Well here is the first video. Learned a lot.. You tube hates music . I need a gimbal and better editing soft wear.

That's really cool! I'm starting to see videos like this a lot more. Can explain the set up to me. Is it a quad copter and if so what are they and how much do they cost? Are they hard to fly? Is it a GoPro camera strapped to it?
I would say that's pretty good for your first time. :) Cool video :thumbup: Thanks for sharing.
How was the takeoff and landing on sand? I'm always worried about debris kicking up and getting into some place it shouldn't.
Did you get any funny looks while flying there?
It is a DJI phantom.. Comes with everything you need to fly. You will need a Go pro and some spare batteries. If you have the concept of R/C cars then it is pretty easy to fly just add up and down and rotating.Quote:

HE wants a quad rotor big enough to put one of his DSLR's on...
That will be like Gothalos... $$$$$$$ I would start off small and get the hang of it..Quote:

Some of those lenses would almost equal a year at a good University. Can't wait to see your boy flying his quad and shooting some good pictures.
I hear ya. I've always thought about throwing a couple towels down then setting the quad on top of them. I don't think the sand would hurt it but it's better to be safe then sorry.Quote:
