Drone

Post by SpiritWebb »

So my wife bought me a drone so I could use for aerial cinematography. Here is a test video flying for the first time. My daughter was with me during the filming. Not bad. Did some quick edits, a couple filters for the cinematic look and the black bars on bottom and top. Let me know what you think!

So far the people around haven't said much of anything. Those that have said "cool","wish I had that as a kid", or "you can record me, and upload it, I don't care" then he laughed.

It only goes 3/4 of a football field. Takes about 2 hours to charge and get about 10 minutes of flight time, but its still cool. Gives me a chance to learn on this one since its for beginners anyway. She paid $55 + tax for it from Amazon. Now have 2 cameras to work with. I really need to get out and do some filming.
