First Flight @ Home

So, I got a chance to take the Phantom 3 out before the sun went completely down and took a quick video from about 225 feet over the house and a bunch of photos at varying heights … Not a cinematic masterpiece by any means or stretch of the word, but hell, the damn thing didn’t fall either. The photos have not been edited, only resized for the web, the video was not modified other than fade in/out and the title.

Now I need to learn to fly it more ‘smoothly’ and get some better video going
