Within about 12 hours,&nbsp; the post had 428 views, 10 reshares, 116 likes, and 41 comments mostly of people keen to have me stop by. I guess it\u2019s real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a morning of working with my overseas developers and coordinating the team, I had a play with the drone today that I will be using for some of the establishing shots in regional areas. I also used the opportunity to play with Adobe Premier Pro for basic video editing. There is a lot to learn between now and when I leave, and the best way is to learn the tech to build up muscle memory. My aim is to make it as easy as possible so I can pump out daily vids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now however is a frustrating process. I want to be an expert yesterday, but some things you just have to do the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My first flight with the Mavic 2 drone was a non-event. In an experience common to most tech platforms, I turned the power on and was rewarded with a message to download firmware updates.&nbsp; After a bit of download, I was back at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/renando.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/unnamed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-214\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The drone is incredibly easy to fly, but there is a depth of complexity behind the controls. I will come up to speed, but we did have a play with the auto-tracking feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The drone is controlled through a smart phone connected to the controller. You can then turn on a function to tell the drone to track an object. What you are seeing in the video is the drone flying itself.\u00a0 I did not touch the controls apart from playing with adjustments on the angle in which it tracked. Very cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Drone Tracking test with the Mavic 2\" width=\"940\" height=\"529\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gjkc7Fv_C1c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the process I am going to need to get structured .&nbsp; Capturing footage through multiple sources (drone, Dh5, 360, Go Pro), bringing it together in Premier, exporting, uploading to YouTube, writing, publishing.&nbsp; Every day.&nbsp; Ten months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am conscious I will have three full time roles.&nbsp; First is the PhD student, collecting data in a systematic way. Second is the tour manager and promoter, capturing and sharing stories and raising the profile of entrepreneur ecosystem exemplars across Australia. Third is the managing director of a measurement platform that helps hubs and programs map and measure their impact. These are all interrelated, but each will require a degree of discipline. The more I learn and automate now, the easier it will be to maintain while on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drawing a metaphor from tech, the process ideally moves like an autonomous drone, following along with minimal controls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So&nbsp;I published my tour Saturday on LinkedIn.
