[@bowers95713]

I certainly will... thanks for watching my friend. More to come!!!

[@warp00009]

Beautiful video Jim - thanks for the tour! I must ask, who sang the song at the end? Those two guys in the flea market? They are quite good!

[@bowers95713]

They're a local band but i don't have the name of the band (or i would have "credited them" at the end of the video. Nice guys and they were glad to let me use the soundtrack in my video.

[@Michael-dp9kf]

Once again a great vid!

[@FrankAuge]

Great job! I can see why it's a nice place to live. Nice to see your art work in so many places around town.

[@bowers95713]

this is only half of it!

[@fastestthingalive9514]

I love colfax i will never leave oh and jim nice vid!!!!!!!!ps are u doin the fire and steel this year??

[@wxbb4361]

I would love it if you have me a phantom if you did that would be amazing. I've always wanted one.

[@bowers95713]

Yeah . . . good luck with that

[@ryanwynn4441]

Very nice little town. Love the train depot. Thanks for sharing!

[@bowers95713]

Yep - stay safe and follow the rules!!!

[@zinkracer]

Makes me want to get out and add more to mine about Blowing Rock, NC. We need some snow to film. Good job, Jim.

[@bowers95713]

Thanx John . . . go for it

[@lloydgarland8544]

I enjoy all your postings, especially about evaluating and flying quadcopters. I just bought a Q500 from Acesdeals after your recommendations. Thanks for the good work and this video is especially well done.

[@bowers95713]

How did your purchase experience go at aces deals? Did he get it to you quickly" Did you talk with peter on the phone?

[@carldillon2302]

Thanks for the tour looks like a great place to live

[@bowers95713]

It really is my favorite place....

[@robipc9568]

Great video. Always waiting to see your next video, totaly hooked on this channel !

[@robipc9568]

One thing just remembered to ask. have you had any bad experience with birds when flying drones ? Are birds generaly scared of the drone or there are larger predator birds that we should be feared of for possible attack :) ?

[@bowers95713]

Robi PC be careful with pigeons they will fly REAL close to a drone.... buzzards too

[@bowers95713]

Also . . . Hawks can potentially get very territorial around a drone. I had a hawk reach out and GRAB the tail end of my sailplane once. Ive never had one "attack" my drones, they just like to circle around them and check them out.

[@banditxyz100]

When are you going to give an update on the Yuneec q500 and your thoughts on it?

[@bowers95713]

coming up next...

[@robroy25]

Great stuff Jim! You once described Colfax as a "Drinking town with a train problem"......is the Pastime Club the only watering hole in town? Didn't see any other pub or anything that resembled one....Cheers.

[@bowers95713]

The Railhead saloon is the watering hole of choice..... or the Red Frog. (Pastime is closed)

[@HDvroom10]

You're getting better and better, Jim. Thank you for the inspiration. I would love for you to take us through your work in making this video. You know: This is how I did it from drone to published video. That would be great for us when getting our flabby asses out to make our vids.

[@charlieboy6328]

I'll second that. Since many of us have the same interest, a "how to" would be great!

[@bowers95713]

Charlie Boy watch my video "How to make a video that doesn't suck"

[@charlieboy6328]

Demunseed Will do Jim! Thanks for all you do to help all of us!

[@Mrtojo]

Very nice!

[@bowers95713]

Thanks Toe.... Its a tad bit long.

[@tommypallai9841]

Snow in California? How often does it snow?

[@bowers95713]

we get snow a few times a year at this elevation

[@rocknyou3000]

Beautiful town. Love it

[@bowers95713]

Colfax has four beautiful seasons with beautiful fall color, just a little bit of snow and relatively mild summers. Great place to raise a family.

[@wxbb4361]

Is b&h photo a good place to get your phantom I might get mine there

[@bowers95713]

NO..... buy from Acesdeals.biz.... much better customer service AND they offer REPAIR!!! (B&H does not) call aces at [phone]

[@studiolizzy]

hey, I am coming over from England to USA, and will be visiting Colfax during May 15........ coming in by the Zephyr train so its been good to have a quick look round via your drone camera......... you might catch me having a glass of the local vino calapso........ look out for me taking pictures of bridges and other stuff....... Lizzy D

[@bowers95713]

what brings you to colfax my friend?

[@studiolizzy]

Demunseed meeting up with friends in the area

[@bowers95713]

excellent.... give me a jingle when you get here.... lets meet up and fly downtown. [phone]

[@studiolizzy]

okay....... super

[@bowers95713]

looking forward to it my friend.

[@wxbb4361]

Hey Jim do they sell phantom 2 vision. Not the vision plus the vision.

[@bowers95713]

IT HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED...

[@OttawaAccoustics]

Lots of "Historic" going on there for sure. I went to high school in a town like Colfax. The main st there was basically one block as well. Are you the only drone man there? Where is the house that the Bowers live in? Thanks for caring and for sharing :D

[@bowers95713]

Colfax has a rich history... and yes, I'm the only drone geek in town. Everyone tolerates me tho... they actually enjoy my drones.

[@BEN10TO10]

I've seen some of your video's on Colfax before and as I've said earlier it looks like a lovely place. How big is it ? As a matter of interest what's the FAAs point of view regarding proximity flying to buildings etc, In the UK the CAA would 'spit the dummy out' about it, although people still do it, lol. Would love to come to Colfax.

[@bowers95713]

There are "about" 5000 residents in colfax. "A small drinking town with a railroad problem" (thats our motto)

[@foggymtn]

Good job Jim. I especially enjoyed trying to guess which piece of equipment you were using for each segment. It's been a long time since I have been in Colfax...might be worth another visit some day. Sorry to hear about the royalty free music issue. I got hit by one of those not too long ago. What a PITA!!

