I was downtown for an event and captured a few minutes of a few of the bridges in Portland, Oregon. I didn't get all of the bridges as there are a lot. They call it Bridgetown for a reason. :)

The opening shot is from the other side like you suggest and it does look better. Unfortunately the power lines on that side are in the way and I wouldn't have been able to get the same kind of close up shots that I did from there. It's hard to get good shots when you know there are power lines...

Now THAT'S an odd setup. We have at least one other ferry like the Canby one, underwater cable and electric. The Willamette River doesn't have any major traffic. There's a falls (and no lock) just north of the Canby Ferry so no passage there. So all of the traffic is local and recreational so...

A nice relaxing video watching the Canby Ferry on the Willamette River near Portland, Oregon. There has been some flooding in the area which is why the river looks high and dirty. There wasn't a lot of traffic on this Saturday afternoon but there were some motorcyclists having a nice ride. This...

Tualatin has been ok, the river won't go over the banks. Apparently in 1996 is was way worse and Tualatin was heavily affected.

This was the first large scale bridge video I've shot. It certainly took everything the Mavic Air 2 had to take in this over a mile long bridge. I hope you enjoy.

Why would it be hard to take off from?

Yeah, normally I do but I was in a rush to get it up.

Spent a couple days documenting the flooding from the recent storms.

Location: Are you in an urban area or neighborhood? A lot of ambient wifi will degrade your signal. Transmission setting: Is it set to auto? Interference: Things between you and the drone will degrade the signal. Go somewhere with a clear line of sight and see how far you can get.

Bob, do you ever frequent the Access Norton forum? Here’s my other Norton.

Regardless it shouldn't fly erratically if it's either too close or loses lock it should stop. It should never fly closer or farther away from it's current location.

I had my first autonomous failure. I was doing a POI in tripod mode. I selected my bike and then in POI you just move the stick left in the direction it’s going to rotate around the selection. As you can clearly see when it gets to the other side of the bike it freaks out. It’s not responding to...

Me either except when I fly too far away. Latest firmware.

I haven't noticed a difference. But I love the feature. Especially helpful at dusk coming back from a sunset shot.
