That would have been my post also. The drone does belong to the insurance company legally and it is not yours to repair or to play about with before asking the insurance company what they want doing with the drone. They may well say do what you want but you do need to ask them first. In your...

Thanks for the feedback. Few people have said really enjoyed the music and a few have said too laid back. I thought it went with the idea of a chilled flight around a secluded light house but I take your point. Music never been my strong point lol

Sorry missed one of your question is was about 350 feet away. Very difficult to see the drone from that distance but could justify that it was still within my line of sight. (But only just) think this is the limit I could legally fly it to be honest. Yes it did have an effect on my decision to...

Thanks for the reply. I am now starting to look at my video with a more critical eye. Even thought it was my first real video. I now think it is a bit boring with the birds giving the additional interest subject. I was so nervous flying over water then I could see the birds perched on the...

That is an amazing video, I am complete newbie posted my first video this week. WOW I hope I get half as good as that. I enjoy editing and adding the music didn't think about adding sound effects. you have and boy does it work.. Fantastic work congrats

Thanks I must admit the video was short because I decided I was risking it for my first real video over water LOL

Hi KurtPH I don't use the Mavic app for video editing. I use iMovie which is free with Apple Mac computers. I have used it for a few years and it is relatively easy to use. If I was using windows and not a Mac I would use adobe Premier pro or something like that.

Hi Redvers I use this website to check where I can fly or not fly Where To Fly Your Drone in the UK it shows locations on a map near you and write ups from other drone pilots. "Any Special provisors to observe". I keep my fingers crossed LOL if you look on the map I sent the link for it will...

Summer was on a Saturday this year LOL

Yep I thought the POI worked very well. I moved over onto the beach a little later (It was empty ) and tried all of the preset flight manoeuvres great fun

It a very shallow estuary so it was set up to keep ships ovary from the sandbanks etc been decommissioned many many years

Thanks for the compliments. re the birds I think my reactions were slow due to panic rather than a pro LOL

I sure did LOL being over water was nerve racking then the birds that's why its a short video LOL there were also birds perched on the lighthouse hence I kept my distance, I thought it might spook them if I went closer and then they would fly into the drone..

Hi Boxer1200 the area is Whiteford Lighthouse North Gower Swansea South Wales. The Beach is called Whiteford sands. The rotation was done using the point of interest function. I am complete novice and I was nervous enough about being over water and the birds flying close to the drone never mend...

Hi All, Got a drone during lockdown and took delivery a few days after the launch of the New Mavic Air 2. Have just been out and done my first real drone flight video. This lighthouse is called Whiteford Lighthouse on the Gower Peninsular in South Wales UK. It is only a few miles from where I...
