The old Tintic Mills, just before Eureka, is a usual spot for me when flying. I recently just bought a Samsung Gear 360 and decided to mount it to my Inspire 2 (Mercy). I figured I could give you guys a little 360 tour of the Mills and what not.
(These gifs are some shots made by Mercy)
A little background to the Tintic Mills.
The Mills were built in 1920 and started service in 1921. Built to process ore like copper and gold. Considering it's location and main provider of materials (Silver City and Eureka) no doubt silver had to be one of the most processed at the mill. The mills were shutdown in 1925 due to the design of the structure. The processes they used were outdated by then and so the mills were closed. Now it sits a historical visit, but riddled with plenty of graffiti and trash. still though, it's an interesting place to go visit. Even thought I haven't left a mark, I'm not sure I feel like doing so. Honestly it has it's charm.
Usually you come across old spray cans and soda/beer cans. As far as I have seen no needles or anything drug related, though I wouldn't there being any. You usually run into some nice hikers and visitors. Luckily no one seems to mind when I fly and take video, but then again I try not to fly in peoples' faces. I also usually don't climb on any of the structures, for obvious safety reasons, but the few times I did it was to keep a good eye on Mercy. Overall the structures are still really well in place. With some crumbling here and there, but overall still pretty solid.
Below is the 360 footage. I did my best to make things smooth and as one continuous movement. Obviously a good connection is recommended since it's 360 video (you want to watch in as high of quality as possible, 4k if you can), and watching it in app or in any way that supports the AR functionality. I hope you guys enjoy, Mercy did a great job with this!
