That's awesome. Do you do it with Google maps or actually walk/drive around? Sorry to ask so many questions, but I love your result and want to get better myself.

Both actually! I create a 3D map in my mind.

Love this. Is this on Mavic?

Thanks. Yes it is!

Which is the maximum range of the Mavic in your videos ?.

Between 5 to 10 kilometers

Between 5 to 10 kilometers

Distance from home or total amount?.

Swedrone Posted at 2017-6-18 10:12
Thanks for the input folks, makes me wanna keep on flying

No, thank YOU for bringing us this vid! It's amazing to catch glimpses of other countries, which is one of the reasons I love this forum. Your vid was very smooth and well put together

Nice and gentle footage.
Beautiful city buildings too.

Very nice; would you mind telling me what the title of the music is?

But you are allowed in Sweden to fly it over the city, but it´s your own responsibility. Try to avoid crowds (that´s more then 5 humans gathering) that also goes for crowds of horses and hounds.
Denmark is a bit more restricted when it comes to highways, infrastructure and the royal family (you need to know where they are at all times). Norway have nice fjords but tons of people out hiking in the woods so be extra careful there. It´s also a risk that you come face to face with an icebear, but you should be able to scare them off with your drone, or just by shouting and wave your free unused arm

Awesome footage. I too wondered about flying in Sweden legally - read about a nonsensical Swedish law classifying drones as surveillance cameras, and thus prohibiting their use, so I did not take a chance flying there.

How do you plan your flights, vantage points for the best signal?

Flying in Norway is ok as long as you are 50 meters away from people/buildings/cars in any direction, and stay below 120m and in LOS.

Since 1st of August it´s not a surveillance camera anymore. And for EU nationals the rules of UE apply.
I generally scout the area by google maps and on the ground, then create a 3D image in my mind. Try to find a elevated vantage point for "insertion" avoid crowds of curious people.
Happy flying!

It´s Ennio Morricone!

Great news! Hopes Swedes are not hard on Norwegians, even though we are not in EU
I watched your footage of Oslo - great flying there! I am curious as to what happened at about 8 minutes, when you were behind the Steria building? By a sharp turn (when the rest of your footage is smooth), it looked like Mavic lost connection with RC and initiated RTH?

Yeah that´s what happened. Lost the signal there. Usually it flies by when behind a building but not this time

Thanks for that!

Mycket vacker, I really love this!

Another one on the same theme...14 minutes +

Wow, also very very nice.
Where were you standing (could you keep line of sight)?

now i want to visit sweden...

Same feelings!

Dirty Bird Posted at 2017-6-18 22:35
10.4 miles - 22 minutes in 9:38 with ZERO cuts!

Very nice flying!

I like planning out my flights as a continuous mission...a mini adventure of sorts.  Definitely simplifies editing!

https://youtu.be/0Fl0e91hAi4

Wow, amazing video's!

Swedrone Posted at 2017-6-29 05:33

I am new to this.  Would you mind sharing your stick settings and video params????

One question (en fråga): do you fly manually or with a programmed flight path?

I only fly manually

That is very nice. I really admire your flying skills

My settings are "tripod mode" based. I have also tuned sports mode in a similar fashion to allow for fast transports and still being able to turn without to much of jerkiness.

Harre Gud!! Geez... How far did you fly the drone from where you were positioned ?  Thats truly fantastic footage. Well done !

Thanks. Well it was within "line of sight"

Some realy nice work there,thanks for sharing.

Nice! Practice makes perfect. Aren't you afraid of spending a considerable time in Oslo fengsel?

Amazing all round video - really well done!
