Tight budget lead ball constraints

Tight budget lead ball constraints

Tight budget with lead ball constraints can be a really annoying, only those people that have been tied up to a lead ball constraints budget constraints know what it feels like, it is frustrating to say the least.

To be totally honest there are many risk variables to consider when planning buying a flying camera drone. And it is highly for recreational use, not so much practical use as many other items. It is important to be in a realistic mind set before launching out on a dream world illusion.  I am saying this to those people with tight budget constraints. If you have money to burn then go ahead and buy one for your best friend and neighbour also, and enjoy racing each other’s drone  around the terrain park.

Tight budget lead ball constraints

When finally getting the money together to buy the drone and making the purchase for some that is only the starting of pain the exhaust and the thumbscrews of the credit card company are back with vicious vengeance. Buying a camera drone is not a safe investment; it is not a solid winner that you keep for 5 to 10 years. Buying a camera drone for many is a high risk area, the drone may only make alive for 3, 6 to 12 months, before it has come to the end of its remote robot life, it may need some spare parts, expensive repairs or in the worst case a replacement. In comparison a Digital camera alone is much more predictable and safe item to spend money on, and relatively robust and highly practical.

Here are some of the risks:

  • Fragile sophisticated electronic equipment
  • Fragile moving parts, subjective to the weather, mist, water, snow, ice, dust and sand
  • Made out of plastics
  • Can be damaged by flying into solid objects
  • The purchase can be destroyed if accidentally landing in the water
  • Not to be stepped on, ridden on, sat on or kicked around. Any of these actions will depart  you from your hard earned money.

Tight budget lead ball constraints

Tight budget lead ball constraints and preventative action for recovery

The first step of action in this preventative course of action is to be fully aware what the flying camera drone is and how easily it can be damaged, and how expensive the accidents can be.

Second is to play it safe, guarantee 100% that the learn to fly area is open clear space, and no water hazards.  That alone is realistic risk management.

The other option is to put the idea of owning a camera done on a shelf until later on. Until your budget can manage such extravagant endeavors. And the follow up process has become an attainable reality.

Tight budget lead ball constraints

Here is another way to look at it, and still get a started and eliminate a lot of the money risk involved in owning a flying camera drone. You can still get started with using GoPro Camera.  A GoPro camera is not a such high risk item as the flying camera.

And the second part is buying a Gimbal that is  designed for the GoPro camera and is highly practical for any photographer or video content creator.  You can take it anywhere if the weather and the environment permits, while holding in your hand. The hand held Gimbal does cost currently around US $360.00 And if you already own a GoPro Camera then you are well on your way to recording and practicing your video recording skills with the highly sophisticated electronic piece like the GoPro Camera Stabilizer Gimbal, and learn to use it as you ride a bike, or run in the forest around obstacles, to simulate the flight path around objects, and to see how the Gimbal reacts to a given environment and to see how creative or boring your video footage rally is. If you can’t make a crative video on the ground around objects, then there is no way that you can make one while up in the sky with a camera drone.

It is a creative process is in the mind, you have to learn to visualize it before you start recording, it does w not come by accident. Not on 20 minute flight batteries.

Take a look at this SteadyGim3 video to see how clever piece of equipment  the BeStable SteadyGim3 Gimbal really is.

Here is a link to the above product.

Camera drone for natural disaster management

Camera drone for natural disaster management

Camera drone for natural disaster management can be a heaven send for those that are trying to asses the damages.  Natural disasters are awful for those affected, they cause so much damage to the society infrastructure, inconvenience to the daily food and water necessities, long term financial set backs, severe injuries disabilities to people and too often loss of lives.

Why to use a  Camera drone for natural disaster management

With a camera drone it is possible to make aerial assessment of the damaged area inexpensively without making impact on the affected areas. One ready charged battery allows for about 10-20 minutes of flight time, with numerous spare batteries for back up it is possible to make several hours of aerial surveillance and assessment without the need for recharging batteries.  Camera drone has a relatively small impact on the environment, compared to the hard and heavy impact that a real life size helicopter can have, those that are often used after natural disasters, to make a assessment, and take pictures and video footage for the word news media outlets.

Flying camera drone access to precarious natural disaster environment and situations

A flying camera drone can be used to access the most precarious situations. A flying camera can fly into areas and get really close without making the environment any worse or dangerous.  A very low impact on the ground, and the ability to fly , around, over and into building through door ways and broken windows that are too dangerous to enter on foot. The many benefits of using a camera drone for a  natural disaster environment situation is really obvious.

