Phantom 4?

[atl1wheelin]

@fabuz I am waiting for the Lily as well but @njcustom please give us a review and some video once you get your Phantom dialed in as I would love to hear the pro's and con's.

Just think - the ultimate selfie. Riding your OneWheel while controlling your drone and taking a picture of yourself!

@mranderson You need to bring that thing to a meetup! When's the next one you can make it to? We're all going out tomorrow.

Check out Airdog.com I've got an extra for sale it's 1599. Shipped I also own phantom 4 and inspire. The Airdog is what you want to be able to film yourself. Pm me if your interested

I've got a Lily on order too, but looking at the airdog.com videos has got me wondering if these things won't be able to follow you close enough or low enough to make really compelling videos. I never thought of that issue before and had just assumed they'd be buzzing 10' over your head or something like that. Hopefully this will get sorted out, as these airdog shots (as awesome as that technology is) aren't anywhere near close enough for what I was hoping for...

its 10 meters as a follow distance but shot in 4K you can crop quite nicely, Also you can run preset up lines before hand and allow yourself to become closer at points. Its all in the editing :) but as far a self piloted drone its "airleash" is way above and beyond what other drone/flying camera companies have available.

@adm521 do you have the airleash?

Finally got to take the phantom 4 out today.. It was absolutely everything and more then I expected!!! I literally Sat in my backyard and flew it about 2 miles away with no issues.. I didn't try the active track yet.. The quality is just incredible.. I highly suggest this bad boy!!

[thegreck]

@njcustom Yes, I want it!

[njcustom]

@thegreck took me forever to figure out how to upload videos.. I'm am terrible with computers.. It's one thing I'm not good at lol.. Anyways here is my first video!! I fly over some moving trains and a house that just burned down several days ago..

@njcustom Oh man, that's SO F#CKING RAD! It's so smooth, I love it!

Where's my wallet? Haha.

@njcustom
Awesome footage!

[njcustom]

@thegreck it's unbelievably smooth..it's pretty heavy too so the wind doesn't affect it much..

[germx]

@njcustom That's great footage indeed. Would it work if not riding in an open field you think?

[njcustom]

@germx it should.. It has 4 cameras just for obstacle avoidance

[dcarstens]

I picked up a P4, but have been frustrated to find it very difficult to fly it anywhere in Los Angeles without running afoul of some authority!

[njcustom]

@dcarstens that sucks man.. I've had a few cops ask me questions but nothing serious..

Semi long distance flight from my yard to the park a little over a half mile away..

@njcustom How does it keep track of you when you set the controller down? Also, it's funny the look you have when the Phantom gets really close after you altered it's follow proximity.
