    My latest video

    Good on the battery, about 20 minutes. 4K is party of the issue, but even at 1080p I have to edit the video before applying any color correction or the playback gets all choppy

    Didn't know you had a thread on here. Hope I did your music just here. I was pointed to your site by a friend and fellow drontographer.

    Another Hello from S/E Michigan!

    Sorry, I only just now saw your quote of my post. Yes it is very close to the airport and I love very near Oakland County Airport. Far enough to fly as long as I don't venture North too far. Then there are the 400 heliports in our area.

    Practice at a local nature preserve

    A short video I put together just to practice editing. No that I know I can use Premiere Pro on my computer I may need to start shooting in D-Log so all the clips are flat and can be color graded the same.. if I understand how the process works... learning curve applied.

    Flying with a 300 foot rope attached

    You might look into building a transmitter/receiver with Arduino. After reading this thread I looked into it. There is a set that I think could easily be set up. Be more than your $5 Lego designed (which is awesome by the way) but would be a better long term solution.
