Thanks everyone. The drive from Slocum Creek on the way out to Succor Creek (30 miles) was awesome but a bit sketchy and got some great video of that area I'll post next week. It rained around 1/2" on our last night at Slocum Creek and I heard several campers leaving in the middle of the night...

Thanks! I lived in Oregon back in the early 80's for a few years, beautiful coastal scenery and the Cascade Mountains but few people realize half of Oregon is a desert! Thanks for watching Glad you liked it, thanks

Thanks, I will check that area out next time, maybe this fall

Very Nice. I love the desert and recognize many of those places. The scenes at 3:45-3:47 are spectacular. Can I ask where that is? Thanks and job well done

Yeah, where I live the forests are mostly cactus, so at 10' AGL I have great views! Thanks for watching We camped at Antelope Reservoir on the way also, nice, but got down into the 20's at night! Weather was close to perfect at Slocum Creek campground, but picked up 1/2" or rain on 2nd night...

Absolutely, no worries out there about disturbing anyone, just great landscapes, thanks Yeah, those are the kind of thoughts I have as well, including what this area must have looked like to Native Americans even earlier Hello, this was filmed on Succor Creek road around 20 miles north of the...

Thanks for watching Thanks. The campground is 700 miles from home so the search is over. I doubt anyone will ever discover it because there are no trails up there and it is a very steep climb (especially for a 75 old!) Yeah, I think DJI must have an algorithm that sets the low battery alarm...

Low battery warnings are common with DJI drones below around 60%, even when the drone is nearby. It is apparently just a warning to let the pilot know the status of the battery and can usually be ignored unless the battery level is truely low. RTH normally will return the drone to home, but...

Searching for a lost drone that has disconnected in flight is much different than searching for one that has crashed. This video shows the final flight along with my efforts to locate the drone. There are a lot of ways to go about finding it, but using the data in the DJI Fly app along with the...

Thanks folks. We turned off the main highway looking for a place to camp before it got too dark and stumbled into this canyon around 3 miles from the main road. We were surprised by the beauty of the landscapes, really rugged with lots of character!

I only have the MC 1 and original Avata, but I would have to argue that the MC can provide as good or better control than the RC controller, at least for me. I am fairly experienced witht the RC controller in M mode, especially with the DJI FPV drone, but when flying the avata as low as possible...

Glad you liked it! Thanks, this is probably my favorite area to fly. The old DJI FPV drone is old now but perfect for flying is areas like this because of its speed and distance ability to handle high winds. I was considering the Avata 2 but I think I'll wait to see if they come out with a FPV 2.
