Hello chaps.

new to the scene. hope there will be plenty support from the forum. I have just purchased phantom 3 pro and lookin fwd to the adventure. I live on the chobe river botswana/Namibia and hope to get plenty great aerial shots within the laws, as I believe drones are banned from the national parks in Botswana, but I will be operating on the Namibian side of the river.

Cheers

Greetings all

I am electrical engineer with research background, an amateur machinist and somewhat of a technoholic.
Have been flying Quads since July 2014, and have built and flown a few (2*250's, a 360, a 450, a 650).
I have been through KK2, Naze pro, CC3d, Naza lite, Naza V2 and PIxhawk F/C and only killed two GoPro's (they died hero's).
I love FPV flying in exposed scenery and find the aerial video/photography very compelling.

Short-term dreams:
get a fixed wing FPV flying and
survive FPV cliff-diving with my 250 mini-quad

Peter, Cape Town. Newby on the scene. My Chinese phantom copy is on its way, then the fun starts. My eyes hurt already from all the YouTube I have been watching on the subject.
