This would be great to use on bush tracks at night . Pull up in the car , deploy the unit , hit record . I wonder what the range is . I looked at it on utube and they had it running over some pretty tame surfaces . So what are they worth ? 10 grand ?
Go ya halvies Nopoly's ! (lol)

Cheer's Rusty2........... :)

P.S. I dont know of any hobbie or sport or activity that requires so much ( must have high tech ) gear . Maybe I should have chosen bird watching . (lol)

Rusty;

Judging from what I've seen...... 10 grand may get us to the starting gate..... but not too far down the track mate........ (lol)

I'm still playin with that 30 year old microscope !!

The terrain issue is the biggie I think. No stump jumping and I figure that accidental drive over the edge may not be covered in the warranty (jest) .

All that said, with a bit of ingenuity, I think we could put together a crawler that would work in much of the bush, the only major challenge would be the communications..... and noise....... and smell.......

*wandering off lookin dejected* Even bird watching was too expensive... siiiigh
