    Default Some Videos From The Sky...

    Hi all,

    Just thought I would share with you some local video's using a quad copter...

    I'm still very new to flying this particular model of quad (Have flown others for years), and completely new at video editing, so please go easy.

    Plenty More to come, so if you like and want to keep up to date with my new video posts of the surrounding area, please remember to subscribe...

    Here is a link to my YouTube channel:
    https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCul...ke90G-SeWQDsaw

    Video 1 : Some shots of my parents house followed by my house.
    Video 2 : Some shots around Loch More (What a lovely place)
    Video 3 : Was down Thurso harbour today so got some nice video however still need to edit and render should be up within next few days...

    Enjoy

    Thats the new one up from Thurso Harbour and River...

    Going to be quiet over next week or so as im away from home ATM. Praying for some nice weather when I get home as have some nice locations in mind...

    Also waiting on spare batterys arriving as the short flight time on a single battery is a right pain...

    Remember to turn your settings on youtube up to 1080p for best quality...

    Glad you enjoyed
    &
    Most definately - I have so many places I want to visit with it - the problem is knowing where to start...

    I have a good few places on the list for this time im home in a little over a week, but need to keep fingers crossed for dry weather. Rain and expensive electronics dont mix too well

    Brilliant video - I loved it. I think you should add a link from the General section of this forum so that more people will see it.
    I am so envious, and I do not envy many things, however aerial photography is something I would love to be able to do, just amazing.
    Thanks for sharing and I tweeted about it so you may get more hits on YouTube.

    ... keep them coming!

    Thanks Very Much RichardJ... Your comments are very much appreciated. Some absolutely stunning sites here in Caithness and ive not even started to scratch the surface yet...

    I had planned to get Dwarick pier and Peedie sands today however was grounded most of the day with the wind out Dunnet way, however luckily later in the afternoon on my way home the wind had dropped a good bit I Got some brilliant video of a guy flying one of these massive kites on Dunnet Beach... I was too tired to start editing tonight so will do that one tomorrow.

    I'm still building confidence and learning lots about all the features on the copter. So hopefully the videos will keep improving as i get use to it more.

    If anyone has any suggestions on places they would like to see on video send me a PM or post on here and i will add to my list.

    Also im looking for 2 things that you guys may be able to help with.

    1) I want to get some footage of a stream or burn with plenty rocks, features and maybe even some mini waterfalls and such. I want to try and get the camera down low close to the water and take the copter upstream following said burn river... Any suggestions for a good one?

    2) Im looking for someone that wants to be filmed in a more action kind of film I was thinking along the lines of either moto X/Scrambler, rally type car, jetski, or even a speedboat or sailboat. If your willing to spend a couple hours with me and try to get some nice footage of you and your pride and joy in action... Please get in touch.

    Thanks and will keep you guys up to date with the new Vid's...
