This poor neglected part of the forum 😉

Got myself a drone a few weeks ago and having a lot of fun with it. Wanted one for photos and just learning but here are some samples!

I'll be honest I still freak out a little any time I take it over water but the more I fly it the more confidence I have. My other fear is it being attacked by a bird but it hasn't happened.....yet 😉

I have never looked into it but I bet building your own would have quite a sub culture...I do know however carbon fiber sheet is readily available for CNC projects is quite beautiful, very strong and light.

What drone did you buy Brad? I ended up buying a dji phantom 4 obsidian after asking here and doing more so doing some  homework. It is an absolute weapon but I'm yet to master the footage fine tuning. I think you need to be savvy with camera settings? I made the mistake of trying some settings that Bendigo aerial suggested from you tube but now it's far from ideal for me personally. This is a little clip from the girlfriends place out the back a little way into government land I'm assuming

I ended up getting a DJI Mini SE.

Most of the features of the DJI Mini but cheaper. Didn't want to outlay a tonne of money and decide I didn't like it.

Photo mode is currently in Auto but I've just bought a filter set to try ND and CPL filters. I want to see if I can get even better pictures although I have no complaints. Filters really come in their own for video footage but I've not done a lot of that yet. Its really about capturing movement etc.

Here's a sample video. No filters, default settings and no editing. Still just testing

A few pictures from this mornings session. These are taken with an NPL filter attached. I'm no expert but I can't see a big difference

Love Maggie. Been there twice hiring a house for two families at Geoffrey Bay. Thats where that pic of the leaning boulder is. Did the Forts walk on a stinking hot day- never again - LOL.

Is that 1st pic. Nelly Bay?? Last time I was there it looked nothing like that.

Yes Jeff, 1st pic is Nelly Bay!

I would never do that forts walk on a hot day. It eventually hit 31 degrees yesterday when I did it but by then I'd well and truly finished it!
