..... Wife decided we needed to walk one of our dogs outside of our own 3.5acres ....

Uzava - about 20 mins drive down the coast ... and still has some of the old Soviet Defences ...

As some know - I am also trying to sort out my lack of knowledge and expertise in setting camera ...

I can fly reasonably - its the photographic bit that eludes me.

So yes - I agree maybe a bit long - but I am actually using these to practice and try to learn camera use. Posting here and other is actually not primary goal.

Enjoyed the video. I think you're getting the hang of it. If I may suggest, try adjusting your EXP, gain, &  sensitivity a bit to a lower setting. I found by doing this it will soften your stick inputs, allowing for smoother panning. I hope not to offend you, but some of the shots appear a little jerky and very fast when turning. I had the same thing until I experimented with these settings. I think most would agree what you want is a nice smooth and fluid movements. hope this suggestion makes some sense. Thanks for sharing. Nice country.

I am aware of Expo etc. - I have 8 other radios and over 53 set-up ready to fly / boat / drive models ...

The jerky movements are really mine - I fly a lot of fast and 3D - which makes me react and its a habit I find hard to kick.  I already have quite a lot of expo / yaw reduction dialed in - that sometimes espcially at distance it feels AC is not turning. With the low sun (high latitude) - its difficult to see the screen.

Today I was out with Histogram and playing around - slowly getting there I think !!

I agree about it being too long.  Also, try to slow down your yaw.  Give your viewers time to see what you're circling past.  Best of luck.

Well done, I've just spent far too long at the PC painstakingly editing another video to look cinematic (stuck indoors due to rain), so I enjoyed watching your honest video, keep up the good work.

Great effort, beautiful dog.

Lana is a mix breed but mainly German Shepherd (Alsation). She's about 4yrs old now - given to us when young.

I grew up with thoroughbred German Sheps ... and know they are clever and loyal. Lana is in a world of her own. Totally devoted to us.

She has a mind of her own and will argue. If you tell her off - she will growl back ! She loves people but barks a lot.

We have 3 big dogs including her and 4 cats. The latest cat (3 months old now) - Lana mothers and protects from the others, so much in fact - we have to put her out of the room to allow new cat (Emmik)  to play with the others !

Emmik :



Lana is incredible. She literally tries to talk to us ..

Lana :



Every morning she pesters me to make a fuss for at least 5 minutes before she will leave me alone.

I have never seen a dog act like her .... its as if its a person trapped inside a dogs body !

looks a little brisk out there solentl. Maybe just hang the dog lead on the clothes line. Interesting & watchable by the way.

We are actually experiencing warm winter ... it should have been -20 ... -25C already but seems we are not seeing that this year. We are hovering in the -10 up to 0C range now ... which means we get dumps of snow off and on.

Forecast is for another week of this ...

Dogs don't care - they love it.
