From Plum Island to Essex Bay, Drone Footage (Full Flight)

[@captraykelly]

Fished for Stripers off Plum Island beach in the 70's. Ate fried clams many times at the Clam Box in Ipswich. Loved it there. Great flight.

What an experience that was!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved the music choices. I am a massachusetts native and now living on the west coast. To see this beauty really took me back!

[@DailyDroneFPV]

Thank you very much, so glad you enjoyed it!

[@kenni411]

nice video i flew my mavic there this past weekend..... still trying to get the courage to fly it out of range like that ..... nerve wracking

[@DailyDroneFPV]

Thanks Kenni, yes you definitely need to have confidence in your machine. Helps to have a spotter friend with you maybe with binoculars to help keep an eye on it. Just make sure do don't go too far to cut off your transmission signal behind trees or a hill, and you need to keep your antennas pointed straight at the drone (exactly perpendicular to your line of sight), not off by more than a few degrees. Also don't fly if the winds are strong. Good luck!

Great video thanks for sharing!

[@DailyDroneFPV]

Thanks mate!

[@cliffyuno]

This is an awesome video

[@DailyDroneFPV]

+cliffyuno Thank you! I'm pretty happy with this one too, I'm surprised fewer people have seen it

[@cliffyuno]

+Daily Drone FPV I agree this is a great vid try adding more tags from the area, Google "cliffyuno essex bay" to check out some of my drone vids, also i will try the 1080 @60 fps, what software do you use to edit your 4k video with?

[@DailyDroneFPV]

I have lots of tags, but I could try adding more I guess. I use quicktime 7 pro to edit my 1080p60 footage because it's fast and easy. I also have final cut pro to edit my 4K footage, but I haven't gotten around to learning how to use the software yet so all my 4k footage is just waiting in storage

[@kennethpappas]

wow. what range are you getting and did you call plum island airport before flying?

[@DailyDroneFPV]

+kennethpappas Not sure on the range but some KZbinrs claim the drone can go several miles with an uninterrupted line of sight RC signal. The Plum island airport is not considered to be a large or medium airport (you can see the US restricted airspaces here: www.mapbox.com/drone/no-fly/ ), and I was flying more than five miles away from the airport just in case. Also, I was operating in the hobbyist airspace under 400 feet of altitude. Thus, I was obeying all of the guidelines for hobbyists.

Daily Drone FPV so you don’t have to contact plum island airport when droning? I always do because I thought I had to when flying within 5 miles of a airport. Also can you post your flight track? I want to see it. How far was the flight? Mine doesn’t have that type of distance. Well I can get it to 2 miles so far. But your drone is much more advanced

[@DailyDroneFPV]

yes, if you're within 5 miles you should contact the control tower, but for this flight I was never within 5 miles of the airport so no need to contact them. Hope that clarifies.
