Steam trains... aerial videos I am proud of
Ok, so it has nothing to do with kit cars but I know a lot of you would appreciate a nice bit of machinery when you see it...Who can say no to a steam
train!
I have finally finished a video I have been working on for a while up in Wales and thought some of you might appreciate it 
Steam trains:

Another one which was pretty challenging

Gear
I know nothing about this kind of stuff , but i like the films must take some time editing and getting it right.
Would be interesting to know what equipment was used.

Excellent videos must take a lot of work to produce that quality well done.just imagine if your track day vids could be like that !

Very good. Was the life boat video shot with just one drone ?
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

Mucho respecto!
My movie skills stop when I hit the stop buttin on my camera phone so I admire those who can make a good job of it!
My chum gathered several people phone/GoPro clips and did this in a couple of hours!!

As a keen (but very occasional) multicopter pilot, I must say that I am greatly impressed with your attention to safety issues throughout the video -
never flying in places that would endanger bystanders, or flying over people, and so on.
It's also a really good video, and brought back a few memories of that railway.

Thanks David, I have to play by the rules or I am not insured Some of the videos on youtube etc are very impressive but terrifying when you count
the number of rules being broken! There hasn't been a big accident yet in the UK but its not a question of "If' its sadly just a
question of "when". There are a number of commercial operators out there doing things properly (me being one) and a lot of hobbyists
having fun but giving drones a bad name in the process.
Appreciate the positive comments
All filmed on a single drone over a number of days and then edited together.
The drone is a hexacopter with GPS, barometric pressure, magnetic compass and four gyros. The main camera is a micro 4/3" slr swinging around on
a brushless gimbal.
Theres a bit more info about the technical capabilities on my website www.verticalhorizonsmedia.tv
Rather a monster compared to the little Phantom

Nice videos!
That quad copter is massive! Does it transmit live images from the camera to your controller?

Which flight controller are you using on that beast?

Yes, its is indeed a monstrous hexacopter and somewhat of a handful to fly.
I have two SD video links, one carrying the main camera stream and the other carrying footage from a fixed camera on the airframe to help with depth
perception and to give redundancy incase something goes wrong. Both video feeds have a switchable heads up display overplayed so I can see the drones
position, altitude, attitude and so forth during flight.
I would love a nice HD downlink but they are hideously expensive and introduce an unacceptable amount of lag into the video feed. The SD link is
almost instantaneous.
I have two screens mounted on my controller so I can see the video from both cameras at the same time. The controller is a 14 Channel affair so its
a controlled finger dance across it!
Its running the DJI A2 flight control system.

Very nice. But it's not a drone  I haven't got into fpv because I don't like flying a screen and can't get fatsharks
because of astigmatism. So my 250 racing quad is all line of sight. One of these days I'm going to get an SLR carrying hex..... One of these
days.......

That is amazing footage.
I loved watching both of them.
How did you get the boat footage? From onshore?
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
Please read my ring story:

It's a fun game, playing "spot the drone pilot". For the boat video I was standing on the end of the breakwater/pier. Judging
distance and altitude over water is jolly difficult!
Interestingly the lifeboat can out accelerate the drone but has a lower top speed. At one point i was doing nearly 30mph!

Excellent stuff! Makes a change to see one of those things put to good use instead of trying to P off the neighbours
Loving the music too, perfect for the videos, what is it?
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......
