Now I've just had my second drone crash ever, and I just let it get too close to a tree.
Luckily it looks like I've just broken one or two of the propellers and I've bought spares.
But that is a fact of life and I was expecting that to happen, that's why I've actually got
three different drones.
I'm flying about five times a day, I've been doing it every day for the last three weeks
to get the shots you really want.
Unfortunately there's going to be some risk involved, hopefully the gimbal still seems
to be working.
When I tilt it like that and look through the camera on the controller, it looks like
it's okay.
So I'm just going to replace those blades and learn from the experience.
And I'm going to test flight.
I'm going to hold it in my hand to start with, that way I can tell if I'm getting a bad rotor
vibe then I won't let it take off.
A bird just landed behind me.
Hang on, I've just got to film this cool bird.
It's a baby one.
It hasn't learnt to fear people yet I guess.
Try that again.
Feels good.
The main thing I'm looking for is, is it stabilised?
Seems to be okay.
So the Mavic drone doesn't have any onboard sound recording.
So in post-production when I wanted to add some life to the shot of the drone crashing,
I had to figure out where to get some sound from.
So I dug up a crash that I had overseas and listened to that, it sounded alright, but
it was on rocky ground and this was through a tree.
So I recreated the sound by wrapping a GoPro just in some sticky tape so I didn't scratch
the lens and then I threw it up a tree in the backyard and then spliced those two sounds
together to get the sound that you hear in the video.
