RobB Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Just a GoPro hung from the line... comes up with some neat pictures. I have to get this rig out at more locations... it's quick & easy with the Power Sled 24 ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 One more, taken from the west end of my flying spot... you can see that it's almost totally surrounded by water, an actual isthmus... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reef Runner Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Very cool spot......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystainedskin Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Very cool indeed! I was debating on a 24 myself. Cheap and readily available at just about any shop. I put my sled order off unfortunately.... But with the adventure in December, I just may have to rethink that:) Any one seen the HP GoPro style setup? Only a buck fifty.....

RobB Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 This is one of my 'happy places'... It's what makes it worth living in NY and dealing with everything that gives NY a bad name. Scott, the PS 24 is certainly worth the $$$, it sets up and flies in less than a minute, it takes another 30 seconds to hang the camera. AND, it's durable... I've had mine for years, and still jumps into the sky on a moment's notice, hauling up just about anything that you tie to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Rob, What do you hang on the sled - a tail, a tube tail, multiple tails, or a drogue ? I've got a Gomberg Super Sled, with a 25' pennant tail, and that does great. I've also got a brand new ITW Ultrafoil 15, which hasn't seen the sky yet. I think they recommend a drogue for that, so I made a 3' drogue, and a 4' drogue, which can be used independently, or in tandem......but still haven't put any of it in the air yet...... Just curious ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Another thing tied to the PS... It will lift just about anything in the right wind... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystainedskin Posted November 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 I had a local suggest a 36...but i felt it was a little large for my needs at the time. I think i will be getting a 24 here soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Yeah, I've been tempted to get a 36, BUT, the 24 is a beast in 15mph wind. The 24 will lift a GoPro without even noticing, but it did need at least 10mph of wind to lift my old remote controlled rig, but it weighed probably 5 times as much. Maybe more... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
