Out again today with the new DJI Phantom 4 Pro drone trying to learn how to use it. The high winds are making the learning a bit scary. I first went to the beach-side of West Falmouth Harbor and tried an "intelligent mode" called draw. This mode allows me to draw with my finger on the touch screen of the controller to plot the desired path of the drone. I did that and launched my drone on the path. I thought I was going to lose it. It just kept going. I finally stopped it by interrupting the draw program and managed to get the drone to come back. I tried another "intelligent mode" with similarly poor results. I'm assuming the trouble is me not knowing what I'm doing, but the instructions seem pretty straightforward.
After the harbor, I went to the beach where it was much windier and got some shots of the shoreline. I tried hovering over some fishing seagulls, but couldn't stay with them.
Finally, I went to the opposite side of the West Falmouth Harbor to video and photograph the sunken boat you see in this picture.
Overall, I really like the drone and I think it will add to the creative possibilities in my toolkit for making videos and images.
