Thread: Working on long range flight

Been working on flying further, farther, longer, etc. I want to be able to do long establishing shots with the heli. It get's difficult to see it beyond 300feet, but I'm trying to have confidence in the on board flight stabilizer to keep it from smacking into the ground.

Here's a short clip from this morning. Nothing special.

I like the continuous smooth shot. When the heli-cam backs up suddenly (runner and dog) it really throws the viewer for a loop. Would be cool to see a fly-by heading up a mountain. Starts with trees, keeps heading up, skier comes and goes, keeps heading up to top of a peak following the skiers tracks.

Cool stuff.

Be pretty cool if you could zoom in on somebody's bedroom window

very very cool, the possibilities of never before seen type shots are endless, and not just for skiing movies..

Was running low on battery time, had to abort and land. The guy showed up at the end of the battery life (7 minutes).
