One more 360 -- this one stitched super easy in Hugin. https://kuula.co/post/h1w03

I love that I can just pack up either in any old bag and take them places, and that they're very low effort to just pull out and start using. They can both launch and land on your hand and do quick shots without a controller. The Flip is obviously a lot bulkier, you can't just slip it in a bag...

One more pano! I had blown the battery on my Flip, which always makes awesome panos easily, and I still wanted to take one of this dam. So I busted out the Neo and took way more pictures than I needed to (56), and got this! Obviously I was setting myself up for parallax issues with all those...

Thanks! yeah, I got very lucky on the wind.

Since we were discussing flying the neo real high, I sent mine up to about 390 feet and took about 50 shots which I knit together in a panorama, posted here: https://neopilots.com/threads/360-panorama.1593/post-12311

Hey it's 360 pano time again! This one was taken crazy high -- almost 400 feet above a little park. I messed around a lot trying to get the colors decent looking in GIMP. The bright side of the sky still kind of looks like crap, if you look in the other direction, but it's not bad facing this...

That's quite a flight!!

Has it got a hard 120m limit? Really? I guess I hadn't tried to fly it higher. That's a bummer, since the law doesn't limit you to 400' above launch point, it limits you to 400' above the *ground* which isn't the same thing if your ground isn't level! (Not to mention the exception if you...

What does the process of saving photos/videos off the drone, and getting them somwhere else (to a compputer, to your phone photo reel) look like whenyou've got an RC 2?

I did watch a couple long youtube videos on part 107 test topics, and I feel like I could have gotten a lot of mileage out of that kind of thing. Maybe even passed it. But I got the pilot institute thing with a coupon for $120, and I think I'm definitely getting my money's worth from the...

Thanks for the advice, all. I did buy the Pilot Institute course and have just started digging into it!

outstanding!

I'm thinking about getting official, getting my part 107 license. Does anyone have opinions about places to train for it? It looks like Pilot Institute has a course for $159. RemotePilot101 has one for $179 with a widely available 30% coupon, so... I guess that'd only be $125? Pretty good...

Agreed

Oh that is really nice and cozy, the pano. And the tiny planet is crazy looking!
