Very relaxing morning exploration flight!

A sub 250gr drone (GepRC Smart35) is allowed to fly almost everywhere! With this freedom I had a few really good flights on this morning (early summer), and since I used the instaSMO4k I got decent footage out of it:
I use 2.7k 30fps for 2 reasons: 1. my instaSMO4k shuts down mid-flight often when in 4k mode 2. youtube dedicates a good ammount of MBit for 1440p30 videos - and they are sufficient high res imho 2.7k60fps would crop in too much (limitation of camera) 30fps in combination with an ND filter works really nice for cinematic stuff. 4:3 raw resolution is great for stabilization (which in my case works directly thru the insta360 studio premiere plugin). FAKE SUPERVIEW tips: Premiere Settings for 4:3 to 16:9 "fake superview": source video: scale of 50% Adjustment layer: Effect "transform 4:3": scale 143% Effect "Lens distortion removal - gopro - hero 4 session - 1080 superview" Curvature: -46 (play around with this)

Stable in high winds? Here's how... (Rekon6 PID tuning)

I was wondering if the Rekon6 could keep up with a chimera7 and how good it can fly in higher winds (despite the really low weight). Now matter how shakey it flies tho - HD cams (Hero7 or InstaSMO in my case) can stabilize it so good... Loved the sunlight and conditions on the "Cinematic Flight" don't miss this (it's starting at 6:35) Check out my link-section below for the RPM stuff if you're interested...

Longrange Cruiser - Rekon 6 (Review, analog to DJI conversion, Testflights, ND Filter,...)

I was curious if this copter would perform better than the iFlight Chimera5.
I still guess that the Chimera7 would be a better choice for the ultimate mountain surfing copter, but this one is actually quite good and will be my main quad from now on. Banggood supplied this copter for review, but I could only get the analog version and converted it to DJI immediatley. I chose the STOCK DJI cam on purpose - from my experience they are the least susceptible to jello. Had I chosen the POLAR - it would be really hard to get rid of jello!
