Taking my drone on a first test flight
I bought a C-me camera drone from China this winter, but the Scandinavian winter weather isn't very suitable for drone flight, so I've had it waiting until now. But yesterday I took it on it's first test flight in the nearby park. I recorded the audio seperately, using my mp3 player (tho I'm quite impressed with how well it turned out, considering that I just had it lying in my chest pocket).. I found it pretty easy to steer - especially considering that this is my first time trying to fly a drone - or any kind of RC at all - although it did have a tendency to drift around quite a bit. But I believe that's mainly due to my (very old) mobile lacking magnetic sensors, so there was no compass to calibrate, as I was supposed to. - It might be time for me to consider getting a new mobile. Other than that I rendered the video in 720p, because although the original output video from the drone was 1920x1088 the actual resolution looked more like 720p anyways. All in all I'm quite pleased tho, and I guess I'll have to return to the park one of the days, to do that flight through that door opening in the old castle ruin.
