My First Dronie ( A Selfie with a Drone )

in dtube •  7 years ago 


This is a real short clip of my first 'selfie' with my new drone. I am a super novice to the world of video production and to aerial photography. Not so sure I would consider this 'good' content, but I did want to test out dtube as well as start a record of my progression of learning how to produce good quality aerial photography and video.

I live in North Idaho, USA, where it's Winter already and it is cold. Bare hands on a remote control in this weather, well, it doesn't take long to loose feeling in the fingers. We don't have the snow yet, but it is cold.

Buying a drone this time of year, I am not so sure how good of an idea that was. But, it was a Black Friday deal that I could not pass up. I was very ignorant as to what all I was getting myself into. My intent is to not let this get the better of me and to dig in and learn everything that is necessary. I must admit to you, it's taking me longer than I anticipated and it is more difficult than I anticipated.

Thank you for your graciousness in allowing me to post this very short clip

Very cool!

Thanks so much @yummyrum!

Nice one!

Hey @juanmiguelsalas, I really appreciate you taking the time to comment.

You went pretty high and away from the house for being your first time! Not a bad job and the video looks super clear.

I am thrilled that you liked it. I know better quality will be coming soon, I hope to not disappoint!

To be honest, this is just fine:) I really like it. No weird movements, just a simple "zoom out". Keep on working on it

Thanks so much for the encouragement @mocore, I appreciate it!!

Don't get me wrong, but never seen mid-age man with the drone ;) Always good time for fun. Have fun..... I will do some Video/Photography tutorials, so if you got spare second take a look at my blog.

What? I'm 58, and I'm about to purchase one. Kinda like saying you've never seen a middle-aged man eat food. Weird comment.

Nice first shot with your mavic. This is my favorite drone on the market. I shot drone video too on steemit and youtube but I personnaly use the phantom 3 standard. You can go checkout my video and follow each other.

Thanks @shootout. I am now following you!

Cool.

wow, an upvote for a dot. I've never seen that before.

I just didn't know how to remove it :)

Cool.. would love one too to take some shots of the new house and jungle behind us! Have fun with it,... even though it might not be the right season!

Thanks for the great comment @amy-goodrich. Yeah, you have a lot of tremendous opportunity for a drone, I would imagine. That would be a great new aspect to your blog, have a daily aerial smoothie post - LOL . But seriously, I hope to get good enough to give some video aspect to some of what @gringalicious does. We'll see how it goes

Excelente, quisiera tener uno para explotar aún mas mi creatividad! Gracias por compartir.

Muchas gracias @jhelbich. Me gusta tus comentarios

Very cool!!!

I'd like to get good enough so that I can teach you how to fly @hotrod

That would be AWESOME!!!

You did great on your first aerial video! I've been wanting to get a drone, and it's gonna happen in the Spring. Thanks for your post. Upvoted, and you have a new follower!

That's awesome, a new follower. So sorry it took me so long to respond. I hope that drone shows up for you in the Spring, you'll love it

No problem, and yes, I know I'll love it. I had some experience with RC cars, and a little with fixed wing aircraft, so I'm more than ready for a quad.

Hehehehe ! Very cool! I am a novice as well to the world of technology. I am old school and it is hard for me to change. I just put up my first dtube vid yesterday. I plan to put up another this evening. Will see how it goes. BTW, I love your enclosed patio.

I think dtube is going to be a huge help to you. And, I was thrilled to see that you were able to sell some SBD, that had to feel great!?

Indeed @noboxes I needed that boost, inspiration and motivation. It was greatly welcomed. Yes, I am liking dtube to post and really enjoying watching others videos. Have a great day. Tess :)

Enjoyed watching that I think that if you're afraid of losing it somebody was flying one over our house the other day and it was real noisy

this has some noise to it for sure, however it kind of sounds like a weed eater which is super common in my area, or even a leaf blower. Thanks so much for the great commenting @rebeccabe

It's going to be difficult to get out when it gets even colder. You could send it down here and I could use it to send you photos of the beach! Okay! Okay! I am going now! I just thought it might be fun...lol

Down to the beach you say. Maybe I should come with the drone? - LOL. Thanks so much for the great commenting @cecicastor

LOL! Those were my precise thoughts!
