Drone vid from the weekend
 

Quick little drone video from this weekend. First time (trying) shooting wakeboarding with it!

The quality is rather compressed, the raw footage is really awesome. DJI Phantom 3 Standard

nice job with the dron.. I just got a X-Stax premium for this very reason. Did you fly from the boat and did you use follow me or free fly i.. ??

Yup, flying from the boat. I was in gps mode, not using any of the intelligent flight modes though.

I do want to try using the way points or follow me mode and see what one works best for shooting while boarding...

Following directly behind the rider is easiest from a piloting standpoint. Flying the drone laterally shooting from the side is an awesome shot, just a lot more difficult to fly that way!