Get inspired by flight 2015

Get inspired by flight 2015

Get inspired by flight 2015 may be a loose term, never less it is essential for dynamic creativity. To get inspired may mean many different things and concepts for many different people, but inspiration is the fuel that drives the engine and motivation and enables creative projects and activity to progress and conclude.

Get inspired by flight 2015

Inspired by a flying camera

A flying camera is relatively new concept for the hobbyist, visual artists and for professional photographers.  A flying video camera, remotely controlled by the photographer is at new level entirely.  It was not practical and certainly not affordable to most people until it became available with the new innovative digital technology, that is so microscopic in size and and lightweight as a bird to enable flight on a set of 12 volt batteries for 15 to 20 minutes at a time.

Get inspired by flight 2015 with the Inspire One model UAV

DJI products named Inspire One. A professional model UAV, making high quality 4K video possible with  the new DJI camera. Here are some of the new features with the new DJI Inspire1.

  Inspire One body made from carbon fiber

The body structure of the Inspire One is made of a strong carbon fiber, tubular structure arms arms that swing out and lift out of the camera view.  The use of these new transformer design enables a full unrestricted 360° view of the flight path and the terrain below. This adds to the flight experience making the camera more unstricted by the flying Inspire One UAV platform.

Inspire One UAV platform frame has been designed and made with possible upgrades some time down the track in the future, without having to change the basic platform to make any changes to the camera or the Gimbal.  They are components in a unit that can be removed for safe transportation ,and possible changed for an upgrade in the distant future.

Flying indoors with greater control.

A new gadget with a great feature has been added to the new  DJI Inspire One, which is the Optical Flow technology.
It has a specially designed camera and a sonic waves to bring simplicity to flying indoors. The sensor detects the height that it is flying off the floor, and maintains stability even when the controls are released.
This technology allows the Inspire to hold its position, stop when the controls are released, and respond to your commands even when GPS is unavailable.

Also i would stay away from large areas of open water, at least don’t fly over the water when learning how to fly a UAV, until everything is under control 100%.  Cheers! and have fun.

UAV-Cinematography

UAV–Cinematography

UAV-Cinematography is an art of capturing motion picture and images through light and electromagnetic radiation. It is done either through image sensor or through light sensitive materials such as film stock. A typical lens is used to focus the light which is reflected into some real images. History of cinematography was dated back in 1830’s when images were produced on revolving drums and disks. Later, cinematography has moved far from the ancient technology towards sophisticated and modern shape, towards modern UAV-Cinematography.

UAV-Cinematography

Film Cinematography

In earlier times, an experimental film named as Roundhay Garden Scene filmed by Louis Le Prince in 1888 was the first motion picture ever. Later, in 1896, Edison was successful in launching the vitascope projector to take cinematography into another level. It was the first successful commercial projector in the US. Even later, the world has observed the glimpse of digital cinematography. In this platform, the film was posturized through digital medium using modern UAV technology. Sony has begun introducing HDCAM recorders which captured the most magnificent pictures. The cameras were 1920 x 1080 pixel digital professional cameras. The idea was named as “Digital Cinematography”.

Aspects of Modern UAV-Cinematography

The modern UAV-Cinematography includes high technology using Unmanned Aerial vehicles (UAV. That capture the action high quality images and video. This high technology is becoming more affordable to the hobbyist and professional photographers, one such AUV model is the DJI Inspire One. It promises to deliver the aerial videos, photography solutions to keen customers. The camera supports both DCI “Full” 4K (4096 x 2160) in 24 and 25p, as well as Ultra HD 4K (3840 x 2160) in 24, 25, and 30p. The camera is equipped with 12 mega pixel camera which can record 1080p and 720p video up to 60 fps. Among the most modern technology at moderate cost (under $3000). DJI Inspire One is the one. It features a retractable landing gear design. The major advantage of such technology is it provides the safest and unobstructed 360 degree panorama view of the image. Moreover, it is equipped with 5.8 GHz link to transmit wirelessly to distant location. Inspire 1 DJI is found in Phantom, Phantom 2 and Phantom 2 Vision Model – all of which promises to capture the aerial video and photography.  These features add value and enhance the prospects of UAV-Cinematography.

