Drone Pics

What's the best way to upload and keep the quality of the picture?

Possibly my new favourite thread.

Makes me miss living in Scotland though...

It seems that every single video on here has the horizon on the piss. Is there no way of correcting it in flight, or in post?

Misty evening in the Cotswolds...

The weather didn't allow for a flight around the Minack Theatre so the Tamar will have to do for now.

Anyone flying a DSLR on a budget?!

I fancy having a crack at doing some landscape work with a Drone but I'd want something with a decent lens and sensor up there.

Is it possible without spending 5K?

Mine was £1,200 with all the trimmings. (Assuming you have a newish smartphone or tablet). It does 4k vid. If you just want 1080 then it's under a grand. google DJI phantom. Surprisingly easy to fly.... and has a return to home button which is a fantastic 'backstop'.

Cheers Steve,

Does yours fly DSLR though?

you seem to be getting some nice results but what's the quality like in comparison with the rest of your landscape work?

Stills are not DSLR quality - not close, but the vid is stunning quality. You can alter exposure mid flight for both stills and vid - which is cool. It hates bright sky dark land. If you are only after top quality stills you need to spend much more.

Vid: This looks great in 4k (in case you hadn't seen it). You get an idea how smooth it is. >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OGLThTL1sg&fe...

This will give you a very rough idea on how much a Dslr rig would cost.

A few years off before I can justify spending that sort of money.

Took my Phantom 3 Pro for it's first flight yesterday between the rain showers and it flew amazingly! Turned the "beginner" mode off after 2 mins it was that easy to fly. Got up to around 350ft which looked brilliant in 4k even in poor light although I forgot to take photos so yet to see what the quality is like but anything like above I will be very happy

It certainly is a memorable venue for such an auspicious occasion.
