I've had my first drone the mp4 for a couple of weeks. Watched and read everything I could get my hands on and did some manual operating tests before diving in. The weather was not the best but it was more about the learning process than anything. I preprogrammed in this flight using waypoints from the comfort of my couch and then went out and flew it. Made a couple adjustments to height and gimbel and did a couple more passes. Edited using Davinci Resolve, sound from BensSound.com. Now I can't wait for the weather to improve.

Impressive first flight and footage.    That's a really nice marina.

Thank you Downtown, the m4p has so much to offer. It is going to be a great addition to my photography and showing off the Maritimes on the Canadian East Coast.Here was my first manual flight started out in a ball field and stretched my wings from there.

You're very welcome.

That was some interesting landscape and nice flying.  

Drones offer us the opportunity to do a lot of exploring and seeing things from a different perspective (aerial views).  

Nice scenery. I have the feeling I live in the wrong area (which is already pretty nice, though ).
Aren't the colors a bit "flat" or is it my screen?

Hey thanks SoP. The colors are very flat I filmed in D-Log-M 4K @60fps. I haven't worked though the coloring process in Resolve yet so they should improve greatly as I learn those steps next.
The landscapes in Nova Scotia are special and vary greatly depending on location. I have done a lot of digital photography here over the years. It is going to be just perfect for my drone. Unfortunately the national parks don't allow drone use but I know many an area where I can find some stunning footage, between the mainland and Cape Breton Island. Also I am heading to Newfoundland in July and the landscapes there are just as incredible. Cheers thanks for posting.

This is exactly what I was thinking - that you've been recording in D-Log-M without applying a LUT afterwards ;) Keep going, I am curious to see more!

Good effort and well done, you seem to have got the hang of it really quckly.

Those shots would look ten times better with a bit of sun and some blue sky or white fluffy clouds even.

Grey cloud cover always makes photos and video look a bit flat, so personally I don't tend to take any in it as I'm never happy with the results.

Cheers

I know Blackbuckone and today is gorgeous out and I'm stuck working lol. This Saturday is looking good though and I should have a chance to experiment with coloring by then. I was a bit of a gamer in my day, my avatar is from Descent 3 an old game that was almost exactly like flying a drone. As a result I think I caught on pretty quick lol. Cheers mate thanks for commenting.
Edit: I did up some colouring in Resolve. I think it is a lot better.

Looks nice!
