Ah nice, what camera are you using ?

I took my drone with me when I surprised my grandmother for Mother's day. The weather was crappy most of the days, so there are few scenes I wish were sunnier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GuIQH9fapc

Ya I tried, but the search is honestly kinda bad :P

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/96 ... e-for-kids Ok, so it's made for kids but I was wondering how well this could work for the drone. It doesn't ship until next year, so it won't help me right now. But either way, I was thinking about ordering it. I came across this because I am...

Thats exactly my point is that the distance is from the home position.

I was kinda doing something like this already. But now I am officially going to start doing them more in this format :D

Interesting theory however, you would see your distance number high on take off. If I take off from somewhere, walk a few hundred feet away while flying. It will show me at a very long distance even though its 10' from me. I would find it more believable that during flight the GPS suddenly...

I don't understand why people try to fly it so close to the end of the battery. Hell, I won't fly it over anything except a stable surface if the battery is under 50%. In my last video when I was filming surfers I did that at the start of the video. Once I hit about 50% - 55%, I brought it...

Here is a small clip that was taken from my recent video. I just trimmed a small segment of my original using Quicktime. I didn't want to upload the whole clip because its a few hundred MB. This short clip is only 42MB. http://joped.com/tmp/drone-2014-04-29_unprocessed.mov If you want to...

I flew a total of 6 batteries. Most of it was spent hovering waiting for a good wave to come by for the surfers. I have a 32GB card, so I just left record on. The rest of it was just trying out a few different ways to get the shot. I think it was really over kill but I am not just trying to...

1080p using the wide option. The narrow setting just seems to do a crop, which I could do my self in post. Doesn't make any sense to use it. I tried out 1080i the other day and it was *horrible*! I am not even sure why they offer it as an option.

Nope

Very mild color adjustments. I used Final Cut Pro X, ran analyze footage. Then adjusted blacks, mids and whites. Only did it for a few of the clips, not all.

*shrug* I didn't wanna push my luck with it.

I took my new Vision 2+ out the other day. The weather was amazing, little to no wind which is very unusual for this area. I gotta say, the PV2+ is a good upgrade over the 2 with Dronexpert gimbal. I love the new camera, its way better. The previous fish eye was just too **** harsh...
