Another Attempt at Aerial Photography - Drone Footage From Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort

in #dtube8 years ago


Here's another short clip of my attempt at aerial photography with my drone, a DJI Mavik Pro. This was taken the other day while the majority of the family were on the slopes at Schweitzer Ski Resort in Northern Idaho. You can take a look at the posts by @fullofhope Snowboarding- First time! AND @gringalicious post Ski Day on Schweitzer Mountain! - Gringa Adventures Series

As you'll see, I have a lot to learn, but as I said in one of my previous posts, I'm posting this to at least make record of my progress.

I will also say, that buying a drone in the winter, well, I am not sure how well this plan was thought through. When I launched the drone on this day, it immediately gathered a lot of attention, so I had to answer all sorts of questions and by the time the curios on lookers had subsided, my hands were frozen. You have to have bare hands in order to control things on the touch screen, and yes, I know there are supposedly gloves out there that will work, but they don't, I've tried a few and they just don't work. You can fly with gloves, but you can't affectively take good photos and video without controlling several features on the touch screen.

Let's just say that I'm looking forward to the progress I'll make once it gets warmer. But, don't fret, I'll be making many more attempts even though it's killer on my hands.

Thanks to those that haven given me tips, please give me more!

Well, it's better than the last one. I can see that you are making progress

Thanks for the encouragement @gringalicious. I will keep working at it for sure

Thanks so much for the tip. I need all the help I can get

My husband has been talking about getting a drone. I have seen lots of vids on them on which ones to buy/avoid and tutorials. They actually look like fun!

It is a ton of fun, but I must admit that I was ( still am ) very ignorant as to how deep this hobby can be. There is a ton to learn, from flying, aerial video all the way through video editing. All of it new to me and it is a bit intimidating, but, I'm going to conquer it

me too! It's really hard to fly in this weather. My hands get so cold that it's really painful. Like I said, I'm not so sure how well this plan was thought through
