  • The Ravenstruther siren is a haunting old thing with lots of unnecessary holes and 'battle scars', but SHE'S A BEAUTY!!.
    MUST WATCH!! - HEAR IT SOUNDING IN THE NEXT VIDEO!
    This is SIREN H in my Carstairs 'The State Hospital' siren hunt.
    Just one left and it's on the top of a police station! Is "mrdrone" required to ascend into the air to find it?
    WELCOME TO THE NEW SIREN HUNT! See the first video (Siren A) for a full description about these sirens.
    Thanks for watching!
    WHY ARE THERE ESCAPE SIRENS?
    There are nine sirens installed in surrounding towns and villages of The State Hospital of Carstairs. The sirens warn residents of a missing person from the hospital (or a possible escapee). Persons should remain in their homes and keep their children supervised. Schools have their own procedures, which is where a few of the sirens are located.
    Patients at this psychiatric hospital are generally dangerous people who need specialist treatment and would be a danger to the public if they were treated in a standard hospital.

      That's unknown really - think of the summer 32 degrees, down to -5 degrees in the winter (multiplied by many years), wind, rain, snow and an exposed junction box. Corrosion? I'd be very surprised if that heater still works, and surely if the heater is maintained it wouldn't have taken much to put a lid back on?

  • @dykodesigns
    @dykodesigns 5 років тому +5

    What camera setup do you use for the driving sections? Is it a dashcam or a camera mounted on a tripod? I bought a Jobi suction cup mount for a GoPro and did a test with it today. Works allright for side angles when the camera is pointing at me for talking sections but the windscreen view needs a more central camera position. How do you do this, and how do you get it so steady and shock free?

    • @mrmattandmrchay
      @mrmattandmrchay  5 років тому +2

      My dashcam I rarely use, as the image and audio quality isn't as good as my action cameras. Also the file format is not as 'friendly' as the action cameras when editing. I have recently bought the GoPro 7 Black as a better replacement to the Gitup2 which I still use from time to time. In this video I'm using the Gitup2 to film the 'driving' sections. At the time, the Gitup2 had the best stabilisation from all the budget range of action cameras (providing you have enough light that is - doesn't work too well in low light). In the car it's just on a favourite mini-tripod of mine, held down by whatever I could lay my hands on! I don't like the suction cups as the camera position is not as flexible as using a tripod facing the windscreen. The tripod is easy to remove and replace as the tripod I use is fairly unique and holds it's shape, so you can put it back and it's spot-on where it was before. Also, with the tripod resting on the top of a cushioned dashboard top, this takes out any vibrations which would otherwise transfer from the glass to the suctioncup on a windscreen. Hope that helps :)
