Hi welcome to Austech, nice vids.

**DRONETEC** · 09-09-14, 09:03 AM

Hi mate any reasion my vids got a lil cut off on the side ? there 16 by 9 utube HD vids ..? and could you maybe tell me witch thred is best suited for my sort thing.. maybe genril thred?

**WhiteOx** · 09-09-14, 10:33 AM

They look ok to me.

Since they're about drones, Electronics sounds good.

**mtv** · 09-09-14, 10:35 AM

Welcome to Austech.

The embedded vids run as 16:9 for me.

We don't have a dedicated section for aerial photography, so General Chat is probably the best place.

They only appear to be cut off due to a combination of your screen size & the inserted forum add.

If you reduce your browser text size by using "Ctrl" and "-" the video will be right. Reverse applies if you want enlarge your text again, "Ctrl" and "+".

Alternatively you select play then double click on the video you get full screen any way.

Don't worry I can see them, cool vids, there are a few members here into quad copters & radio control planes with go-pros on them. Have a look around & or start your own thread in general chat.

Some here for you Post #91

Post #67 here

welcome aboard DRONETEC
and thanks for the vids
can you tell us a bit more about your gear used in the vid? DJI f450, Gopro, gimbal type and do you use fpv goggles or just a screen when flying?
pretty smooth vid, no vibrations
having only just started with this hobby, I'm interested to see how long have you been at it

EDIT doh, would help if I had watched the first vid as I see you use the goggles
Fatshark?

Welcome aboard dronetec.
Great vids, nice place you have... You'll be flying drone for the NZ Military soon

**DB44** · 10-09-14, 05:17 PM

Welcome. Very interesting hobby. I saw some drones etc. on the geekbuying site and must say I was tempted, despite being almost totally ignorant on the topic. Nearly every time I see a new toy or gadget I want it! Oh well, maybe later.

**Tiny** · 10-09-14, 06:56 PM

It appears a few members are interested Quadcopters/drones with cameras etc, me too, so I looked up an old thread that I remembered has great info & video in it.
Edit: BTW it is buried way back, so it only takes one post in the thread to bump it back to page 1.
Enjoy;

Got a photographer mate in NZ who also uses "quads" for aerial shots ()
I think he has one of the best jobs in the world.

**DRONETEC** · 11-09-14, 08:35 AM

wow thanks everyone for the nice welcome ya never know with this hobby if its guna get a bad rap...
1st if any one like this idea of flying i sugest ay mini quad to start never go big first ...The quad of choise first was an AR Drone 2.0 was a wifi controled toy 600$ worth, it was ok but didnt realy have good feeling of control, So i modded it to use 2.4mhz rc controller Dx6i specktruim 300$ worth.. plus the chip to mod the drone 300$ so my first quad was gettn dear.My vids on utube of this quad ardrone,
conclusion of that quad was to light photos and vids not so flash ,
My next quad was ay Hubsan X4 super cool mini about size of pack of ciggys 70$ with spares part in box very cool look em up i recomend any one get fly learn .......my vid on u tube

Ok guys then i stept up and got my DJI Phantom Vision 2 3000$ worth..

its super ship love it still vids and picx super ..

So i was going over water a lot decided to make a cheeper ship in case and for ove sea flights. and got the
Aero SKY H100...

were the phantom is all the tech this was all me and the learning cerve was bigg but a good jump up..

So i gota brushless gimbal and started to get it sust.. im still playn with this ship and mounting the gimbal difrent ways for Center of gravaty beta..

Next up was my racen mini BQ250 BOKs QUAD frame made in NZ FPV .

so after this i added FPV gear and i was flyn from googels fatsharks so much fun in the drivers seat of this thing...

Hope that fills yall in a lil on my stuff any questions just ask or i can point ya the right way..

Looks like a fun hobby, pity I can't afford it. I have too many hobbies that I cannot afford at the moment. Motorbikes being one. Can't afford being on two fronts, money being one, and time, the other. Oh well, I can enjoy your videos. Thanks for posting.
