Something new! Flying inside a forest between the trees!

Zorro · May 11, 2017

Wanted to make a different kind of dronevideo this time, and have thought long about learning to fly in tight areas and get more closeup filming. And flying inside a forest between the trees and among the treetops was the first video I wanted to make.
Asked around in forums for best AND safest settings and this is the settings i came up with.
I use a P4Pro, and used DJI NDfilter 8 and normal lens. Filmed in H.265 4k 30 fps

Tripod mode
Narrow sensing assigned to C1
Set to Hover if I lost contact.
And practise to get it smooth

I must say this is a fun way to fly, and you can get really cool shots with it!

U got a good pair .. I like the way u used the light and the perspective of near branches and far gigantic trees in same shots.....

Thanks alot. Hehe Was nervous when I started. And cut a few branches with my props but with more practice it worked out fine.

Woaah, that was nerve-racking, but good to see you managed it well and your AC is still in one piece.
Did you switch off OA?

Dangerous but great video footage. You passed too close to these trees.

No i kept the OA on, but used narrow sensing to squeese through the tight areas.

Thank you, it's always a risk flying close to objects, but I felt in control. The technology is very good.

Great video! But when in close proximity to trees and branches, even if you're cautious, it's a numbers game. Sooner or later you'll hit something. I'm talking from personal experience.
