let's all chip in and buy sixstringsteve a radio-controlled helicopter

[TurboMinivan]

That way he can mount his GoPro to it and make kick-ass videos like this one:

(I really like this video.)

 

[kellerexpress]

Awesome video!

 

[STAG]

I'm down

 

[TRD270]

Sweet vid for sure.

I have a helicopter, why don't you chip in and buy me a go pro

 

[airmanwilliams]

I dont have either

 

[Marsh99]

Or we just pay Steve to edit mine.

 

[sixstringsteve]

That's some killer footage. It really puts the obstacles into perspective. I'd love a RC heli, I've looked into it quite a bit, but it's a lot of work and $.

Or maybe we could just get you and Steve together.

 

[sixstringsteve]

tacoman99 has a killer setup. I haven't seen any recent footage he's taken with it, but I'll be it looks awesome.

Don't use a helicopter for filming... use a quad rotor drone. They are way more stable and easier to fly. A coworker brought one in and it was impressive. If you walked up to it and pushed it away it would stabilize immediately. Pretty cool stuff.

That's steelbender. I believe the obstacle is called "the wall."

It's not that bad to need a strap. Especially on a 4 door jk.

Parrot AR drone is only $300

Agreed, but for most of those guys it was likely their first time and are practicing the "better safe than sorry" mindset. I know my first time going up that I had a winch hooked up to my front bumper from above "just in case".

 

[jeep-N-montero]

Oh, and my favorite rig in the video was the Bronco.

 

[TRD270]

Oh, and my favorite rig in the video was the Bronco.

That was a pretty sweet bronco, I was thinking the same thing when I watched it

I believe that is what this company uses, and that's what I meant when I said helicopter.

It is Steel Bender, but this obstacle is The Fall and is also shown from 0:20 to 0:24. There is an obstacle on this trail called The Wall, but it is earlier in the trail and you drive up it rather than down. You can see The Wall in this video from 0:36 to 0:51.

On the EJS, the officials were all too happy to throw a strap on your rear bumper even if you didn't request one. They did it for me, for example, even though I knew I didn't really need one.
