Hello, My name is Hugh and I am a full time photographer working in the field of cultural history and architecture. I also specialise in immersive VR photography and panoramas.
I've been drawn to this forum as I try to learn about the varieties of different ways of flying a camera. Clients have recently been asking for aerial footage and stills.
To start the ball rolling I've bought a small contra rotating helicopter which I am struggling with, as it throws itself against anything it can, but gradually less. I am in awe of the flying skills of some copter wranglers.
My plan is to buy a small camera ship (less than £1000) to prove to myself and clients that we have a working prospect of getting useable imagery before making any larger investment.
My questions at the moment are to try and understand the merits and demerits of the various open systems, what for instance is the difference between Open Pilot and Arducopter Mega?
Aesthetically my tendencies are towards the Y6 but that may well change.
Best to all
Hugh
