It looks like the tip-over on day 1 was caused by the poweregg moving to the left at touchdown. That will happen with most drones that are taller than their footprint.

Was that video segment jerky on your monitor before you uploaded to vimeo?

Jackson, your resources amaze me.

No. But most of us would at least like to remove wasted time like sitting on the launch pad for a minute before takeoff with the camera running.

You may want to check out these Apache Cases from Harbor Freight. They are well made & have that pluck a pattern foam inside.

You might as well set up a YouTube "channel".

I'm all thumbs.

Way to Go, Photojunky! It must have been a good feeling to see it fly again.

Nobody has ever confused me with a nerd, but I expect you will have the capability, not the requirement, to use 4K .

Since I'm not "filming" for the big screen, the only advantage I can see in setting up for4K is if you want to pull a still shot out to crop & enlarge. I now

You've gotten good advice so far-- start with a cheap toy to learn to fly. Later, you will want a quad with GPS to help you fight the wind in the Shenandoah Valley.

Are you shooting in 4K? As RENOV8R & ArmyVet mentioned, the write speed of the memory card is important especially w/ 4K. I use a SanDisk Extreme Pro with up to 90 MB/s write speed. You can also try setting your recording to a lower resolution, like 2K or even 1080. The open-source...

I'm pretty sure you can do better just by using the X-Star's "orbit function".

Avoid the word "drone". It tends to imply a suspicious endeavor. You have a camera platform that rises above the ground.

Ask them exactly which law they think you are breaking.

It's very clear & stable. What did you use for a camera?

So which way do they turn? We will give you 2 choices.

Tommy, I just googled sky quad pro v2 & found no mention of it having altitude hold. I think they would brag about it if the quad had that feature.

I'm not familiar with the sky quad pro v2, but I have 3 drones that hold altitude automatically when you release the left stick.
