New pilot in Texas

[Dxer]

Greetings everyone.

I have been involved with amateur photography for a couple of years now. Then last year I started with astrophotography. Now, I thought it would be fun to try some aerial photography.

So I bought my first drone yesterday. I picked up the Phantom 3 Standard. I took it out for a couple flights at our local RC park. No problems and I had a blast with it. I hope to provide some good footage with it once I get over the little learning curve.

I just hope to learn a thing or two from the veterans around here. I'm sure to run across a rookie question or two in the near future.

hello nice to meet you

 

[Dxer]

Thanks all for the information and have been reviewing it. Especially the manual. LOL

A question though about posting, I tried to post a couple of images from my maiden flight but couldn't figure out how to do it without a URL. Is there a way to upload images to here directly for posting? Or do I need to use like Flicker or photobucket and get a URL?

Is there a way to upload images to here directly for posting?

Click the "Upload a File" button (below the box where you type your replies) and select the image file you'd like to attach.

 

[Dxer]

Testing.

And thanks.

And if you click the "Full Image" button after uploading your image, it'll appear in your post like this:

Is that a Schumacher jump box on that table?

I own one of those and I am a newbie too. Great idea as I was thinking of buying a car charger. lol

Of course it's heavier than hell but a great power source.

 

[Dxer]

Yes sir, that is what it is. With the built-in USB ports and the inverter, it can keep everything I use charged up.
I use to for my astro imaging rig, now it can do double time to keep my quad in the air too. lol

 

[crsttfr]

Great idea and thanks again.
