Are you getting any Christmas goody’s for your drone 2018

[Porky]

I have a 128gb hd on my MacBook Pro.....I need more storage lol

All my photos, I’ve not put the wife’s on yet has taken up about 150gb so it’ll only be a matter of time the problems start? plus taking photos in “raw” takes so much more memory. It’s nice to have them all backed up, just in case??

Ive not done any vids yet but when I start who knows what’s gonna happen.

Best to be safe than sorry I suppose?

I knew there was a guy on a stand-up paddle board so I tried to find him at 300+ feet, hard to do on an Ipad mini 4 in sunlight, but he is there, plain as day! ?



I zoomed in a bit.....



Then I messed with exposure, zoomed a bit more, and voila!


Paddler goes south to calmer waters with a nice backdrop.

Nice photos ? and we’ll spotted. We get loads of those paddle board people on the river here. They seem to go round in gangs of two’s and three’s, interesting watching them though.

I think I was lucky with the weather, partly cloudy all day. It was a bit breezy but nothing to worry about.

Again we both caught the sun, you don’t realise until you get home?

Glad you like the photo, just couldn’t believe how calm the water was, hence the nice reflections.

Now that’s the good thing with my new flying spot, a two minute walk and I’m there. Didn’t need my landing pad, took off from the path along the sea wall. The other good thing, no body about, Yay......... ????? no bloody ?.......

Looks like we’ve got a lot of rain heading our way dad, just checked my rain radar screen, looks like Wales has got it now or will do shortly. Rain pushing up from the English Channel will hit our side of the country, early hours tomorrow.

Something to look forward to in the morning... ??

typical UK weather just when you think its going to get better it gets worse

Been up for about an hour now, it’s absolutely chucking it down here.... well I suppose the only good thing about it, my garden definitely needs it as I live in one of the driest parts of the country??

Just let our two cats out to do there odd jobs (number 1’s and two’s) now I’ve got to contend to this??

GF told me she read the manual and was ready to fly MP2 Z. I wanted to give pop quiz but she said no.
Trust me she said. ? It was a big step in our relationship. A harrowing but safe and successful
15 minutes. No injuries were sustained. ?

Another new drone flyer in the wings, Mrs ? I can definitely see another drone making its way via post to your address?

Did Mrs ? enjoy it? Mrs P doesn’t fly mine but she enjoys coming along with me, I suppose just to keep me company. Plus side, if anyone does come along for a chat she engages with them instead of me so I can concentrate on flying.

Nice photo of Mrs ? at the controls??

Sorry I should have said Miss ? my bad??

Miss ?, I like it! I am lucky in that Miss ? likes to come along too so long as its not too cold or windy in which case she prefers to wait in car with heater on but says she will watch. ? She is semi-interested in flying herself but is scared of crashing so very conservative and cautious. Miss ? is also real good with crowd control which has helped us meet some very interesting people along the way. I think I should just let her fly my repaired MP 1 (as soon as she produces proof of insurance).

I think Miss ? and Mrs P are very similar, she stays in the car if it’s to cold too but always with me when I’m flying. Think they definitely fill the cold more than us.

Now that’s a good idea about your MP1, get Miss ? insurance sorted then the sky’s the limit, so to speak? you’ve just need to reassure her that if she starts to panic, let go of the controller sticks, as you know the drone will just hover?

I’ve decided to go for one of these for my b/day present. It comes unpopulated some I’ll need to buy two drives for it. Looking at 4tb x 2, should have to worry about storage then.
