The Great Big GADC 6th Birthday and Treasure Hunt Challenge!

Barrie, at the moment there are just 18 people who have submitted entries so your top 20 place is safe, for the moment.

Regarding the use of the DJI Pocket 2, whilst it is a DJI product it is not a drone or an aircraft. We have discussed this before.

We have italicised and boldened the relevant part of the rules for this drone photo competition held by a Drone Club on its forum.

  1. To enter an item for the Challenge you need to make a post in this thread containing the following

    Your photo or video - entries should consist of single still images unless otherwise specified.
    Subject and bonus items being claimed must be clearly visible.
    The number and name of the objective it relates to.
    Which, if any, bonus points relating to that objective you are claiming.
    The location from where the picture was taken and the aircraft used.
    Any other information that has been requested or a link to it.

  2. Entries

    You may only post a maximum of TWO entries per day during the Challenge which will run from 00:01 Monday the 24th of July until 23:00 on Saturday, September 9th…
    All entries must be taken within this time frame, any photos or videos taken outside of this time will not be accepted.
    Once your entry has been confirmed as eligible and/or added to the Leaderboard it may not be replaced or substituted by another entry at a later date.
    Entries must have been obviously taken from a drone in flight (unless stated otherwise)

Thanks for the info and I accept the rules put in place - I felt it was worth placing the entry and apologise for the inconvenience.

“Hey, guys” cried Sebastian, notes of urgency and frustration in his voice, “It’s two masts, look, two …”

Gonna have to be more specific Ian, theres quite a few things in that photo :grin:

The big green thing :rofl: :rofl:

(checks to make sure there is only one green thing… )

After doing a quick image search it appears to be a Telehandler :wink:

It was adorned with a kayak, but I did ask the owner if they could add their yellow one to the roof :slightly_smiling_face:

I polystyrene coffee cup? :man_shrugging:t2:

It is one of the Merlo range. We could do with a closer picture, especially from the front to identify it properly but at a guess we would say it is a Merlo Panoramic P 120.10 HM with an optional lifting boom attachment. Being Italian machines they are relatively rare over here so we aren’t that familiar with them.

Oh - and the answer you want, Ian - it is acceptable as a telehandler

East Kilbride Roundabout, South Lanarkshire - Mini 3 Pro - 14/08/2023 @ 21:30
I claim 4 points please.

Timelapse (6 secs).

East Kilbride in South Lanarkshire is known locally as The Polo Mint City due to the number of roundabouts it has. There are over 60 of them, the best known one being The Whirlies.

Hopefully most of them do not have traffic lights!

How to slow up traffic…

Entry : 7. A Telehandler 1 - Video only

Taken on the 15th August @8.15am with a DJI Mini 2 at Bordon in East Hampshire.

This has been clipped down from a longer video showing the Telehandler in action.

  • Bonus point if it’s neither red nor yellow.
  • Bonus point if it is in the process of lifting or lowering a load (provide a 10-second minimum video).

Claiming one point for the task and 2 bonus points, total 3 points.

Thanks

Three points to you Nigel. Whereabouts in Bordon is that? Are they building over the old REME site?

Hi, this one was here (51.11981010625672, -0.8724893223218008), visible from the relatively new A325 ring road but there are at least 3 active building sites that we saw. The old Prince Philip Barracks, has been covered in 3 story high artwork looks incredible but everyone just walks past it, I’d have used it for #5 if I could have found a wiki link for it.

Stumbled across this though, TimeLapse - Prince Philip Park which talks to your point about the level of redevelopment.
