Moderators Youthman Posted May 30, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 30, 2016 Over the past month, I've been watching just about every DJI Phantom video on Youtube. Got the drone itch SUPER BAD! Tonight, I got the green light from the wife to order one. A few weeks ago, I posted on Facebook that I had "Drone Fever" and one of my clients offered to let me fly his DJI Phantom 3 Advanced. After flying it, he said I could take it home and play with it. After one flight, I knew I was hooked. I ended up borrowing it for a week and made these three videos. Maybe I'll use this thread to share all of my Drone Videos in one place. Anyone else have a drone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel's wife Posted May 30, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 30, 2016 Kevin has DJI Phantom 4. He should chime in. Kevin used his drone to capture the footage at the Pilgrimage! Feel free to PM him and ask if he has any tips to share with you!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homeskizzle Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Just a thought - you could use it to take aerial pictures for realtors if you wanted. I've seen that done before and it looks fantastic to give potential buyers an aerial view of the property beforehand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted May 31, 2016 Author Moderators Share Posted May 31, 2016 Thanks yes I have considered adding it to my design services (Website Development, Graphic Design, Logo Design). I love photography and cinematography but I'm not sure if it's worth it. Will have to do some research to see what rates realtors are willing to pay to see if it would be worth the time involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted May 31, 2016 Author Moderators Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) Looks like they didn't get it to Fedex by the cutoff time so it's been moved to Friday Delivery. Edited May 31, 2016 by Youthman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivernuggets Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 3:10-3:26 in the second video: You walking in the shot with her arms out, in slow.....very cool moment. Can't contribute advice but looking forward to more drone vids. Congrats on your purchase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twk123 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Great footage so far! You already have a deftness and skill which is impressive. You just need to make sure you get your 400m times down in case you end up like this guy lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted May 31, 2016 Author Moderators Share Posted May 31, 2016 Thanks River. That video it was getting really dark really quick. Sun had already gone down so low light conditions were not ideal. One thing I later found out is you can turn off the front red flashing lights to get better shots when you are low to the ground. You will see the red hue in the video when it takes off and lands. Twk, I saw that video. Very close call indeed. There's another guy that swam across some water as it was about to land in the water. Pretty funny stuff. There is a reason it gives you a battery warning at 30%. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted May 31, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 31, 2016 Good deal Youthman, it's amazing the quality of the picture and steadiness of the new drones, have fun. I have seen Kevin fly his in winds I didn't it would do well in and it did perfectly fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted May 31, 2016 Author Moderators Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) Thanks Dtel. I'm really excited to use it for my trip to Alabama to see wakejunkie. Hoping to come up with some creative shots for the video I make from the journey Edited June 1, 2016 by Youthman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratcobob Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Get it legal before you fly and get you legal if you use it commercially. It logs its flights and will tell where it was and when. Took a DJI 3 Pro to Belize in January and knocked out that USA 400 foot altitude limit to get some more expansive shots. Here are a couple of videos we produced while there Visit Banana Bank - Belize Resort - YouTube Tony's Inn & Beach Resort - YouTube Aliens over Mayan ruins Edited June 1, 2016 by ratcobob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
