AMAZING! Thanks to the advice and info on this forum, it went really well. The last time I had a smile like this on my face was when I got my private pilot's license The highlight was chasing the cats around the yard, after I got the feel of the controls. This is one amazing machine. I took a couple of still pics and a little video. I'm not real familiar with photography, and I'm sure I didn't have the cam optimized. The still pic was very good, but the video was jerky when the bird was in motion. Afterwards, I checked and it was set for 1080/60fps. I changed it to 30 fps, and next time I fly, I'll see what that does,,and do some research in the meantime. Thanks again, Gary
Good to hear! I started flying quads at a very high stress time in my life and found that I also started laughing and forgot about everything else other than flying and laughing. Good therapy! I use 1080/60 on my Phantom 3Pro - it's usually the best setting for stabilized gimbal cameras - the idea is that you can slow it down to up to 1/2 speed in post processing and still have 30 frames.
I was beginning to think that we would not hear from you again. I help moderate a site for pellet stoves and if things go well usually don't hear much until another problem arises.
No, you'll probably get tired of hearing from me. The more I get into this stuff, the more questions I'll have. I can do the research, but there's no substitute for experienced advice, and I appreciate it much. So far, the only option that would really appeal to me would be a Zooom lens. So I can see "things" from farther away so as not to spook them with the "mad bumble bee" sound. I didn't realize these things were so loud, but I think it will work fine for my purposes. I can check on things from the front yard instead of having to drive to the location. Thanks for the reply.
