Filming Deer with the Mavic 3 Pro

Filming Deer with the Mavic 3 Pro

Ive bit the bullet and finally bought the awesome Mavic 3 Pro. First time out with it this morning, sunrise was a fail but on the way home I noticed a herd of deer in the far fields, so ofcourse, I just had to see what this 7 x zoom could do. I crept the drone low towards them over the fields and started recording. The details are insane on this camera, I was miles away! Yeah they could hear the drone but they werent skittsh or disturbed at all, this drone is made for wildlife. Still need to get used to the cinematic movements, totally different to FPV, but sure ill get there with some more practice. So far loving it

FLAMBOROUGH HEAD | Cinematic FPV GoPro Hero 9

FLAMBOROUGH HEAD | Cinematic FPV

Been wanting to fly here for ages! Visited a few times but either windy, raining or both so was real lucky to get these conditions. Such a nice location. Again the big bird doing me proud, 12 satelites straight away now and gps rescue works a treat. Did get nervous though first time through those arches, I was pretty sure signal was gonna go once behind the rock but held up solid, no worries. Harder than it looks power looping them aswell, they are huge in height! Or its just me thats lame lol. Need to explore more of this coastline. Good shout buddy and thanks for driving, go check his killer shots out @fastchrisuk on insta #flamboroughhead #fpv #drone

FPV

Sorry ive been quiet again, I have been busy diving into the world of FPV, First Person View drone flying. There has been ups and downs, plenty of crashes and stupidly expensive but its all finally coming together now. I would 100% recommend this hobby to anyone, its amazing. Just make sure you approach it right and do your research. Practising for months on the simulator Liftoff on your pc/console is a must before you even consider buying a drone. These arent like the standard DJI drones that hover for you and return to home and land, these are fully manual acrobatic quads that will drop out of the sky if you let go of the controls. Here is a video of my recent trip to Winnats Pass in the Peak District, this is exactly why I bought the drone in the first place, diving epic cliff faces and getting to see stunning scenery from a different perspective, the cinematic landscape footage you can capture from these drones is so cool. Let me know what you think and where you would like to see next, hope you enjoy.
