I NEED A GIMBAL

Yesterday we went along to yellow craig beach for the skinny dip in aid of the marie curie cancer charity with the ILB as safety cover, on the way back home the wind dropped and the sun came out so i decided to get the quadcopter out and film the inshore lifeboat crew recover and square away the boat while i filmed them from the air, however when i tried to get the phantom airborne i got all sorts of error               lights flashing from the led display, and the quads propellers refused to kick over, so with some investigation on the DJI website i quickly discovered that i had to upgrade to the latest firmware, which  thankfully was a breeze to download and install, once that was done i had to recal the imu's, today i took it out for a test flight over the promenade,enjoy the film.

  1. That was great seeing the cliff tops from above. It goes up a fair height! I look forward the next film. What about the bridges at Bilsdean?
