Playing with quickshots today MA2

[A.O.]

So I've been flying about a month now and finally got up the nerve to try some of the quickshots on my BFO MA2. I've been kind of afraid to try them and not be in control of my drone so I went out in my practice field and gave them a go!
I have to admit on the first couple I bailed and hit the big red X to stop them in the middle!!! Finally did them all, learning what I could as I went. So when I got to asteroid, not knowing what exactly it did, it got way up there and the camera started going wild on me (when I got back in and did some research I see it was supposed to!) any way I bailed on that twice.. thought it was going bad! Cant wait to get out tomorrow and try again!! I'm also going to try out those focus track options!

For kicks, today...

Looks like an excellent practice area.

Looks like an excellent practice area.

Yes, 10 acres and wide open!

Sorry A.O. your nice truck isn’t the right color!

(I watched a bit of an old movie “Whikey, Tango, Foxtrot” in which a reporter from the states goes to Afghanistan. Anyway, she’s ready to accompany a Marine patrol when a marine stops her because of her orange backpack. Something made me think of your color.)

But seriously, thanks for your post. I’ve only dabbled with Circle and understand the feeling of unease.

Practice makes perfect and the only way to correct errors, feel comfortable, and get better.

For me, I am always practicing. ?

Did the same the other day A.O. You can get some good shots
using the different modes. It's weird watching the drone do it's
thing while having no input yourself. The focus track is brilliant,
i set it up walked around the field at it followed my every move.
Even when i started to jog about it kept up perfectly......great fun.
It's funny if you suddenly stop turn round and walk fast towards
the drone, it still manages to stop and reverse back in time to avoid
you....?

Can be a be scary to start with but once your confidents grows with the drone you can get some great shots!

Yes, I tried to find an orange one, but to no avail, sorry.

If you are like me you will have your finger on the abort button!! Weird watching that thing flying itself.. didn't want it to fly into anything, and I wasn't real sure where it was going!

Yeah, focus track will be my next experiment right after re-trying that asteroid thing.

Agreed, practice is a good thing. I was a motorcycle riding instructor for a number of years and its amazing what a bit of practice will do for you. That, and I'm still trying to figure out all this thing will do.

It is very scary sometimes!!!!! Took me a month to even try this stuff!

You can trust them all. Just be careful of your height surroundings ie trees and wires etc. I use a couple of them pretty regularly, and they add a little extra to your videos.

I think the quick shots are fun to play with, learned a lot by just experimenting with them, I also have a wide open area to fly. Lesson learned with a previous drone be careful with power lines, mine went to return home mode and was underneath a power line and before I could gain control it flew into the line

I seem to stay closer to the trees side of the field than the power line /road side.. I can see the trees better, but thanks for the heads up.
