ENG - Video - Tandem Training and "discovery" weight 😱🔝

It's Wednesday (19/2/2020) and, as often happens on Wednesday, we go to turn with the RC.

This time there will be few of us on the track, just 4 or 5, and we think it's time to do some shooting, given that we haven't done it for a while. We prepare and bring the equipment with us, nothing really "pro", just an "old" Xiaomi Yi (entry-level really good) and some tripods. On the trip to the track (yes, 40km), we think about what and how to shoot: "Why don't we try to make a shot ..." "Did you bring the green screen?" "Do we put down a storyboard?" Here, no !! We decide for a zero "slamming" solution and use the classic: On Board! 😂

We immediately put our Yokomo yd2 on the track and do a few warm-up laps while we wait for the pizzas. When we have finished dinner, it is time to arm ourselves with paper tape and fix the Xiaomi in the best places.

Let's start filming. We don't care about "how and what" and we only think about driving clean and close. We get carried away by synchronism and we also film a 360° trick which, honestly, really came out very well (You will see it in the video, let us know what you think). An idea springs to mind: "Let's try to put the cam inside, right on board!" Here, nice idea huh ... ... but you can't see outside the lexan! 🤦🏻

Okay let's try the same. We put the action cam on our home made upper deck and immediately notice an improvement ... "Did you get traction?" Well, after some more detailed tests, I can say that I have taken traction 😱 Our frames, which we already believed to be at a good level of development, still have a way to improve. The thing that surprised us is that about 80g in the "mid-rear" position did not influence the dynamics of the model during braking or during an exchange or launch, but they only gave me a slight general extra traction. Now our team of experts (😂) is thinking about creating calibrated weights and a positioning system for them. We will shortly update this article with the developments of the case.

Meanwhile, I leave you the link to the video, where you will also see a small example of where our madness can lead us ... 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️
