drone video stills





I spent a couple of hours this weekend getting some moving pictures of the Limo from a quadcopter/drone setup.

A couple of my friends are in a local remote control aircraft club, and one of them has a bunch of drones & cameras. It's more complicated to do than I thought -- much time was spent for not a ton of footage.

Still, it was a learning experience (first time I've seen a drone in person), and some good shots were captured and will be edited into a YouTube vid at some point.

Also, with the arrival of good weather and more people outside, LOTS of people are coming up to me to ask about the car. It's fun. You wouldn't get more attention from a Ferrari.
