Drone suggestion

[Alien]

To be proficient I need to fly a couple times a week.

Anything less and I'm shaking like a leaf on the controls. Now add a drone change and I'm a mess....

Music on a video has to be carefully selected. My drone friend Francis in France does it the best. Usually elevator music.

Well I won't let you fly my RC planes then. LOL Might be a bit fast for you.... (They are only about 60 MPH.)

Never play with another man's toys!!!

The speed doesn't bother me as much as the close proximity to disaster.

Here is the Calmato maiden flight. Not a real good video but my old friend took it and even after explaining where the camera lens was, he had his finger over it most of the time so I had to cut most of the video out. I will get some decent video when someone becomes available then I can look back when I am old and decrepit. (oh, I am old and decrepit now) 14cc petrol 4 stroke engine.

Nice landing on rough ground. My old powered glider liked to glide just above the ground until it found a bush to stop it. :laughing:

Maybe with this rain we are getting at the moment we might have some grass growing before too long...

A friend came over to play...

Nice pic!!!!

Friday I took some pics and video of a neighbor's house building project with the E2P. Even though I'm only a few hours into piloting this Drone I am very excited about it. Handling is improved. Controls are logical.

Was a very bright sunny mid-day. Camera was on auto settings. I think the pics would have benefitted from some camera adjustments or maybe a ND Filter. I'll experiment more and report back.

Pics appear a bit "washed out" to me.

Yep, ND filters will help much on those bright contrasty days. You can also play with your images using a post processing software and messing with its histogram.

I think I'll invest in a set of ND filters. Amazon has them for $60. I'll take some comparison pics and post them here.

Many times I shoot pics and videos and give them to the people I'm shooting for at the same time.

Thanks Mark.
