Very smooth, much better than what I have seen out of the 3rd party DJI app. It is getting close to what MPCC can do on the 3DR Solo.

First off there is no way I would fly to 450 meter AGL unless it was along a mountain side. Battery power is not the same issue as communication you mentioned in the earlier post. And it doesn't take a "powerfull antenna and a battery with more charge" to fly to heights that sUAV go. As has...

So are you saying the H is fundamentally different that all other sUAVs, or can't you explain whatever phenomenon you are alluding to?

I am not sure what you are implying with your statements? With properly aligned and aimed antennas additional height of the sUAV usually improves communication, less interference and scatter. Beside physics what else enters the equation?

By now you would think no one would even ask a question like this. If one knows the limit is 400" why ask if others are being irresponsible and breaking the limit? I hope anyone going to 1000 feet gets busted before causing a accident.

That will not be enough, need to be able to interpret charts and know some weather stuff.

I think you may be expecting too much from these small cameras and the lens being used.

With one of the many replacement lenses available for a Go Pro there is no need for the legs to go up, they are never in the shot.

I think your are getting a little ahead of yourself. You still don't have your "Remote Pilot Certificate" and not likely to get one until at least August at the earliest. Might want to more carefully read this: Becoming a Pilot

It really doesn't matter; GPS accuracy is not good enough to return the craft to any location with that degree of precision.

Please point me to video shot by a pilot alone that shows that level of smootheness with transitions in all five axis? As to your second point that is the whole idea of Cable Cams. That is why I asked the question. Can the Cable Cam of the H provide that level of smoothness in transitions in...

Preplaning is nice for some things where you are not too critical of the framing of the shots. The Pixhawk Arducopter UAV have had that for a couple of years with Mission Planner and Tower. When you need tight shots pre-flying where you frame the shots by adjusting distance, gimbal pitch and...

You may not understand MPCC on the Solo it does all the yawing and gimbal pitches automatically. Litchi and Autopilot are required on the Ps to provide the base functionality of Solo's MPCC; unfortunately they don't provide the same level of smoothness in the transitions. Did you watch the...

While they support what the Solo does they don't come close to the smooth transitions necessary for cinematic filming.
