| OK, thanks. Basically at this point I am going to get into the heliphoto business in the near future, although I've been operating heli's to take pictures recreationally over the past year. I think it would be appropriate for me to wait until I have some paid business going in the area with a business license before approaching the PD administration regarding purchasing such a system as yours. They might take it more seriously if they recognize that I am "in the business" in a few months rather than now.
As far as lighting goes, cops sometimes find it challenging to effectively locate suspects that have been thermally located and announced over radio by a hilltop spotter with the thermal imager due to lack of lighting and good cover by the suspect. Putting 7mil. candlepower of light on the suspect however does change that. The 35 watt-12 volt requirement may be a challenge for a G-26 or G52 twin, I do not know. Sullivan may come up with a more powerful generator than their 800MW system to power this. When it comes to tractors and generators generally 1 HP runs 500 watts, I am not sure if that ratio applies to this form of power generation. The flashlight version of the HID light is 6lbs and runs 70 minutes w/o power needs, that is the other option.
Thanks for the reply. |
