As the title suggests this is a project i have undertaken to see if i really need to upgrade to a better Drone. I'd love a phantom 4 or Typhoon H! but is it really going to improve me video?
With that in mind I have attempted to get the best from the XK Dectect X380 to answer the question for myself.
The XK Detect is a great little quad and really stable so it's an ideal platform to record good video. The trouble is very few video's actually show what is possible, just because it's high up doesn't mean it's actually good footage and what's with the feet in the picture all the time!
Looking into it the problem seems to be they are aimed at different markets, so someone with a DJI is more likely to be a film-maker or photographer so is willing to perfect the imagery than someone who just wants to hammer a quad around for a bit of fun.
So i thought I'd give it a go put a real GoPro on see what i could produce.
This is just sample footage from the project, not the smoothest and a little noisy due to a number of factors which will be covered in my final project.
The project will cover whats worked for me and what's not!
