Sorry Pingu, could you elaborate please? Thanks
See the links that I added. They explain what you can and can't do, and there will be more info in the BMFA and CAA websites.
You can also use this as a start point for your next internet browse...

Work bought me a DJI Phantom 3 Professional. Well I have claimed it as my own... Footage to follow...
Back in 2004 when me and my my first shacked up together we rented to start off with but one day this nice chap asked if we wanted to buy an aerial photo of the house which I informed him I was renting but if I wanted a photo I would just attach a camera to my petrol rc helicopter and do that his face was a picture and to be honest would have been a bit tricky with the tech at that time.
Loving the quad and was looking at one of the cheapies but have fallen for the DJmaverick pro but my wife knows how much that one costs unfortunately and still would eat into my ///M fund all in time but for kicks that looks a lot of fun Sean.
I have rc planes and whirlybirds any one also into the hobby have a nice site there Pingu

was that what you meant?
Drone footage using the follow me function...
That's a cool function. Out of interest, how fast could you drive and the drone keep up?
apparently about 30mph...
I was doing 10-15mph, but as you can see it lags behind a little bit, and then catches up as the GPS signal correlates between where the drone is, and where the iPad is, that it is following.

Here's the real reason I had the drone... Youtube knocks the quality down though unless you select 1080p HD from the settings next to Youtube bottom right of screen

It looks like your height control works better than mine. I think that I need a GPS amplifier. Sometimes I wish that I had paid the extra and bought a dedicated setup instead of linking a Blade drone to a Spektrum controller and a GoPro to an Android mobile
.Impressive stuff. Were you controlling the camera as well as the drone, or (as I have to do) rotating the drone and guessing what the camera is looking at?
Never knew your garage was that big Pete
Great work there, how long did it take you to get that good with the drone mate?Tony.
i build my own... have 4 now. mostly race drones... one is gps capable and will do planned missions the others are racing drones with camera and i have goggles that can live view from the drone...
i buy most of the parts from china, and assemble them program the flight controller... been into it a few years now..

Impressive stuff.
Here's one with a "watch this" moment...
Superglue is the best tool in the box!!!
It's definitely not all me. The DJI program is the impressive stuff. It also has First Person View so I can see exactly where the camera is pointing and what it's looking at, in real time, as I fly.
The first part take-off is me flying/ pointing camera, then you see it hover at 35 seconds in. That's where I switch to Point of Interest and it circles around and points at the selected spot afterwards.
However, before I started recording where I took off from, what you don't see is that I had to go directly above that point of interest in the middle of the building, select it as a reference, then come back to where I took off from and hover there with it still running, then hit record, take off again, and that's what you see afterwards.
The unnerving part is when it sometimes drops out of GPS and the wind takes over.... now that is scary trying to get it back and land it.
