DJI Intelligent Flight Mode Attempt Blog 1

-

Hi it's Aaron,

 Well Ryan and I just got back from the Park for our first attempt at using the DJI Intelligent Flight Modes.

 Well the key word is "attempt"

 Not only could I not access the Inelegant Flight Modes for some reason. During a close proximity hover my Co-Pilot (Ryan) yells where are you flying? As my Drone begins to fly on it's own towards a cyclone fence!

 I immediately tell Ryan I'm not flying it so Ryan grabs the controller and says it's not flying right and performs an emergency landing before it flew into some trees.

 The only issue was that the Park grass was long making the Drone land uneven falling over and crashing. 

 What comes to mind when a flight doesn't turn out like I wanted and crash? The words of my Drone sponsor and Pilot Mentor Tom Illife always asked me, What did you learn?

 Wow! So much happen, I'll need to marinate on it and write a part 2 to this Blog.

 Here's a few videos we did shoot.

I want to make clear to our drone community that my goal for my I Can't Walk But I Can Fly Drone Show is to learn how to produce a high quality and high valued drone show.   I dream of producing a drone show we engage together on as a community. A recent show change is  My Show Sponsor Tom Iliffe felt it best at this time to pull his sponsorship of my show. If anyone believes in my using drones to raise stroke awareness and is willing to sponsor my show, please leave me a message in comments. My future show objective: To work really hard on learning drone cinematography.  I want to share what I learn with you and hopefully produce valuable content. I want to learn how to produce drone cinematic sequences. Because I have allowed myself to get buried with Stroke TV projects and don't have enough time to go cinematic film Lord Snort, the Bore Metal Sculpture, I must postpone next months show to the following month (12/1/18 @ 2 PM PST) I will m...

How a DJI Drone helped my stroke survival.

Hi, My name is Aaron Avila  I suffered a massive brain aneurysm on September 17th 2010. Then two weeks later while in a comma I suffered a massive stroke. My stroke left me totally mute, half paralyzed and unable to walk. (It's been 8 years). I now speak with a speech deficit. I'm not going to go in depth initially but flying a DJI Spark drone gave me a w ay to express myself creatively for the first time since  my stroke in 2010. I discovered drones through a friend from almost 30 years ago named Tom Iliffe. Tom and I lost contact for over 20 years.  Thanks to Facebook Tom and I reconnected. When Tom found out I had suffered a brain aneurysm and stroke that left me half paralyzed and wheelchair bound Tom  was moved with comparison. Tom told me that I may not be able to walk, but I can fly a drone one handed. What a life changing time this was for me! You see, one of the most difficult effects of stroke is it completely strips you of your abilit...

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...
