My first recorded flight (other than the one in my back garden!)

I probably reduced the resolution by too much prior to uploading the video. I really love how easy it is to fly the Parrot, and how Touch & Fly means you don't need to remember which direction the drone is facing before hitting forwards. Best of all is the Flight Plan. I only wish I could create it on my laptop and sync it to the Android app.

Isn't this fun? What a cool little machine. As a photographer, I have only a couple of comments. Every shot but one was so nice and smooth. That shot was when you panned right to follow a car.....a bit too fast. I usually set the pan at 10 degrees per second unless I'm trying to follow cars or motorcycles, which I haven't done yet.

The other is that you could have used -1 EV to get a bit more saturation. In full sunlight I always use at least -1 EV.

For the net, the resolution is fine. I have started filming in 1080P at 24 fps which reduces the file size yet is still fine for viewing on a laptop screen. My 8 year old Lenovo can't handle 4K, it just stutters and jumps.

Very nice music, where did you get it?

Thanks for the nice comments! Being so new to this, I was kinda just stabbing at my screen and hoping that my parrot would move smoothly! I originally used a piece of music from the Filmora video maker program but realized it was loud and horrible, so I did a Google search for soft piano music Royalty free. Can't remember the site but it was probably the first result. I'll check out using -1 EV when shooting on bright sunlight - thanks for the tip.
