Have shared it as public, isnt it accessible.

Some test flights from our field this week.  These aircrafts belong to someone else, who was not present on the field. 

The Cessna came with a broken nose wheel. Since I did not have the right size piano wire, I tried to make one using the tail linkage of a Trex 600 heli.  It was a bit too thin, so I could not get it to stay straight, hence the hand launch.  Landing was also an issue.

HD enabled !

 

Finally my Parachute dropping mech. was tested on Sunday..which worked great.
Thanks to Ashish was capturing the dropping.
Done 4 flights, one was dropped from a very good height and Ashish was not able to focus the object (parachute). the chute was almost lost but nearby kids helped it getting the chute back.
next drop was failed as the chute was just hanging on the servo as not released properly.
Third and fourth was perfect drop, just 5-10 mtr from our base, as it was dropped from a low height.

I hope Ashish will be uploading the videos Soon.

Ashish. A tip for you. Set the camera focus to manual and then to infinity. You will avoid the "hunting" that occurs with auto focus when capturing moving objects.

Great stuff Sandeep, try to drop paper planes next time!

thanks Sushil,

yes i found autofocus is taking time to focus properly!!

but i am not sure if my camera have facility for manual focusing, will check manual again for this!!!

and yes, in the background u can see my F15 is trying to take this diver!!!!!

Yeah, next time i will drop a bunch of paper planes.... and some more things whatever is possible..

i think eggs will also do...

Ashish,
In most professional cameras, there should be a manual focusing button or slider to set the focus manual. to set the manual focus there should be a focus ring on the lens itself.

Nice release.

Sandeep,

mine is not professional camera, it is just Super Zoom digital camera, with better results than usual small cameras!!! And doenst have any manual control to focus on lens itself!!!!
but even though i will check if focus can be set to infinity or in either fixed focus in menu!!

Check for A/F and M/F

As Sandeep says, look for the focusing mode. It will be in the menu. once you have accessed this mode you will - normally - be able to set the focus via a ring on the lens.  What camera is it anyway?

it is Panasonic FZ35,

and doenst have facility for manual focusing using ring!!!

all i can think of is, if i can set it to m/f using menu and try!!!!!
