UAV (drone) Videos

IME With the speed and manoeuvrability of these things spotters just can't keep up.
With my rates the aircraft flips at 1,200 degrees per second and I have measured the speed at about 65mph - blink and it's gone.
A spotter can't keep you out of trouble, so I won't fly where I don't think it will be safe - in built up areas, around crowds or where I may be at risk of hitting manned aircraft or anything that may break (Not that you should anyway!) I make sure to walk around anywhere I'm going to be flying and ask anyone who is there if they are OK with me flying a drone and let them know my intentions. I've been surprised with how interested and happy people have been in the drone and getting to watch it fly!
My preference is to have a spotter - it's always good to have as much safety in place as possible but I think they are more useful to ensure I don't get mugged while flying rather than watching the drone. Also my insurance requires it!

A vid me and my OH made of my TVR Cerbera. It's not all drone footage, but about half of it is...

I won't bore you with less than a seconds worth of footage but I just had a very close call with a Buzzard whilst out doing some currency flying. That's a first for me as they usually ignore the drone. 
Brave bird!Awesome TVR vid.
What a great way to keep the memory and move it on.
Here's some of my far less stable camera work with much more static subjects from the past week:

I thought I would have a go at a timelapse video with my Mavic.

Just a different angle of our cars. My second attempt at this type of video. It was a little breezy above the trees. more work needed, but at least I have valid PH content

Beautiful, thanks. I need to get back to Ireland soon.Do you change the speed of any of the footage or is it straight from the Mavic?
Here's what I was upto this weekend: https://youtu.be/Hu8qcG-RCp8