[@bowers95713]

Total pain and a HUGE waste of time re-uploading for hours.

[@bowers95713]

Demunseed Whats a PITA???

[@foggymtn]

Pain in the ass......

[@bowers95713]

ahhhhhhhh...... and yes it was a PITFA ;-)

[@robertcherry1254]

After seeing your video, I would like to do a documentary of our small rural town that farms peanuts. Do you need permission(s) prior to filming?

[@bowers95713]

No you do not need permission... just use common sense and check on any local regulations... but i doubt there are any.....

[@BarbBare]

Nice choice of music. And love the history, it would make me want to come visit. Maybe do some video of Rawlins lake too its a nice place close to Colfax.... Love your videos

[@bowers95713]

fuck fuck i forgot to include the lake video

[@jedsmaxful]

Relaxed Moment, great choice in music for this video Jim.

[@bowers95713]

Thanks Jed.... glad ya enjoyed it.

[@billalvarez6699]

beautiful jim..

[@bowers95713]

thanks billy bob

[@drewgumins4075]

How can I win a prize like you mentioned in the description?

[@bowers95713]

Just subscribe to my channel. You might win on April 15th. Were giving away a q-500 typhoon and two "shopping sprees" over at www.acesdeals.biz

[@drewgumins4075]

Done...

[@chrisbo66]

I would love to hear about your progression of equipment through the video. I see it starts with possibly older video with no gimble/stabilization, then progresses to more stable video and great cinematography!

[@bowers95713]

Yep - I've been working on this video for a year and a half. Drones include Vision+, Yuneec q-500, Iris+ and the INSPIRE1

[@banditxyz100]

Nice looking town!

[@bowers95713]

Thanks mate..... keep on watching for more "flabby ass": videos.

[@wxbb4361]

Oh yeah! Great! Thanks!

[@bowers95713]

thanks Web... keep it on the topside!!

[@AndanteCruises]

Not tomany punters at the Fle Market but another very good video Jim. Cheers

[@bowers95713]

WTF is a "tomany punter"??????

[@AndanteCruises]

Sorry Jim, Not "Too many" people (Punters) at the Flea Market. Have a great day!!

[@brianvalente3071]

Jim, Watched a mud fest from Cofax ! yesterday. Video by a couple of Phantoms. Would this be your home town or is there another one in the deep South. All trucks more or less flying Confederate Flags. You mad Americans !

[@bowers95713]

Have you got a link to the "mudfest" video? Id like to check it out....

[@brianvalente3071]

Sorry Jim, I have scoured the You Tube entries but cannot pick this one up again. There are so many mainly featuring half naked girls shaking their assets in the back of trucks or quad bikes.

[@bowers95713]

no worries.... let me know if you come crossed it again.

[@makarov4797]

Nice video Jim!!

[@bowers95713]

Thanks A-Ron!!! (can't resist that joke my friend)

[@mumforddale1]

very nice place jim!

[@bowers95713]

Thanks

[@americansoldier7776]

Awesome Video Jim!!!

[@bowers95713]

Thanks Louie....

[@americansoldier7776]

You're welcome Jimmy!

[@alan0163]

Nice tour of a quiet peaceful city. But didn't you also make a video and suggest that videos shouldn't be over 3 minutes long because of the short attention span of the average viewer? This came in at almost 12:00. Your sending contradictory messages to us.

[@bowers95713]

I have to admit.... i break my own rule now and then when im creating a documentary. BUT - they have to be very good, or you'll lose them. So far, this video has an 88% viewership (to the end)

[@bowers95713]

Demunseed But, now that I watch it again.... even i have to admit that its "around" 2 minutes too long. I should have tightened it up and cut more out of it. Sorry bout that. Hope you enjoyed it. :-/

[@chrisbo66]

Let me guess.... Stupid KZbin nailed you for copyright crap on the previous post? Doesn't matter. You are still doing great work and the artist, if they bothered to tell them, would be proud to have you using their music accompanying this beautiful video!

[@bowers95713]

Yep . . . got nailed for that Xmas jingle which was "SUPPOSED" to be royalty free...... total pain in the ass.

[@OttawaAccoustics]

Demunseed So what did they do to you or your video for the infringement?

[@bowers95713]

nothing . . just had to remove it in order to "monetize" the video

[@TheEfrain27]

Great video!! Noticed you had to repost it.

[@bowers95713]

yep

[@bowers95713]

music copyright violation.

[@slargo83]

WOW, What is the song in video?.... .... ..... AMAZING!

[@bowers95713]

which song? there are a few of them???

[@slargo83]

The 1st one that ran for about 6 min

[@bowers95713]

i downloaded it from audioblox.com

[@wxbb4361]

ok thanks I just want the dji phantom 2 vision because it doesnt cost as much

[@bowers95713]

The Phantom 2 "VISION" has been discontinued. Besides, you'd LOVE the q-500 typhoon. you should get that instead. Trust me, I'm an expert!!!!!!!!!! ;-)

[@wxbb4361]

but it cost a lot

[@bowers95713]

save yer money!!!! You can do it!!!

[@wxbb4361]

I think i'm gonna get the used Phantom 2 vision plus from bh photo and get removable prop guards and thr skids from acesdeals

[@bowers95713]

BH does NOT have a repair facility. Buy it from Aces where you'll get good customer service AND repair in the future. (same low price)

[@brianvalente3071]

Should read Colfax Brian

[@bowers95713]

WTF is "Colfax Brian"???????
