Well i hope you manage to get one TAZMINATOR at some point - im sure you will enjoy it, i love photography, i just never had time to get into it due to work - nowadays i have more time, it’s a very relaxing hobby, especially in amongst the munro's of Scotland! macoman 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macoman Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 Video footage update: I took today my first video footage with the phantom 3. I have to say that for a newbie like me, it is kind of tricky to control it. I need much more practice. I will upload the video footage tomorrow after some final cut editing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc302 Veteran Posted February 14, 2017 Veteran Share Posted February 14, 2017 I guess you added in the warping. Not bad though. try using the gps routing feature...that may help a bit. master hovering first, don't worry about moving, just master hovering (taking off, staying in place for minutes at a time, landing). once you get hovering down, you can then start moving. macoman 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, will do that... I have to tell you that drone got me nervous. I saw so many YouTube videos people crashing drones because of pilot error.

sc302 Veteran Posted February 14, 2017 Veteran Share Posted February 14, 2017 that particular drone is very forgiving...not saying it is impossible to damage it, but it is the easiest or among the easiest to control. macoman 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, when I took it to the air... it was very stable in one position... not moving around... just steady in the same place. I like that a lot!

sc302 Veteran Posted February 14, 2017 Veteran Share Posted February 14, 2017 It has a follow me mode to allow you to concentrate on what you are doing vs flying it. It really is a full featured drone....while not an inexpensive drone it has a lot of features that work right. I have a small small drone that really is a heap of junk for 100-200bux. The worst purchase ever. The battery cable broke 2nd time charging it. It couldnt even fly. Just saying that there are some really really really bad ones out there that call themselves drones, which are no more than a quad copter with a camera attached requiring complete manual input (no follow me, no gps, no nothing) macoman 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc302 Veteran Posted February 14, 2017 Veteran Share Posted February 14, 2017 Looks really good, like you know what you were doing. A few more test flights you will be more comfortable. You have to loosen up a bit and forget about the money floating (literally) in the air. Once you loosen up or forget about that, the fun can begin. Higher, longer flights, action shots, etc. Remember how much time you have in your flight compared to how much battery life you have and you should be ok. That is what you need to worry about, air time/battery life. macoman 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
