I know this is not about Phantom models, but I documented a had sustained speed of over 70mph with a top speed of 72.12 mph with an old Phantom 2 back in 2014 in ATTI mode that was recorded in a FlyTrex Speed Challenge. . I have not tried a speed run with my Mavic 2 yet.

Ref: "If the drone has been flown downwind and has to return upwind the drone may not have enough battery charge to make it back to the home point." Back in 2014 I was flying at a resort on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. I began my flight by flying out over the ocean with a Phantom 2...

Ref: Sometimes it just takes YT a while for the higher res to show up. This probably the case. YT normally processes and produces videos at the lowest resolution first and works its way up to 4K.

For the Blackwater Falls State Park you simply walk up to the Lodge's check-in counter and state that you would like to fly your drone in the park and ask for the "Blackwater Falls State Park Unmanned Aircraft" form that requires your signature. The important point is to not disturb other...

Here are a few tips that may or may not apply to your video: I prefer not seeing drone takeoff footage. Although not seen in your footage, I try to avoid scenes where the drone's shadow is in the video or the person controlling the drone, unless that person is the point of interest. Shots...

From time to time I like programming missions. I prefer Litchi for the Mavic 2 Zoom. Here is a recent mission programmed. Although this mission is within controller signal the entire time it could easily be done beyond signal. Sorry to hear the newer DJI drones will lose this capability...

Nice story and important for others to remember. Some drones will return to home but if they have their sensors on and have avoidance features they will not crash into the rock, instead, they are suppose to go up and over the feature that is in the way. For the Mavic 3 it does have advance...

Thanks for the compliment. I still need to work on my flying skills. As for climbing, I am not in this video but have climbed out to the pinnacle shown in the picture below located under the "t" in the words 'North Peak". It is about the same place as you see one of the casual climbers in...

There are over 100 climbing routes at Seneca Rocks. It is hard to say the specific route that the first scene's climbers used that are shown in the "gunsight notch", but it appears they are following one of the Gunsight to South Peak routes from the west face. I say the west face because you...

Things I like: Sound track Syncing of scenes with sound Variation of scenes, angles, inside vs. outside clips. Things I would change: You gimbal pitch seems to be set to 90 degrees (Horizon is mostly center in the frame) I would pitch your view down in the following scenes about 6 to 12...

Attached is my Checklist that I use for my Mavic 2 zoom. Things can be adapted to other DJI drones.

Here is my latest video at Blackwater Falls:
