I already have a Drone - Put a Mavic Air in your life, first steps and the dilemma of flying a drone in Berlin, Germany.
I imagine that many people know my series "I'm going to buy a Drone" where I described the process I followed to buy a drone. Well, it turns out that I already have it and that's how to start this new series.
Welcome the new Mavic Air or "Blackie", as I call it.
It's nice huh? :)
And well, as I predicted in the old series ...
... I bought it with money that came out of the Steem blockchain, something I am deeply proud of.
But of course, now that I have the drone ...
... What can I do with him?
During the weekend I saw some videos about the Mavic Air to go warm. These are some of the videos.
First of all, the DJI tutorials for Mavic Air.
Some videos about new Smart Modes.
This general tutorial for beginners.
And many others more on how to get more fluid movements with the drone.
And well, now the next question is ...
... where do I fly it?
Because living in Berlin that can be a problem. In fact, already in all Germany there is a limit of 100 meters of altitude for drone flights and in addition, the metal plate with your name and data is mandatory for any drone weighing more than 250 grams (any drone with camera) to from the beginning of this year.
I had already bought mine two weeks ago ;)
These days it has been very cold but today the sun came out and I decided to go to the park to finally try the drone and try to put into practice what I already know about flying drones. The truth is that I'm not new to this but I've always had drones without GPS or anything like that, not even a good camera, so this is the first one that I bought from that style.
And of course, in the park, limitations began due to being in a restricted area. The drone can not be passed 30 meters high nor can it be moved more than 50 meters away from the control command, that adjustment is automatic, imposed by DJI if you light a drone in the center of Berlin.
So you know, if you want to fly at a great height and distance in the middle of the city of Berlin ... I do not think it's possible.
And the result where is it? I'm sure many of you will ask ... hehehehe, it's coming, here I leave the video with what I film today. I really could not shoot much because I forgot to buy a good micro SD card but it comes tomorrow with some ND filters. And everything paid with Steem. Thank you very much @dantheman and @ned for this.
And now, today's video.
Do not forget to see it in 4K format. Although your monitor is not that format does not matter, you can still see the change in the quality of the video.
I will be updating my progress with "Blackie" through this series of publications called "I already have a Drone". I'm sure Blackie and I will have many future moments of happiness and personal development! XD;)
I waited 2 months for this :D I thought that you weren't going to buy one in the end but you actually did
What???!!! XD Of course I did. And saved the money needed for extras also ;) Landing pad came today and PolarPro ND Lens 8-16-32 and fast micro SD card are coming tomorrow ;)
I am a man of my word, and when I get serious ... I get serious :P I really love to fly this thing, it is really fun.
Good! And also good that you bought all those extras :)
It took me 2 months ... the wait should not be just for fun ;)
Hammer ! Freue mich auf mehr Drohnenvideos von dir aus BLN...
Danke!!! :)
Me alegro mucho por tu nueva adquisición ;p
Me preguntó por qué poner la plaquita esa, si no la pones puedes evitar problemas no deseados, no? (pensamiento español jajaja)
Unos movimientos muy suaves y una estabilidad increíble. No sé si la lentitud de los movimientos es fruto de volar un dron nuevecito por primera vez ;)
Un saludo!
Y muy cubano también jajajajaja pero estoy en Alemania y desde el 1ero de Enero del 2018 la plaquita es obligatoria si tu dron pesa mas de 250 gr. Sino multa que tu conoces.
Y lo de volar suave es que eso es lo que quería probar, el viento ayer era de 25 km/hora, mucho viento y así y todo mira lo fluido que es el cabrón, no quería volar rápido sino lento y fluido. Además, estaba en el parque y estos alemanes se ponen pesados a veces :P ...
Abrazo!
Jajaja, pues entonces un resultado excelente el de ese pequeño. Estoy deseando ver más ;)
Abrazos, nos vemos muy pronto.
Hey, mega Gratulation. Habe ebenfalls eine Mavic Air und freue mich auf den Austausch an Erfahrungen.
Meine Videos sind hier ein Asteroid und mein Sonnenuntergangsflug und quasi Unpack Post.
Bin heute gerade bei dem tollen Wetter wieder geflogen und muss mal schauen was von dem Video Material überhaupt verwertbar ist.
Hello @juanmiguelsalas
