HMS Rodney RC Hero part 1/2

HMS Rodney, flagship of Admiral Ben, was the first battleship to carry my new RC Hero camera into combat. This was the result.

The RC Hero is a compact, waterproof, bulletproof video camera intended for use on RC boats, planes, cars, etc. It has an extra-wide-angle lens, the better to capture the close-up action our ships are known for. For this video, the camera was mounted atop "C" turret, using one of the supplied camera mounts.

how often do you get hit with bbs

[kotori87]

@DiVeronica Quite regularly, which is why we follow strict safety rules and wear safety glasses. I usually get nailed about once per battle day. Sometimes more, sometimes less.

[Larsnerf5555]

what ammo do you use

[kotori87]

@Larsnerf5555 HMS Rodney fires the biggest RC naval cannons allowed, 1/4" diameter steel ball bearings. Other ships get smaller sizes based on their historical armament, down to .177" (4mm) bbs. We follow strict safety rules and testing, and naturally safety glasses are required.

where can i get that kind of ship

[kotori87]

@TheTait09 Try Strike Models

[hod05]

@kotori87 Similitude is used to predict how a real ship hull will behave and how much force is required to power it at a given speed by using a model this is with the idea of simulating pressure, density and flow at full size to calculate power required the model can often go faster than full size hence scaling down using this method will not give u scale speed for the model u said it ur self 12x slower would look better+wouldn't it be easier to aim? anyway cool models nice idea with gun cam

[kotori87]

@hod05 Look up "dynamic similitude speed". It is scale speed for models, and part of that includes scaling time. Linear scale is only useful for dimensions. applying it to any sort of model gives bogus results. Play this video 12x slower and it'd be exactly like the real thing (asides from range, accuracy, etc.)

[hod05]

would be better if the ships were scale speed

[coolio123454]

I'm thinking about getting one but one problem: What if you make all the cannons fire at once? If you fire straight then you will hit another cannon. I'm not really good at programming (I'm 9 :P) and my dad is gonna build the ship
