0On Friday I shot my first UAV based panorama, stitched from 6 images in PS CC. I think the result is pretty good! Looking forward to trying more, as soon as the weather improves again.

0Just upgraded to a brushless gimbal on the CineStar UAV. Early results are incredible! Here's a wee edit from a test shoot down the road at Brunner Mine site. There is a small amount of post-stabilisation, but only to polish little wiggles, nothing like as much as was necessary before.
