Greetings!
Just ordered a P4A for landscape photography and probably some video. Looking to gain vantage points around here in the beautiful Sonoran desert that are unattainable on the ground. Planning to use Litchi for some of the photo projects.
I'm new to DJI, but an experienced drone pilot (and licensed private pilot). My past drone adventures include DIY tricopters and a hex, running hobby king controllers and Ardupilot. I have run many drone missions and crashed many times, usually because I screwed up but sometimes because my dodgy DIY drones threw a prop or had some other mechanical or electrical failure. I have recorded some cool video, but eventually gave up on it because I was having trouble eliminating jello, and was not getting the endurance I needed to get the videos I wanted.
This time around, I am focused on the photography aspects, not so much the fly-around-and-crash-into-stuff aspects. I hope the expensive new toy will have a long and uneventful life. I'm thinking flying camera, not so much drone.
Gear:
This looks like a great forum. Cheers!
