Amiture Drone Pilot Mistake!

-

Zach was nice enough to drive me out to a beautiful location to shoot my drone show called Sugarloaf State Park. 

I just knew that this was going to be the place of my first ever cinematic drone video!

 My first and opening shot was going to be a low slow cinematic fly over some boulders with the ground dropping out revealing a beautiful treed forest valley. (I flew it flawlessly, just ask me) Cinematic flying the valley!

 Got home and popped the micro SD Card out of Spark falling between my no motor skill fingers and of all places falling down the heater register!

 Noooooooooooo! My family already helps me a lot with my drone. Now I have to go ask my son for help and fish my SD Card out of the heater register! Noooooooooooooo! lol

 Ryan finley found it after sifting through stuff I have no clue even how it gets down a heater vent in the first place.

 Once I got the SD Card I just knew I was going to be watching some amazing video!

 Now for the ultimate amateur move!

 I FORGOT TO PUSH RECORD! WHAT? SERIOUSLY? 
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT MYSELF!

 As you may know I'm wheelchair bound and don't drive, thankfully Rebecca has agreed to take me to the local park Friday so I can attempt to produce my first ever cinematic drone sequence.
Fingers crossed!

 Have you ever forgot to push record or is it a stroke survivor thing?

 Positive energy your way!
Your bro Aaron

 P.s. Zach is so excited about drones, he told me today he's going to buy himself the DJI Mavick Pro Zoom!

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...
