Well Skeeter,

You took the ugliest patch of land around, a girl on a bike, a bridge, a cow and some hillbilly music and made a great little movie.

I don't know how to do what you did. If I did, I would move to Hollywood.
Your stuff is always fun to watch.

Thumbs UP. Thanks. :D
 
Re: The story of a girl, a bike, a bridge and a clumsy cow..

Very nice! How do you get the motion so smooth?
 
Re: The story of a girl, a bike, a bridge and a clumsy cow..

Super smooth motion. I would love to know the history of that location. What was the retaining wall for? Was it a dam that had filled in with sediment? Is the bridge public or private?
 
Re: The story of a girl, a bike, a bridge and a clumsy cow..

I'd really be interested as to how you got the movement so smooth on all axis. Are you using a 3rd party transmitter with expo?
Does anyone know whether one can use a 3rd party transmitter on the phantom 2 with the stock rx?

Thanks for the gracious comments, y'all you made my day....**** near hit the bridge....derp...

I found that bridge quite by accident....just looking for a "Ride 'N Fly" (bike ride to a remote location to fly) and spotted this location in Google Earth...off we went...

Some background on the bridge which is somewhat interesting in itself: A "Re-purposed bridge" http://azdot.gov/docs/default-source/planning/long_inventory_forms_yavapai_4.pdf?sfvrsn=2

If I read the history right, that "dam" was part of an old bridge that washed away years ago...

I use a Futaba 14SG for the controller with the stock Rx...yes, it has expo rate control (BIG thanks to Ianwood for his profile(s))

Cheers, all!

Thanks for the head-up!
Your video is as good (if not better) than any inspire videos I've seen. I hope to get there some day.
 
Re: The story of a girl, a bike, a bridge and a clumsy cow..

Interesting history of the area. And very nice video!
Had I not seen the shadow of the Phantom, I would have sworn you were flying the Yuneec Q500 to get that smooth of video!
Good work!

very cool. thank you
 
Re: The story of a girl, a bike, a bridge and a clumsy cow..

Thanks again, y'all.

Here's something of a documentary that I did with two Phantoms (a V2 and an updated V2) at a very cool mining location in northwestern AZ...

Some of the dual P2 shoots are at 2:00 and much more at 6:36..Ya might need some popcorn for the whole thing...

Cheers!
