I must be getting brave heading out over 3km of open sea but I think it was worth it.

Interested to hear any tips about exposure. I often have trouble at Sunset/sunrise-usually overexposing. You can see that in the later clips of the castle.

Anyway, enjoy ;)

Great video

Great video

Stunning scenery. Great video me thinks.  Try using landscapre sunny and cinema modes.

Very nice ..... but how legal is it?

I thought it had to be withing sight, less than 500m away and a max of 400ft altitude in the UK.

Thanks.

I guess that would be the case were I not following it in my boat

I will give that a shot, thanks

"I guess that would be the case were I not following it in my boat"

Great retort.   I was wondering if maybe you weren't out there in a boat.

No way I would have flown 3km even if I had the ability to do so.  Not over the ocean anyways.

What I really liked about your video was the choice of music from Inception.  

Here's mine, except I changed from Sunny to cloudy but used landscape and cinematic modes.

Looks like a stunning part of the world.
I'm going to have to play about a bit more with the exposure modes

Good job at keeping the boat out of shot even with a 360 orbit.

My furthest so far is 1.6km and like you was following in a boat. {:4_181:}

What I like is all the video's people post from other parts of the world. I live in a head hunting tribe. Although head hunting is no longer allowed.

COU Tribe from Alishan Taiwan.  One of the lasses brought me back and kept me as a slave.  

I'm just starting out so over the next few months will be doing lots of video's.   One day I will learn how to edit and put lots of small clips together hahaha

Nice private location

Here's my video setup.   By the way I also reduced the gimble tilt speed to 25 and the left rudder to 30. This slows the tilt nicely and also slows the rotation of the drone both left and right.  It will help when you want to do some slow rotations shots. I also put a tie through both of the rubber gimble slots as I lost 2 already.

At least if I hit another gust of wind the gimble wont lose those little buggers.

Didn't think of changing the fumble tilt speed - great tip.

Yes I found slowing the tilt speed for adjusting the camera to a slower setting really made the shots better.  
In the beginning they were too jerky but that was my fault as used to much stick.

Also the two sticks on the controller, unscrew the top part, raise it up, the the bottom part screw up the the top, it lengthens the stick, meaning you need more input if fingers moving top of stick. Another way to slow down commands.

Here's a new vid I took today with the new settings to slow rotation and gimble.

Liked the video, great location where is it in the UK? would like to pay it a visit

It's a beach called Seacliff not far from North Berwick, about 30 miles East of Edinburgh. It's a beautiful spot with a great beach and Tantallon castle is well worth a visit too.

Caution flying this location early spring/summer a major sea bird colony breeding site

Just stunning!

What Phantom did you use? Resolution? Great Video.

Nice video.

Thanks.  You can see I can do the rotation and tilt a lot smoother and slower.  This previous bridge was destroyed during a typhoon. The water was the width of the valley and was as high as the ramparts, rushing at great speed and bringing millions of tonnes of boulders which just obliterate everything.

Also the people in my village like these shots too.  Also the next time there is heavy rains I can drone out after the rain stops to check some of the surrounding areas for landslides.  Waiting on arrival of the ARGtek antenna which should give me 2km plus range.

Really great scenery and flying ...

Thanks for sharing ...

Nice job! Thanks for sharing.
