Gaui 330X Quadcopter at Bootham School

Bootham School is a nice school in the centre of York that was established by Quakers in 1823.

It's a place that people pass all the time on the main street of Bootham, but most are unaware of how large it is and how far back it goes from the street, apart from the people who work and study there of course.

This aerial video shows the cricket/football ground, the school observatory, the theatre and media building (inside and out) and the back of the main building that houses the library and a few other areas.

You can also see an area that is dug up for the construction of a new tennis court that is being built during the summer holidays.

It was a nice sunny day but a little windy in some places around the buildings. I'm fairly happy with how the video has turned out in general, but it is a bit shaky in places which I believe is due to a loose linkage in my camera mount that I hadn't noticed at the time. There is also a pink spot when the camera faces the sun, which is probably cause by a speck of dust or dirt on the front of the lens and is concentrated into lens flare and a fine dot when at the right angle to the bright sun.

I would like to have another go at aerial filming at Bootham School to try and get a slightly less wobbly effect, and to get some more of the building included, perhaps the front street side too. It would also be nice to see it with the tennis court finished and none of the construction paraphernalia lying around.
