Quad copter for hire this weekend?

14 May 2013 | RSPCA ACT

Hi all,

We have not had much luck locating a quad copter/hexacopter type machine (and pilot) to take some footage at Million Paws Walk this Sunday 19 May – any suggestions from Rioters?

We would like to obtain about an hours worth of footage of the crowd at Stage 88 and the immediate surrounds, as well as some footage of the walk itself around the lake after it begins.

Ideally we are looking for an experienced pilot to minimise the risk of a crash-landing on someone’s head.

We’re expecting 10K+ attendees with 4000 dogs and we would like to record this event given the centenary. Apparently the Skywhale is not available…

TIA

If you can’t get a quadcopter, a camera affixed to a lightpole near the end of King’s Avenue Bridge would get footage of the entire walk! I’m sure you could get permission. Good luck with it.

I’ll be rethinking my donation next time I see a collection for the RSPCA if you’re wasting money on gimmicky videos – just get a guy with a iphone on the bridges if you want a high shot or up a ladder any where for that matter.

Sounds like a job for Skywhale!

Going by the last line of the RSPCA article above, they already tried that.

Thankfully, almost everyone does the right thing. As for the rest, the Poop Police will have their eyes peeled.

That’s good to hear.

It could have been worse for the Poop Police I guess, you could be asking them to keep their noses to the ground.

I just hope the poop doesn’t hit the fan…

That’s a lot of crap that some owners won’t be picking up!

Thank you for the responses above, some interesting information.
