Good Morning fellow .Orgers  :)

 

Hoping you are all well and that those of you that own and enjoy your Drones, would be so kind as to share your treasured footage here.

 

I know that we have some wonderfully talented folk here that have joined in with my previous threads (pets and sunsets..now wouldn't that be nice as a joined title lol), so wondered and hoped alike that this thread would attract some great folk and footage too.

 

 

So, do please join-in the fun and we'll see if we can make a worthy thread, filled with your lovely airborne footage (..don't be shy, share your sky) . 

 

 

Here's to a good thread chinky chinky

I'll kick things off, there's a few drone threads but it would be nice to have one dedicated to just video footage! 

 

This is some of my person footage:

Not sure if this will work?

The link worked for me, only managed to fly the one day but 2 locations.  First location was chosen due to lack of hard obstacles in case I crashed, just open ground & slightly boggy, although I'm under no illusion it may have still damaged the "Quadcopter" diving in to the ground? Then went to a local historic site as I believed it was too cold for normal folk to be out in the fresh air? Wrong, they're like magnets, people just appear from nowhere, FFS, I got a little nervous but I also learned you need to scan the camera slower?

Really good footage, looks very stable, does it have a gimbal? Top flying for your first day! 👍🏼

Oh yes! I can just imagine the press if this ever gets launched? When you want a drone, sorry Quadcopter, you only want to read the good stuff? Then you indulge yourself & then all the Dr Dooms, with their doom & gloom crawl out of the woodwork! It's that bad even some police forces have had threats from the CAA! I will treat it like I treat driving, I'll ride my luck while I get away with my indulgence!😜

I will have a look later today at the Drone Prix in Dubai. Its a 10 min walk from the apartment. Track looks impressive on youtube. 1 M US dollar price money. Supposed to have good live streaming coverage and each team has to take the extra 200 grams payload for tracking an HD equipment.

YouTube'd it, it's amazing how much money beside the prize, they've thrown at this? Imagine it's a little like playing Sonic/Mario racing? The age of some of the contestants, I think proved that imho.

Hope to take it on the Hoon next year. At least there is space in my car for it now.

Recently reading the drone legal criteria criteria in the UK, they're really restrictive. :(  The stupid twats flying them near aircraft haven't helped.
