I've been getting bored looking down at scenery. I often fly below tree height to add dimension to my footage and generally make things interesting, but I'd like to get lower still - low and around stuff. What I really need is an FPV drone, but absent that, how do you shoot FPV drone-like footage with a P4? Even without the flips and banks there's a smoothness to FPV drone flight that's difficult to emulate. I suspect it's all about maintaining momentum, lots of practice, oh - and fearlessness!
Anyway, I did some flying 'low and around stuff' last weekend (see video) and discovered that even in tripod-mode, making smooth slow speed turns in tight quarters is super-tricky. I managed to get the drone back in one piece. I may have pruned some of the undergrowth along the way, but in my defence, it did need pruning.
