For photography and video, a go pro is pretty damned good.Yes, but it's not nearly as omnipresent as a phone. When I took the RFW video I mentioned earlier, it was because I found said window by accident— I wasn't out railfanning per se, and I didn't have most of my gear with me. If I had a go pro, I would not have had it handy. If you're REALLY into it though, a drone with a camera and remote is even better. And there's a small handful of them that can fly faster forward than any train you're on so you can wave at your camera from the RFW. Yuh huh. Right, I can totally fly a drone through subway tunnels and wave at it as the motorman dumps the train because that thing does not belong in a tunnel, is a major safety hazard, and so forth. Or were you suggesting I'd fly the drone into the cab through a side window and record a RFW video on an R188 by having it hover there, then bribe the motorman to ignore it? Because getting a RFW video on a train with a transverse cab by way of a cell phone and a roll of duct tape is actually vaguely plausible, but I don't know how the drone version would work. |
