OH WOW that's amazing you really captured the glory of the class there, did you use the sound from another mic as I can't hear the drone at all?

[@MrKnowwun]

yes track side fixed camera with sound, sound track synched to drone video - drone flown far enough away to not be picked up by mic, its a quiet drone anyway

[@aviation_dude3238]

I was at the station

[@DocterGeko]

How about flying the drone in tandem with the train. I don't mean actually next to it though, I just mean follow along side it for as far as you can.

[@MrKnowwun]

you mean track it? the drone max speed is about 35 mph, D1015 was doing about 50, so panning and tracking is possible but it would pull away given flying space (ie no trees) Its only my second time out with the drone, so I am ramping up the flying skills
