Phantom 3 Standard. Hours of YouTube video's. Lots of flight simulator time and some short flights to get acquainted with the aircraft. Finally the weather cooperated enough to bring the bird to a friends campground where I practiced some of the maneuvers I'll need to use while filming moving subjects. I recorded 6 minutes and because it was boring, put it to music.
Winds were light out of the west at 10 to 12 knots
Max altitude 200 ft.
I am blown away at the stability of the platform. You could hear the rotors speeding up and slowing down as the copter did it's station keeping yet the video is rock solid.
I can't wait to get good at this.
