I sailed with Eddie (previous comment) to Saltford and share his enjoyment this vid. What control and quality, obviously very well thought out. Excellent! I have have looked on RU-vid to see if the pedant Jack Johnston (see below) has any posted videos. No luck. Just curious if he has any as good as this one! I doubt it.
Richard Williams Thanks for your kind comments. I am pleased that you enjoyed the video. I try to plan exactly what shots I want and then refine it further with the editing. It's great fun.
Being im from Bristol and just got into Drone filming this is truly amazing howere i aint doing this and getting me drone confiscated unless i can fly yours lololol well done for not getting into trouble...ATB can i steal you footage for my channel lololol Thanks agian absolutely amazing, Thumbs Up
Adventure Madness UK yes feel free to share my video. Thanks for the thumbs up. This was nearly four years ago and it was videoed in four separate sections and then knitted together in the editor. I have been flying this type of equipment for several years. I know what can go wrong and more importantly what to do about it. Have fun and fly safe.
Thank you for your kind comment and request. Yes I allow you to use my video on condition that it is understood that I received no reward for this other than possibly a credit in your video. Again, thank you for asking :-)
Be very very careful flying over congested areas and roads like this. I'm a licensed flyer in Bristol and would hate to see Phantoms getting bad press if it were to crash into people or cars. You should always keep your rig in visual line of site and away from people buildings.
Thank you for your comments. When you say that you are a licensed flyer is this the Pilot Qualification (BNUC™ Standard) ? Where is there an indication in this video that I could not see "my rig in visual line of sight (not site)"? My craft is always in visual contact with myself or my wife - at all times! I am very aware of the risks at all times. I survey the areas prior to carrying out my sorties using Google Maps and to plan exactly what I am going to film and from what angle and approach. I never fly when there is ANY wind. On this occasion I was over water for 99% of the time and the risk of failure was very small. I have iOSD and monitor GPS and battery capacity at all times. I do not use FPV goggles, but I do use an FPV 7 inch monitor. The craft is in excellent condition and ALWAYS checked prior to every flight. I also consider the risk (risk assessment) of where I will bring the RPV down in the event of a problem - BEFORE I take off. Any unusual manoeuvres are practiced repeatedly over large open areas prior to performing the real flight. I am not new to tis activity and I have quite extensive experience of flying this craft. In addition I also have £10m third party insurance. I believe that I have taken all "reasonable" care and I can show due diligence in my activities. I have run and own my own Avionics design company for 28 years and I am probably more aware of the causes of systems failures than most people in the UK. So, like you I am very concerned about Phantoms getting bad press. I don't need to point out the 1000's of videos on here than demonstrate total dis-regard for safety and in fact seem to think it is funny to crash into property, fly as high as possible or close to people, etc., etc. I am not one of these operators and I take my hobby and responsibilities very seriously. I trust that this answers your question and concerns?
