Drone practice with the Roadster!

Post by AidanDawn2000 »

Very quick cheesy edit of the Roadster using a DJI mavic pro. Still figuring it out (any tips @Datseen? :wink: )

In a car from long long ago...
In a field far far away...

Looked like an opening scene to a movie. I imagined the Datsun staring across the ocean, looking back home, nostalgic but not sad, still motoring on, working to complete it's mission of bringing joy and excitement to yet another owner.

Reminiscing on where it's been, eye still toward the future, an eagar young man and his comrades taking the wheel... adventure awaits.

Looks like a great start! Or epilogue.

Nice work Adian, today's toys are quite different than those of my youth. The best I could muster was a small kit built gas engined airplane. It was controlled by two strings attached to a handle. As you spun in circles making yourself dizzy, you were suspossed to put pressure on one of the strings to make the plane either climb or dive. I was much better at diving than climbing, thus quickly ending my aviation career!

I think this part will fit into the end of a larger whole. Something to do with a "journey to the sea"
The setting here is a brussle sprout field between SF and Santa Cruz

Bravo!! Love the imagery.

Easily recognized as one of my favorite and most frequently visited places on Earth, PCH! But driving me crazy to identify landmarks from the ocean-looking-East view to pinpoint the location. Hahaha. Don't recognize the tall structure towards the end. Thought it was Moss Landing power plant but it looks like the tower is bigger than the stacks! Oh well, don't let my OCD bother you. Hahahahaha.

Great job!!!

Viral! At least to roadster and coastline zealots. :D

It's my top secret Brussel sprout field just past Davenport on hw1 (the tower is the abandoned Davenport cement factory)
