mikescooby Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) I never thought I would after borrowing my boss's old model that came out 4 years ago I thinkand the camera was never up to much with taking picture and video, so when the camera stopped sendinga first person view signal to the phone so I could see what the camera see's, production on parts had endedand was not worth buying a new camera if there were any to buy and finding out its not repairable.so I got my boss to buy another, this years model and cant believe how much they improve both camera and softwarewent I looked at it, so I thought i'm going to buy one and manage to get my boss to put it through the company so Idon't pay the vat on it. I got it before the curb meet but not knowing how it handles (though its easy), not sure what all the app software does plus not having no video skills eitherthought I would show my first proper video edit, our company own farm land and our contractor was there so had agohttp://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PocEu1_htW0&feature=youtu.bepictures herehttp://s841.photobucket.com/user/mikescooby/library/DJI%20Phantomeditedtotally forgot I had photobucket so changed it to that, not sure why its not showing the youtube clip and its just showing a link.do have more photo's to upload but not on this pc Edited August 31, 2015 by mikescooby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikescooby Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 well that would be the plan, especially curb or another event. I enjoyed making that first video. I didn't tell you but the one I have is this phantom 3 professional and can record upto 4k 60 frames, the camera is sony 12 megapixel at the moment im recording in 1080p 30 frames as the laptop cant handle anymore but watching clips on youtube that's done in 4k and watching in 1080p or on phone (720p) it still shows really well scaled down. even though the iphone 6 is 720p it can play the 4k file from the card in the quadcopter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salsa-king Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 looks good mike, the other one looked good though too.How much does the Licence cost to fly one of those though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikescooby Posted September 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 I dont have one and alot of people dont have one. For flying these youBasically you need to be 150m from a congested area, 50m from people and things not under your control.And if you're taking any kind of valuable consideration for your flying (eg getting paid in money or kind) then you need a PFAW (Permission for Aerial Work). That's a course, and a flight test and an operations manual and its around £2k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
