This is video of the second half of our Spring Break in March 2016. The weather was a little cool but nice. This was out first time camping at the Edisto Island State Park camp ground. It is not a bad camping experience but Hunting Island is still our favorite. Check out this video of the first part of our Spring break. I hope you enjoy the video.
Spring Break 2016 Part 1 at Hunting Island State Park
VideoMarch 2016 we were lucky enough to get 2 nights at our favorite camping destination we usually do 4 nights but couldn’t get it this time so we split our vacation between Hunting Island and Edisto Beach State Parks. The weather was wet and warm and the bugs were horrible! But it still beats NOT Camping!
Filter Comparison
VideoA while back I said that I would do some Tech Videos Here is the first ! I thought that I would do a video to attempt to show the effect that different filter combinations had on video. I bought a 3 pack of filters on Amazon. ND4 ( Neutral Density 4), ND8 (Neutral Density 8), and PL (Polarizer). The first portion of the video shows the video with a UV filter (Included with the Phantom) on the left side, then I add the PL filter, on the right side of the screen, Notice the color and reflection difference in the videos. I then do the same thing with the ND4 and ND8 filters.
Looking back I wish I had developed a waypoint mission to do this video, maybe I’ll do a video with waypoint missions with both DJI Go and Litchi!
Coming soon … a video from our spring break on the South Carolina Coast!

Nothing but just goofing off near sunset….. thought it was pretty cool.
Very First Drone Flight
VideoWe flew the drone for the first time a couple of weeks ago… The windmill at the family ranch was spinning so fast that it made me nervous about flying my new “toy” for the first time. My previous Quad would have been destroyed in this wind and would have kept me at home. I was, however, like a kid at Christmas and was really wanting to get this baby in the air. The drone that I have is the Phantom 3 Advanced from DJI . I was hoping that it was worth the money, but was still a little scared, I decided that I would lift it off and let it hover at about 4 feet and see if it could handle the wind. I was amazed that it lifted up, leaned into the wind and sat there! My other quad would have been in the dirt or flown away due to the wind. My daughter and I agreed that “this baby is worth every penny!” Well, I flew it around for the life of one battery that I had, and my daughter made the above video. I am planning on making more videos, some more technical instead of just the footage from the drone, so I will post an update when that happens. Anyways, here is the first video if you want to check it out!
