RE: We bought a Mavic Pro Drone!!

in #travel8 years ago

SICK. Ah, I want to buy a drone so bad haha but I haven't been able to convince myself to make the investment. Was it difficult to learn to navigate the drone around? Also what editing software are you using? Thanks for sharing -especially a New Zealand vid. I did a study abroad around the south island and man, if there's anywhere I'd live forever NZ is it. Have a good one!

I don't think you'd regret the decision to buy one! It does takes a little getting used to - just heaps of playing around in the backyard to begin with. The controller is just 2 joysticks kind of like on a playstation controller so it's not too hard. We are still learning all the ins and outs, there are A LOT of settings to play with but the flying part is relatively easy. The video edits are done in Adobe Premier Pro. Glad you enjoyed the video! Oh how cool, bet you had a wicked time. We plan to spend about 2 months travelling the South Island next year- pretty excited!

If you don't mind me asking, how much was yours and where did you find it? That's awesome about your trip next year! So Jealous.

I think it was around $1800AUD with a spare battery, it was realllllllly hard to find! They were out of stock everywhere for ages, we ended up getting it from a store in Brisbane, Australia.

Gotcha. One day I will have one.. haha until then I'll definitely be checking out your vids. Thanks for sharing, come say hey whenever!
