VIMEO VERSION: Living in DC, one of the toughest no-fly zones in the country, I tried to take advantage of our beach trip and give my birthday gift a try. Although you should learn in an open field I took a gamble and flew near the water. It’s a little tense as a grand's worth of toys heads out over the open water. Fortunately, the 3DR drone flew flawlessly. It’s amazing how steady the gimbals keep the GoPro camera even with a breeze. Flying it and watching your camera angles gets a little hectic, but the computer in the drone is pretty good at assisting. It was a fun learning week. It was my first flight ever with a drone, so you can see how user-friendly it is, of course, I spent a lot of time watching vids and playing with the simulator.
