this is a terrible idea! at least i didn't crash. ascending through the canopy of the forest.

as i was filming this.....i really began to think that this is a little too risky.

flying in tight quarters in breezy conditions.

Yea but what a rush eh.
Cool.

Nice, I was really hoping for a straight flight up that corridor though

Man, your forests are so orderly and perfect, it's like God had OCD...

Unless you had spotted a perfect opening above and were eyeballing the opening from below, indeed it was risky. I was expecting to see limbs and needles in the camera lens. The anticipation kept me on the edge. Good video.

It's more like the federal government paid jobless men to plant millions of trees in nice straight rows all over the country.

Nice, but I would have liked to see more of the area and more angles, but still in a 2 minute video.

this is my back yard, so i anticipate more videos here in the future.

Very nice

Great video. I assume you couldn't keep the drone in sight the whole time due to the foliage. How is your signal strength in such a situation? I am hoping to take my Mavic Pro Platinum and DJI goggles with me to Africa next summer and see if I can capture some shots of mountain gorillas, but I am concerned about flying the drone with a lot of vegetation between me and it. Any opinion?

This isn't exactly an African jungle, but the vegetation seems to have little affect on mavic at close range.

I have no doubt that you couldn't fly miles away through dense vegetation, but mavic stays firmly affixed to the rc throug a few tree limbs.

The bigger problem is a stable gps signal. When the canopy is too thick to see the sky mavic struggles with accurate positioning.

I've had no trouble flying mavic through buildings made of concrete and steel while I was outside.
