I had an 8 nd filter on ? but I had most everything set to auto, due to the tablet having "issues" with the settings I'd been using fro YouTube advice videos (shooting in RAW etc).

No doubt a ton technically wrong with this, only have a tablet & free app to edit. I know it doesn't have a proper ending but didn't have time to film at the harbour today. Oops, had to remove first version, I discovered I hadn't credited the music creator.

Just this week saw mention of heritage sites on a FB group. Apparently no, they don't like flying st their sites.

30+ mph winds here, otherwise a lovely day, can't fly ? west coast of Ireland

Nope, afraid not! Thought I'd taken a pic of the upside down camera view but apparently not. Only proof I got is the cracked prop.

Ok, that would be a second possible negative point ?

Unfortunately where I fly has a lot of regulations preventing a lot of stuff, including placing anything there.

This is the only piece of video I have of a similar reaction from sheep. By my own admission I was just figuring it out, was too heavy on the stick and got too close here unintentionally. The day I got knocked down, I approached two sheep slowly from a ways out. They ran down the hill at the...

It's ok, only cost me €12 for a set of new props ?

I'll just put all replies into one post instead of quoting everyone. I've already tried to make it bark, bought some "littlebits" electronics, basically a battery, light sensor, mp3 player and speaker. It works by turning the landing light on & off as a switch. However, the speaker is gutless...

Nah, well yeah, but just at the upside down end bit! I try different tactics. Some get used to the drone faster than others, they will just stare at it a few meters in the air and not budge. So I try to work it like a dog on those, very low down, then creep towards them slowly. Possibly feels...

Yeah. I herd them with the drone, some of which involves flying very low and slow. Most sheep will either walk or run the direction you want. Some don't, they prefer to run at the drone. I've been charged a few times before, just didn't push up in time today.

Bit of an Oops moment. Knocked out of the sky by enemy action Yup. A ? got my ? My own fault, slow to react, saw it coming. A bit of a walk and one badly cracked prop later (replaced all 4 just in case), Buzz Lightyear as I've christened my M2 seems to be good. Ended upside down in some...

So, a little while ago I bought a battery clip from MaxxUAV EU. That's as far as I have got with that idea thus far. The idea being more minutes in the air rather than extra distance. A possible issue presents itself for the type of flying I do, "nap of the earth" in military terms. Very low...

That was my plan ? With the testing added in thanks to this thread, maybe it wasn't a silly question after all.
