following you with Walkera tali H500

[@RomboutVersluijs]
