I'm not a confident flyer, but I'm having fun practicing! Here's a video that I created using a Phantom 4 and iMovie. No video enhancements other than cutting down the length, and adding music. Any and all comments welcome. I'm here to learn. Now lets see if I embedded this correctly!

Only saw 1.5 min of it. kept buffering. but your movements looked slow and smooth to me. good job I say especially being new to it all.

Looks great, good job. And I thought the dude down the road from me had a bunch of hay!

Thank you! I'm sorry that it kept buffering. Maybe you could try it again?

Thank you! It feels like we hay all summer long!

Is that hay or silage? Here in Australia, poly-wrapped bales are usually called silage, meaning we cut green grass, bale and wrap it, then store it to let it ferment.

That's cool. Were you using Point Of Interest?

You did a good job, it looks great.

Nicely filmed.  (my computer wasn't buffering either).  I noticed a deep trench behind the main barn.  Was that an old pond?  Or does it have some use for the cotton farm?

Hi, nice video! slow and smooth movements, good job! Keep flying

Some call them silage, we just call them wrapped round bales or hay! The grass is partially dried down before we bale it. This has been a very rainy summer, so it has been very challenging to put up quality feed.

Thank you! I just found out about the Litchi app from a post on this forum, making flying so much fun and easy!

Thank you! Not a cotton farm, just wrapped round bales of hay for our dairy cows. What looks like an old pond is actually a manure pit that collects all the waste from the barns!

Thank you for the very nice compliment!

Well done, nice video and smooth flying, thank you for sharing!

Wonderful video.
Was it all flown manually (because it is very smooth!)

Thank you! I must confess, I was flying with the Litchi app. My first real flight with the automation.

Aha, that explains the super smooth footage.
Nevertheless it looks very great!

Ahhhh, o.k.   Well that goes to show how little I know about farms, hahaha.  Thank you for clarifying that.
