Drone flight - Sunset over Augarten, Vienna
We took this aerial footage in Vienna in 2015 using a modded Phantom DJI II and a GoPro3 Sillver in Vienna's Augarten park.
Flying drones is fun!
Unfortunately we never did get to use it "for work" because a few months later the Austrian drone laws were made far stricter so a DJI II was no longer viable for commercial work. Alas!
Range and signal strength were enhanced along with a custom controller/scheme.

Wow! Diese drones faszinieren mich
hihi ja die fliegen so lustig...wie Insekten.
Ahhh..... why did the laws forbid drones??
Well, the law then said that in order to operate a drone for commercial use It would need to have at least 6 rotors and a 2nd independent control unit in case the main one fails. This is fine, you don't want it suddenly being uncontrollable or crashing because of the weight of the camera but it means that you are looking at a price category of over 10000€ to get a model that would be permitted for business. Overall the law makes sense really, while of course being disappointing for us.
