Es Foguero Palace Freestyle

[James JAB]

With only 6 lipo's available the challenge was on to explore this amazing location without destroying my one and only quad. For my quad I choose a full Gemfan power train using Maverick 24a DShot600 ESCs, Gemfan GT2205 2450Kv motors with Gemfan Windancer 5042 props, this combo I could be sure of reliability and performance whatever the conditions.

Special thank you to SliderFPV from DroneIsLife.co.uk for this edit. I have always wanted to see what someone else could do with my footage as I very often get quite a backlog of epic spots that need editing.

Hello James , All good and interesting but, I would like to see it's filming without editing or with minimum numbers of cadres .
Cheers

Josip - you have me there! What are "cadres" in this context, please?

[Dave Bran]

I think he means what I feel about it, it has too many sharp change and ultra brief edits. Some of it is very good, some for me hardly watchable, it doesn't flow for the viewer.

Good Spot though, jealous!!

[Josip Vrandecic -Mes]

Thanks a lot Dave ....that's what I was thinking

Cheers to all !

To John Robertson:shooting in one frame ,continuous shooting gives better and more visibility for the human eye.
Otherwise, ..... piloting is great

Hi All,

Thank you very much for your input, its great to hear feedback to hopefully improve the viewing for everyone

This is the first time someone else has edited my footage and I am very pleased with the result but do understand its not to everyones taste

Here is one continuous video, this was one of the 6 flights done at this site, everything was going well and then near the end I spotted a thin wire cable that I had luckly missed quite a few times before but in thinking about "wow Ive missed that a few times" I took my eye off the ball and went straight into the barrier lol it was awesome fun

"Run out of Luck"

Hello James, unlike most classic RC pilots, I appreciate and like drone filming , because my desire is a recording of my flights with RC models. That's why I made an observation only on the recording style ,and your style of flying is very good. I wish you all the best.

Josip - thanks for the explanation (08.38.oohrs). Once I cleared that mind-bug out of my brain I had a look at the original posting more comfortably! How on earth the laddie can fly like that beats me - I nearly expire flying my simple drone inside the house, I have to work so hard to keep it under control. The few occasions I have flown outside in near-calm conditions have shown me that it's not for me.

James JAB - as a former wedding videographer in a small way (albeit using three camcorders and a couple of DSLRs for stills) I have had a fair bit of experience of cutting video and getting paid for it. I rather enjoyed the original posted edit as I thought the cutter mixed the shots to the music rather well. I couldn't watch too much of this sort of thing as, like Josip (I think), I prefer more of a storyline. Zoom - zoom - whoosh style of presentation I leave to others, but then I AM getting on a bit! Nevertheless, I had no trouble at all watching the original post as the wife and I used to really enjoy fitting scenes to music and can appreciate other people's efforts.

On the question of location, I was going to ask where it was, but a quick Google cleared that one up. Which just leaves the question of the "thin wire cable". Sure enough, it's in shot at 01.52.