Types of Camera platforms

With the fast paced development in the digital realm, and innovation design breakthroughs in the hobbyist UAV’s and camera drones. We now find camera platforms which are capable of capturing images and live feed from different angles and postures, such as aerial shot, arch shot, sequence shot, tracking shot and crane shot, all with the freedom of the three dimensional space, and remotely controlled UAV flight. An aerial photography is taken with the help of aerial devices like helicopter, quad-copter, and drone. In aerial photography, extraordinary technology is used to capture shots. Lightbridge is such a technology which is capable of compressing an HD signal and also be able to transmit it to distance location. It looks like an Inspire One which offers “Ready-to-Fly” bundle. The advantage of such is that it simplified battery maintenance. The arch cameras focus on the capturing pictures with a camera circulating around the photography area. The crane shot is taken from with the help of a crane which is placed quite far from the photographed object. A sequence shot is referred as capturing images with relatively long and complete scene in a single take without further editing. These modern cameras are used to capture the most magnificent pictures of sound quality and technology.

UAV-cinematography
Inspire 1 in a flight position

Inspire One UAV-Cinematography platform

The Inspire One camera, 4 K wide full screen video is a great feature for any inspiring cinematographer. Bringing the full wide screen option more closer to the hobbyist and students of cinematography. Flying a UAV is one thing, capturing images is another, to capture creatively interesting sequences of flight to the viewer is entirely more in the realm of science and art. There are optimal angles of geometry, splitting a diamond is not pot-luck, neither is splitting wood blocks, or cutting a layered cake. It may take considerable amount of time, to think through the possibilities; purpose is needed to fulfill the premise and the conclusion of the story line. UAV-Cinematography is an exciting prospect, the room for creativity and expression are unlimited, the freedom of the true three dimensional space of flight.  Whether you are aspiring towards UAV-Cinematography or maybe see your role in commercial prospects or for personal satisfaction and family creativity, then if budget comfortably allows for it ($3000), do consider the DJI Inspire One platform.

New Inspire 1 model Review

New Inspire 1 model Review

New Inspire 1 model Review of the new UAV with a frame made from carbon fibre material and also innovative transformer style design. The UAV power voltage for the big 12″ size propellers, is also up from the Phantom series to a full 22.2 volts.

The new carbon fibre frame of the Inspire 1 is super light; the transform design is such that the frame structure opposed side arms move up when landing the craft, and they move down when in flight. This design feature frees the camera point of view well below the frame, allowing the camera to view and shoot 360 degrees. The weight of the craft overall is three times heavier than the Phantom series, total weight with the camera is 2935 g.

Live HD view during UAV flight

The Inspire 1 allows for a real time feed from the onboard flight camera which is displayed in 720p HD on the mobile device on the ground. This enables a clear view of the object during the flight as the camera sees to maximise the angle and the distance of the video and images.
This is one new feature of the Aspire 1 which is made possible by the new and improved version of DJI’s Lightbridge technology. It can transmit video from up to 2000 meter distance.

Optional two controllers for a single flight; a flight pilot and a camera person to capture the action

For those that are not restricted by a small budget there is even greater expansion concept possible now, with the new updated technology for flight and camera control. It is the use a second remote controller, other than the flight pilot, the second person is a camera control person, dual controls with dual visual screens. This can improve the precision of the flight time, making the flight time more effective especially when doing a professional shoot of action sport, when the object of the shoot may only be in position for a matter of second and moving with great speed. E.g.: motor sports, skiing, snowboarding and surfing.

New Inspire 1 model Review Climate condition variations.

I would reallu like to take the Inspire 1 for a test Flight here at the Nordic region, during the winter condition.  I can only imagine how great it would be, to be chasing a snowboarder and a skiier down a tundra mountain side.  Most likely it would need some winter climate proofing, to protect the battery and the motors from the cold.  The temperatures early in the mornings, on  clear day ( just the time when you want to fly) would be lower thatn the -10C. More likely to be between -15’C to -20’C. Obviously the preopellers and the motors would be the first point of impact for the cold. Second would be the battery power, twindling down, quickly in the sub zero temperature.  Maybe there is a motor available that generates and pumps out  heat to keep the vital components alive.  Or even closing off any air vents and channeling that heat from the motors to a battery enclosure.

