Hi Guys,

My name is Paul from Maroubra and I have recently bought a Phantom 4 drone and am starting to compile footage mainly around Gerroa and maybe some Sydney stuff to hopefully make a video towards the end of the summer. If you sail at Gerroa and see a drone hovering around I hope you don't mind! I also sail so hopefully will get out there too.

This is just a hobby project but I'll be stoked to try and get you on film so we have a good memory for the future!

If any of you on here have a problem with this plan please let me know because I don't want to create any problems. Also if you are sailing and see the drone filming, give a wave or throw a double... I want good footage!

Here's a random clip from Sunday...I was just checking how the 4k footage looks like.

Cheers,

Paul

You might be competing for air time in Gerroa with local drone pilot JH

Just arm your drone if he gives you any dramas

Is the sail you used on Sunday pink or the yellow/green one? Struggling to find your sail...but there seems to be a pink NP Fly maybe?

hi sail or die, yes thats me just on the left at the start and on the right at the end. Cheers for digging through it.

I think this form of video is great, gives a fantastic perspective of being out on the water. Thank you for taking the time for getting some footage, hope you get sailing in and one of us can drive the drone to video you

Great, happy you like it. I'm enjoying the filming as much as the sailing at the moment because I know people get stoked getting themselves filmed sailing. That's the only problem....is working out how to sail and film in the same day!

the quality and the perspective look great. I look forward to the finished product.

I may come down and do some spectacular stacks for you, just so you can have some balance and thrills in the video.
