Free time on vacation (maybe too much) 101 things to do with an ipad...

[meadowfield 2,545]

I'm currently on vacation with my wife and kids, and not one to sit around doing nothing - in between trip to the beach a guy has to keep busy. As I've posted before I've a lot of hobbies, horses music, DIY, model cars... Well we nearly always bring the r/c rock crawlers with us, so with a spare 20 mins we go for a play in the dunes and do some video...

So here's how I've kept myself busy for a few hours this evening. A bit of editing, some cheesy music, and upload to YouTube over a flaky 3G mobile connection.

All done on the ipad, for those who fancy a bit of filming, music and editing it's unbeatable

Some of you might just see where the inspiration for so much articulation came from on project C4... And why I like to drive over things

Lots of articulation in that chassis...   

wonder, is Tamiya still producing that kit Mark?

So you're not exactly getting away from it all then?

 

Nice video.

Excellent, very well thought out and framed video, if you'd a dummy seated in there would have thought it was a standard size vehicle or was it, hum!

Mike,

That's why we have them, just find a pile of stuff - rocks, sand, etc and just play! The battery does almost an hour of crawling around....

That's the idea, scale rock crawling, keeping it realistic. I was fighting some interference on the radio gear, I think the EMI field from the 400kv power lines in the background were causing issues...
