					A little flying at The Wedge Newport Beach
				
				
						
							
							
						
						
				
					
						
							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   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.

 I had about 10 people come up too me and ask questions. It was hard pack sand but I did not have any other option. I guess you could hold it and then take off?

 YA, AND he still owes me a bundle for camera bodies/lenses...    I dont think any of his DSLR stuff is going airborn until it is paid off    
 
We will be starting small and with a GOPRO... 
 
I wanted to mount a GOPRO on one of our stunt kites...
