DJI Phantom 4 Drone Adventures -VIDS-

[RCDrone Studio]

Did a hovering test of the phantom 4, i had to know, it did fairly good to what was promised, the question is, is hovering harder on the battery or flying around at a constant 10-15mph ?

Most quad-copters use more power to hover than when in-flight. Hovering makes the motors produce all the lift. While in-flight, the movement of the aircraft provide some lift of its own—reducing the amount of energy required for the motors to provide said lift (with all other things being equal).

good point, i will have to try and compare to do both soon, it will likely be with the Mavic. Ill do a hover test and then a flying maybe in a circle test and see what it does.

weather was pretty nice with some nice clouds, set it up in the sky for about 20 minutes. in future timelapses i need to do some stabalized in post for a smoother timelapse.

Thanks for sharing. One suggestion, if you're gonna do a short time lapse, do it when something moves in a short amount of time other than just clouds.

Like a sunrise or sunset.

These are good but you need to start the time lapse at THE BEGINNING of the magic hour (when the sun is out but low enough that it's not bright) until it's pitch black and then you will see the sun go down in your time lapse and that would be interesting to watch.

Clouds are good for a second but you need to time lapse something more substantial like the sun or a budding flower for an interesting time lapse IMHO.
