FLIGHT 5 Session 1 is about 6-min. and 8 sec. video of the first session located at Round Rock Old Settlers Park between the lake pavilion and the lake. The purpose of this session clip was to elevate 50 feet and record video of surrounding area including the sign and red objects each side of the sign representing Christmas tree decorations. When maneuvered to near the end of drainage area I was focused in viewing the foot path near the end of the drainage terrain. My lateral motion was set to a max distance that I attempted to exceed in that location. But, from that position the area was panned. Mini was homed into landing area after the 360-degree clip. Need to learn about adjustment of max distance and height for the Mini, but there are anxious moments when the mini is flown out of sight.

  • FLIGHT 5 session 2 is a 4-minute 38 second video of the second session located at Round Rock Old Settlers Park between the lake pavilion and the lake. The purpose of this session clip was to elevate the quadcopter to 50 and 100 feet and pan 360 degrees illustrating the surrounding landscape and lake. Mini homed in on a cone and elevated 20 to 50 feet and returned to the cone and illustrated practice landing on landing pad as an exercise in control of mini.
  • FLIGHT 5 Session 3 is a 4-minute 28 second video of the third session located at Round Rock Old Settlers Park between the lake pavilion and the lake. The purpose of this session clip was to elevate to 20- and 50-foot heights and practice panning local area both in a clockwise and anti-clockwise direction to become familiar with the area for future flights. Homed in to land on car floor mat set on top of part of the H landing mat.
  • FLIGHT 5 Session 4 adjusted to 6-minute 58 second video of the fourth session located at Round Rock Old Settlers Park between the lake pavilion and the lake. The purpose of this session was to take video clips with 360-degree panning trying to learn how to rotate smoothly. Still shots in slide show were extracted frames from video for inserting into slide show and these shots appear to be as good as using a photo taken by the DJI Mavik Mini. Homing in on the landing pad is intended to show a landing more horizontally than vertically.