The speed of ascent according to DJI is 5 meters per second, that is relatively fast.
A controlled safe descent speed is 4 m/s, which translates from, 800 meters it will take some 20
seconds to descent down to the ground. The max speed is said to be 22 meters per second without any encouragement or restrictions from the wind of the natural elements. Max flight altitude is at 4500 meters. Which leaves Mount Everest, out of reach for the Inspire 1 flight altitude. The hot and the cold, operating temperature is to work between -10C to +40C. This would make an interesting test for the DJI Inspire in the Nordic region winter climate conditions.

The Phantom 2 Vision +

The Phantom 2 Vision + comes stock standard with a DJI 3-Axis Gimbal and a 14MB camera as advertised. Whether the Phantom 2 Vision + model is the right one for your need.

Phantom 2 + H3-3D.

Best camera drone store

Alternatively there is the Phantom 2 + H3-3D option around USD $959.

For the Phantom 2 with H3-3D bundle, Zenmuse H3-3D 3-axis gimbal is included for extreme camera stability and silky smooth video recording.

But you do need to buy the GoPro Camera. There are many models available, White, Black and Silver series. The prices vary from around $350-$450.

The GoPro camera with the Zenmuse Gimbal set up is a more robust kit, it is designed to handle action sports both on the ground an up in the air. The other extra benefit from the GoPro set up is that the GoPro camera can be used for other actions sports, including on the water surf with a water housing. There are camera variety of mounts available for mounting the GoPro camera to a bike helmet, side of a skate board, a car or a flying drone. Obviously the options for use are more varied with the GoPro camera and mounts.

Phantom vision 2 battery life

The flying time is up to 25 minutes from the intelligent 5,200-mAh battery. One battery may not be practical when hiking up on the mountains where there is no facility re charge the battery. So therefore for those that can afford it then 2 spare batteries would be practical for a week end trip, which can give up to 15 filming sessions up in the air, 5 minutes per observation, photography or video time.

The flight time in total about would be 75 minutes of flying time with 2 spare batteries. But in reality when flying in areas not previously familiar with then there will be trial and error to capture the right time of the day, the right wind conditions or no wind. Experience and skill will save a lot of flying time in the air obviously. To capture the right flight path for the video, and to be in the right side of the sunlight and the shadows.

The latest Phantom 2 comes with the new remote controller, new propulsion system and new compass

There are many creative possibilities to capture images and video from a high flying UAV drone, for example the DJI Phantom Vision. The potential is great because there are relatively very few images and video available from the aerial view point. Most photography available has been taken from the ground form a parallel 2D view point from various angles as possible. It does require a skillful eye to see what is a well presented image that looks positively encouraging, particularly true when using photos to present a property, landscapes, personal portfolios and weddings.  It does require quality over quantity, with unique quality images and video it is much easier to be persuasive to get a contract to photograph a property or other points of interest for a advertising and marketing purpose.

Here are the features of the above kit.

  • Zenmuse H3-3D 3-axis gimbal is included in this bundle for extreme camera stability and silky smooth video recording
    Complete quad copter and remote transmitter, pre-tuned by the factory and ready in minutes! Just charge the included battery, attach the propellers and add 4 AA batteries to the remote and you’re flying.
  • Fun flying by itself or even better with a GoPro to record the action. Tested with Hero3 and Hero3+ models, sold separately. Note: Wi-Fi streaming from a camera is not possible because it may interfere with the Phantom’s remote control.
  • Fly 25-28 minutes on a single charge using the included 5,200-mAh lithium polymer (LiPo) battery that’s easily removable and contains intelligent circuitry and a charge-remaining indicator built-in.
  • New self-tightening propellers means extra security and no worrying about lost prop nuts when you remove the props for storage.

The latest DJI model: Phantom 2 Vision plus.

DJI’s Phantom 2 Vision+ is the most recent model, and it has been designed to improve the quality of the camera 2 way gimbal and the camera combination.  There are also other details , see and read the product specifications. The price tag is about $300 more than the Phantom vision 2 Zenmuse H3-3D 3-Axis combination.

The standard batteries may need a review.

The batteries in the DJI Phantom vision plus are 5200 mAh battery, i have read in review articles that the power drops sooner than expected, some 5-10 minutes. The DJI’s product specs claim the battery flight time to be around 25 minutes on a single battery charge.  The margin for a flat battery error when flying is said to be around 10%, meaning return back to base when the battery is close to 10% remaining.  But it can also be relative to the nature of the terrain where the UAv is flying.  Flying over hazardous areas where there is no possible access to recover the UAV, then obviously the safe margin should be greater.

