Between a new baby and taking a league president position with my sons  baseball league I decided to take on a little side project putting  together a video from a few months of toying around with my I1 during  the games.

Some of the shots are done with the X3 which I am  very familiar with and then some were done with the X5 which being a  different perspective I am going thru the learing process of a different  perspective to the shots. But all of the shots were done with the  I1.  I picked up an OSMO but still a leaing curve there and all of the  footage from the OSMO was useless.

I can say it is nerving that  even when organized for the video to have the feeling that these kids  were going to use the drone as a target. lol...   But had two spotters  that were both pilots and kepts everytihng as safe as we could with the  support of the league.  Enjoy

Very nice share!! Thank you and good job  

Baseball has been very good to me....

Thanks rich.

I can say I was more nervous on that shoot than I had ever been. Was waiting for just one ball to find its B-line right into my bird

I was thinking about that on some of the close ups.... Well done.... I bet now flying over the water is a piece of cake

I'll take a flight over water again any day before another shoot like that.

Speaking of which I need to get back out to treasure island again with the new camera and do that entire shoot again.just sucks I wont have the same copilot again.

Fred great work I  see some of the inspire shadow on the field  that's cool it seemed the kids didn't even notice the bird.
Good job

Thank you. Yeah you can do you best to keep try to avoid the shadows but chasing baseballs and not being a target to one was a much bigger priority. Lol

As far as it not bugging the kids both of the games shot were special games hosted just to do the shoots for the video as I wasn't going to risk it affecting a regular season game.

The parents and the kids all loved just having the opportunity to take part in it.

When went to the link there was  a vitamin or supplement add is that a good product you use it or it just what it is !

It is a very enjoyable task. The more you practice the more confidence you will gain and it really gets to be a lot of fun and relaxing at that point.

Very nice video, and some close proximity flying too, I would have been too scared to have my aircraft hit with a baseball

Ken, no kidding. Not going to lie, I was holding my breath and praying.

I would have to dig thru the footage again by there is one shot where the I saw the ball coming straight for me when I was hovering above.and behind the pitcher and I took a hard pull the the right and you see the ball zooming by the left side.  Come to find out it looks closer than it was but I was flying fpv with two spotters and thru the screen it scared the heck out of me. Lol my spotters though I was crazy
