Very interesting video and well edited-especially timing the video to the music beat. Keep shooting and fly safe. NB

The answer came from another member who’s link below added more info on the drone use during the fire. https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/16/18410723/notre-dame-fire-dji-drones-tracking-stopped-thermal-cameras

Nope, you’re never to old to pick up a new hobby. Retiring and just picking up a rocking chair for the front porch is the surest and quickest way to the end. NB

A video released by the French Government shows views of the scene and the effort made to contain the fire. At about 1:35 in the video we see a French Drone Pilot and a view of the DJI Go screen. I’ve included two screen shots and a link to the story which has the video. N B...

Started editing in iMovie but decided to investigate LumaFusion as it’s a lot more powerful. Still don’t quit understand this complicated app but will spend the time to learn it. Much more professional oriented, but a steep learning curve (and price) But if I’m going to get into serious iPhone...

Well, my footage is certainly nothing special except it was our first flight. Purely as a photographer I would not be shooting in that type of light. Also, I’m much more of a stills photographer than a cinematographer. That’s why I’m already saving up for a Mavic 2 Pro. Gotta have that 1”...

Heh heh.

Thanks folks. I know the rule of thirds but wasn’t thinking photographically. More concerned with getting familiar with the controls and response lag. I took off from a soccer pitch next to the quarry and when I brought her back I decided to try sports mode. I quickly learned that I needed...

Sigh, well you gotta start at the bottom and work your way up. I’m almost too embarrassed to show you this clip. But it’s my first flight. This was the first break in the weather I could fly so went to a local quarry. Lighting was dull & I was concentrating on learning how Spark handled. One...

Mom Dieu! Le gazon vert maintenant? Here in Saint Lazare it’s brown and partially covered in snow. Some nice scenic flying there. Add a bit of music to draw the viewer into the clip would help. NB

Wow that’s quite a stack! Think I’m suffering from battery envy now. NB

Well, you could likely mount a pair of plastic tubes underneath with bottle rockets but lighting them off in flight would be a head scratcher. NB

It’s more commonly known as “The Great White North” which is probably why we joke about Americans coming up in July with skis on the rack (grin). NB P.S. The skiing is terrible in July unless you keep heading both about 1500 miles.

Ahh, Greece. You have some awesome scenery there and I’ve always wanted to visit. I look forward to another video from you. Take care and fly safe. NB

Very beautiful scenery and well exposed. A couple of suggestions: 1) there are a few too many “dronie” shots pulling away from you. One maybe two is ok but it starts to feel repetitive after that. 2) the pilot (you) is seen in too many scenes controlling the drone. It’s rather common in a lot...