Where to make the purchase online.

UAV GoPro Zenmuse H3-3D 3-Axis Gimbal  there are many outlets that have supply the DJI products all over the world.  Two of the most the most common being in Europe and United States.   Amazon also has them in stock both in Europe Amazon  UK and Amazon.com in the United States.  On this web site there are links to both USA and UK.  See videos samples of the video quality at http://bestcameradrone.com

Which model DJI Phantom is the right one.

Obviously if the application is to fly the drone without much need for quality images and video then it does not really matter which one.  They all fly and some have cameras and basic models models do not.

However if you want to get real real fine quality video then go for the Zenmuse Gimbal because the Gimbal is a better quality gimbal and the GoPro camera is said to be produce higher quality video and images. If this is debatable then read more reviews to be sure.

If the $1300 price tag does not hurt your pocket then the DJI Phantom Vision Plus is a good option.  it does have a quality Gimbal and a quality camera and also being the most recent model inthe DJI Phantom line so then it has all of the updates and improvements that DJI has made on the previous models.  The early models did not have a camera, and the follow up did have a camera but no gimbal, they came out with a camera bracket. Then came out the Vision with a camera and a bracket, and now the most recent DJI Phantom vision plus with a quality 14 MB camera and a gimbal.

Take the camera to the sky

Take the camera to the sky

Take the camera to the sky is  a creative way to enhance your world view, to see the environment from above. This can be used for many practical reasons as well for the artistic purpose of photography.  Here are some practical ideas as  to why you may want to take the camera to the sky:

VIDEO.

  1. Check the house roof for any damage.
  2. Check the rain gutters for blockages by tree leaves and bird nests.
  3. Do your neighbors a service by inspecting their roof for a fee.
  4. To see and photograph the house and the yard from above.
  5. To view and film the neighborhood block from 300 yards above.
  6. Video film from above while walking on a beach, boating on a lake, kayaking on a river or cycling on a country road, or maybe skiing or snowboarding down a slope.
  7. Photograph steep cliffs with a flying camera without endangering yourself.
  8. Get to take pictures of precarious places where no man (maybe) have gone or seen before.
  9. Video film big surf board riders from a high up in the sky without getting wiped out (not for beginners) Learn how to fly on land first before going over water.
  10. Scout and photograph wild birds and game animals over wet in accessible swamp lands  without putting on the waders.

Take the camera to the sky

Take the camera to the sky with a DJI Phantom Vision 2.

DJI Phantom Vision 2 is a great entry level UAV platform to start from, it offers practical flying control and quality video and still photography.

Here are some links provided for more details.

DJI Phantom Vision 2.

Practical accessories for Phantom Vision 2.

  • Set of propeller guards ( must have).
  • Extra batteries for field trips.
  • 64 MB memory card.
  • Protective carry case.
  • Set of spare propeller blades.
  • Optional 3-axis Gimbal for additional camera.
  • DJI Accessories.

The above list of items are for practical reasons to have if you can afford to buy them.  The propeller guards will save a lot of pain because the propeller guards will stop the drone from falling out of the sky it fit bumps against a wall,  a tree or similar object. The blades will not be stopped by the object, they keep rotating and powering the vehicle to stay up in the air.

The extra batteries are needed when going on a field trip away from a power source to recharge batteries.  Also extra batteries will enable filming when the occasion provides the moment for video and still photography.  Morning sunrise, the offshore breeze, the surf and the birds in nature, wild game and the sunlight will not wait for anybody to recharge their batteries, they just keep, keep on rolling on.

Have a plan before committing to it.

Know what opportunities you will have for the DJI Phantom Vision drone, think of the different seasons and various places that provide opportunity for scenic video footage and still photography.  It may be a cove of the ocean, a calm morning at the lake shore, a field filled with wild flowers, and orchard with fruit trees, a unique tree forest or whatever your interest is in, what motivates you to go outdoors and to explore the great outdoors.  It can be any season of the year it really depends where on where on the planet the locations is and what interests and motivates you.  Have a clear plan as to what how and when you have opportunities for the learning phase of taking the camera to the sky and where the highlights are for extraordinary video footage and for the still photography.  Take the camera to the sky has many creative applications it is only limited to the creativity of the UAV camera pilot.
