I was waiting for a dinosaur to reach out of the trees and eat that thing up!

Nice toy! The Phantom II is a great drone and your plans with it should be well served.

Lee is right, I missed the VO.

One man's "silly" is another man's... WAY COOL!!!

So, tell me. Did you have to use any anti-shake software on the video or was it that incredibly smooth right from the original?

(loved it!) Laugh

thanks guys! i'm a little nerded out on this thing.

matt - we have 150 acres of, in my humble opinion, some of the prettiest land in the region. i was flying over (roughly) the northern 1/2. my cousin has 75 acres next door (his house, barn & goat pens in the video).

clutter (sorry, i don't know your real name!) - between the phantom & the gopro is a 3 axis gimbal that works REALLY well. i didn't do any stabilization in post. the gimbal also allows you to tilt the camera in flight.

frank - thanks for the early advice. the phantom II is SUPER easy to fly! that video is only the 4th time i've flown it and the first with video ... so i'll get better ... it's great for the novice.

jim - next time you're passing through give a shout!

Gorgeous stuff! Please tell me that you plan to include some drone footage of the next shoot-and-explody event at the farm.
