I'm a bit of a novice but I do have an excuse for the lack of stabilization, this was my first drone which had constant compass errors so I was having trouble keeping it stable and fighting the toilet bowl effect, etc. Anyway, the light coming through the fog and smoke was awesome. I took off from the parking lot of my work.

Very Good, I like the sun rays coming through the pines.

Very nice!

Welcome to the club!

Thanks! Just wish there weren't so many regulations on flying in parks.

Nice composure. Keep at it, and it will continue to improve over time.

Wonderful scenery.... ;-)

You can blame the idiots who need to be controlled. Unfortunately Multi-Rotors attract these kind of people and then trouble starts.

You only have to go back a while to the Idiot flying in New York Streets amongst people ... who actually had a collision during it ... the kid who larked about with a GUN mounted on his model ...... the guys flying to get good photos of forest fires - which grounded all firefighting aircraft .....  just examples that spring to mind

Love this

Hey, I'm also a bit of a noob. We have to start somewhere. Awesome footage, I as well like the morning rays coming through the trees.

Yes, I know, I have been very careful with mine in making sure I'm staying over vacant areas and always within line of sight. I'm increasingly trying to figure out creative types of shots that take advantage of the drones vantage point but that would not be considered dangerous. We need to lead the way in the hobby!
