Very First Drone Flight

Video

We 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!
