First Drone Flight
37.77504˚ N, 122.51056˚ W
With a westerly wind of 15-20 knots, it seemed like a good day to try out the drone in windy conditions without the risk of losing it completely. The drone had to angle itself to hold its position against the wind, which meant the footage wasn’t level. I’m sure fancier drones probably have some way to compensate for this.
Am I a total n00b when it comes to flying a drone? Yes.
Is it a glamorous video? No.
Would you have laughed at me if the first and only drone video from the trip was a splash landing in the South Atlantic? Probably.
We all gotta start somewhere…
