A couple months ago I found a local township park where they let folks set up a race course for drones. Part woods and part field. Flags and ribbon. Kinda neat to watch. Two guys sitting in chairs with headsets on watching through the cameras of their drones. I was very impressed with how fast they were racing. It reminded me of the pod races in Star Wars! Insane scale speeds. I also watched one tag a tree! SPLAT!!!:laughing:
Amazing tools/toys. We used it to fly along the drainage ditch and find where it had dammed up, would have been hard to otherwise, not enough snow for snowmobiles, but to much snow for quads, just fly along the route and voila.
If you remove the s after https, the videos embed when you us the insert video tag.
It's easier than you think. Regarding crashes...I think this thing has nine lives. I actually dropped it in a river once by hitting a branch I never saw. I let it dry out real well and it actually worked again....perfectly. Nobody on that forum could believe it. After shooting the video you watched I was doing a low fly by and was not paying attention to where I was in the field and drove into the ground on a hill. Couple broken props but no damage to gimble or camera. The guy missed it with his marker disk by a foot. It's on the ground and I'm watching this disk coming right at it thinking it was a goner. Yeah, I edited that out!Very nice video!!!!! Looked perfectly shot to me!!!! Thanks for posting.
Looks very complicated to me. Have you crashed it doing stuff like this?? I'd run it into the ground or something stupid while focusing on shooting pics/video.
Nicely done... somewhat surprised that it was overexposed. I haven't had that issue with my Phantom 3.
To be honest Richard, unless you have to have 4K resolution which most can't handle with TV playback, don't waste another $400 or so. I love my Phantom 3 advanced and I should use it more. That said, cost per flight is much cheaper for the same pleasure, III vs. IV. The resolution on my 3 is plenty for my 60in plasma HD 1080 screen. Amazing footage.Okay. You guys have me interested. I'd like to buy a drone. I'm leaning toward a DJ1 Phantom 4. Maybe Phantom 3 if you tell me 4 isn't worth the cost. So what do you think? Where should I buy? What drone should I buy? First time drone buyer. Uses will be video and pics of 4 wheeling events. Thanks for your input.
