Title: Keeping under 1,000ft over SW London
Post by: Staib on February 09, 2015, 03:21:41 PM
Third flight with Q500 Typhoon. 1080p vid at 24fps. (Length: 2.30mins)

Video link is wifi but despite 0.5sec lag, fine for FPV sightseeing.

Was a sunny evening yesterday, so thought I'd get outside and peer above the parapet.

Why 1000ft?

It was just a catchy title - but without big foam wings it's all too easy to lose LOS orientation at much above 750ft.

Col_M - Thank you. That's looking towards Fulham, and central London beyond...

Hi Nick - that was awesome!

I haven't tried 24fps at 1080. It has a real film like quality to it - your quad is obviously balanced extremely well...

Really good!

That orange glow you get from the sunset at this time of year looks great in the video as it reflect off the trees and buildings. That dog didn't seem to keen on your quad did he.

Yeah - it was some Japanese pedigree dog, (Sheeba Inu or something like that) but it did look rather wary...

400ft ceiling on FPV.
Up at 1000ft you are going to be nearer full size aerial activity like Police or Air Ambulance helicopters especially in the likes of London.
Just something to consider.
