First few flights with my Phantom 3 Pro. Any feedback is appreciated =)

Ahh nice shots and edit and well Melbourne Rocks!!! ....Greensborough here<(O-O)>

 

[Proyoyo]

Are there lots of nice places to fly around Greensborough? I've never been there.

Nice timing of transitions to the music! (This is one of my pet peeves). Good control of the Phantom too. Watch when transitioning of the same subject matter that the new view is drastically different from the previous, sometimes if you don't it looks like you cut out a mistake. Half second cross fade transitions help IMHO. Overall nicely done video.

Thanks for the feedback!

What was the domed building in your video?

 

[Proyoyo]

Royal Exhibition Building. It's one of the World Heritage Site-listed building in Melbourne.

 

[Bill Schroeppel]

It's a beautiful structure.

Nice vid. Isn't the exhibition building within the bounds of a helipad though? Too many restrictions around the city!

 

[Proyoyo]

I did not see any helipad around there. Anyway, I flew at 60m max so I'm pretty sure there won't be any helicopter.

Exactly! I always wanted to take video of Melbourne Townhall, Federation Square and Flinders Station but too many people & tram cables to fly safely.

There's a casa app. Best to check that first. Not likely to encounter anything but the rules are there so best making sure you are aware of them. I had been flying in Richmond/hawthorn a while before I found the app. There's a helipad in the city and at the Alfred. Takes up most of the areas in the city. The app is called "safe to fly?"

 

[Proyoyo]

That's fantastic! Downloaded & I'll be using that from now on. Thanks for the tips.

 

[WeeMrP]

No probs. Very handy but frustrating at the same time!

 

[Proyoyo]

Yeah. So many nice locations to shoot, yet they're all restricted.
