Want to get some heather scenes shortly as it's almost at peak.

That's seriously good editing and music accompaniment it could easily be used for BBC country file into, next you will be up in Yorkshire and they will be buying the footage for a new Emmerdale intro

The new POI feature is excellent I must say.

The new POI feature is excellent I must say.

Indeed. I look forward to using it more. What I am more excited about is the new camera!

 

[robmac]

really enjoyed this thread!
so inspire or phantom3?

 

[4wd]

The camera is basically the same, Inspire is modular and a 'better' one is available to change to or soon will be.
Phantom has slightly longer flight time but is a little slower.

 

[4wd]

From this morning, using the POI at quite a large diameter.

 

[Ricardodaforce]

Nice!

They all look great, I fancy buying a drone, but it is a bit too expensive at this point in my life...

Incredible video.

I was in two minds whether to do this as light had really almost gone with the last glimpse of the sun hidden in cloud - turned out better than expected.
A further complication was that I knew there was a strong wind pushing it away once above the trees - took much longer than expected to get home!

Interesting short one of ship launch.
They judged the exclusion zone well.

Here's one I took recently with my P3A

Interesting video from Iceland.
They seem to be using the POI and follow feature very effectively - plus some bold and skilful flying!

Due to the extreme brightness I ran with ND8 on for this - mainly to get the video shutter speed slower.,
But for photos it was a bit slow and there's a subtle colour cast - how does it look here corrected?
So crucial with snow scenes.
BTW the horizon isn't skewed it's a perspective effect (I hope!)

Snowy video from yesterday.
No problems at all running below freezing, flight time was 17 minutes and first battery warning just sounded at 30% when I came in.

A shot from this morning:

Cardiff Bay Drone Panorama by Ricardo da Force, on Flickr

 

[4wd]

This was for the local History group who wanted a shot with snow thawing to highlight the features better.
It's an Iron Age enclosure from about 300BC, it looks to me like it was gouged into pre-existing ancient field system - the faint cross hair effect.
