your gear doesn't matter?

I wanted to challenge myself to tell a story about "limited" gear using "limited" gear. I pieced back together an old drone that I haven't flown in ages, most of its hardware would be considered very outdated.

In addition, I wanted to put my own spin on this concept by using only my iPhone to film (with the exception of the on-drone shots where I used a GoPro as usual). Apologies for the shakey footage, but other than that I think it came out pretty well :)

Thank you so much for watching this video and supporting my channel. You guys are awesome. Really excited about my next video too so stay tuned!
