I Can't Walk But I Can Fly Progress Report

-

Hi peeps!
I'ts Founder and Drone Pilot in training Aaron Avila.
Read my personal survival story.

Wow! 
I have learned a ton over the last two weeks thanks to Stewart Carroll from Drone Film Guide in Ireland.

 I've been told as a half paralyzed wheelchair bound one handed stroke survivor I would not be able to be a true Drone Pilot and I won't be able to shoot cinematic Drone footage.

 Well, thanks to what I've learned from professional Drone Cinematographer, Stewart Carroll, I am certain I can do it!

 My dream will be to be the worlds first half paralyzed wheelchair bound one handed Drone Cinematographer! 

 So my biggest challenge was how to take those epic looking cinematic Drone videos with my DJI  Phantom 3 4k and using the stock DJI two stick controller when I only have one hand?, 
(Phantom 3 4k Drone donated by Drone Pilot Tom Illife). 
I named my Drone Pegasus.

 Enter Stewart Carroll!

After watching countless cinematic Drone filming tutorials and Stewart flying stunning cinematic Drone using two hands I started to think maybe their right, I won't be able to ever fly a Drone using cinematic Drone filming techniques.

 Than Stewart began to produce tutorials on the DJI Intelligent Flight Modes. If you don't know what Intelligent Flight Modes are, I'll let Stewart show you one of several video tutorials. 
Ready Stewart? And ACTION! lol

 The light bulb went off!
THAT'S IT!
The answer I was looking for!

 Thanks to DJI manufacturing Drones with this Intelligent Flight Mode and Stewart showing me how to use them, I will be the worlds first one handed stroke survivor filming cinematic Drone footage!
I truly believe I can do it!

 Brain fatigue! More later peeps!

 Sincerely,
Aaron Avila 
I Can't Walk But I Can Fly

Here's my plan to learn to fly and film cinematic Drone.

Meet my amazing teacher from Ireland  (Click on Pegasus my Phantom 3 4k to launch video) I plan on taking one or two tips of Stewart Carroll's and practice them in my front yard and local park until I  learn them. As I get this plan moving I will do a once a week livestream show on my Facebook Page. My goal will be to spend 15 minutes or so in a live chat segment at the end of each show.  We can live chat to discuss cinematic Drone flying or any Drone topic. Like my Facebook Page Here I must warn you! I'm a brain aneurysm and stroke survivor with a speech deficit (Read my story here) so you may need to ask me to slow my speech rate down so I don't smash my words together.  I don't take it personal so if you can't understand me, ask me to slow down. As I  get more organized I will use the same numbering system Stewart uses in his tutorial so you know what cinematic Drone filming technique I'm trying to learn. Make sure you

Creative change for my weekly drone show!

(Click on banner to subscribe to my YouTube Channel) So I am learning to livestream for my stroke community by my partner  Roland Takaoka from DIY Live Streaming. We were discussing my drone show. Roland mentioned that my show was lacking progression. I keep showing/filming the same backyard table shot almost every week on stick control. He said my topic is great but I need to show the audience how my stick control is improving using different filming areas. So in effort to make my Drone Show more interesting, starting this Saturday at 2 PM PST, I am going to be thinking of creative ways, to not only challenge myself using stick control and hopefully show my audience different ways to demonstrate that my stick control is progressively improving. You need to remember I'm wheelchair bound and don't drive. So I'm limited to a residential frontyard and backyard. My idea is to create natural obstacle courses that will challenge my stick control and over ti
