Coming in for landing

- June 25, 2014 By John & Be Leave a Comment

Landing the DJI Phantom can be tricky – especially if there is a breeze or you are descending onto an uneven surface.  We’ve had minor hiccups (the props temporarily acting as a grass strimmer on a few occasions).  We soon developed a ‘catch-landing’ routine.  Here’s Be getting ready for touchdown.

La Playa de Gulpiyuri is a small beach formed by a sinkhole from a clifftop field to the sea.  Saltwater is pushed up through a tunnel creating small waves.  It’s a unique place and National Monument.  But it can be a busy in summer, and after a few failed attempts, we eventually decided to visit early morning […]

The DJI Phantom 2 Quadcopter with Zenmuse H3-3D 3 Axis Gimbal. It sounds mighty impressive doesn’t it? Well, it does to me. In the 10 days leading up to our departure from southern England the phrase ‘dji phantom 2’ was typed into Google many, many times. Having seen some footage online (click here), we thought […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY

Photo of the Day - Otter, Beauly Firth, Inverness-shire. Strong winds hampered our day but we still managed great views of an otter... though he made us work hard.  The wind created continuous wave … [Read More...]
