Container ship on St. Lawrence river

[Frits]

Approaching # 100 of flawless flights with the Mavic.
This near Montreal on a gray, dull and colourless mid-winter day. But it was unusually mild (only just near the freezing point) and very little wind, so a good time to take out the Mavic for a bit of play.
The result is a predictably dull clip and I should have removed the ND8 filter that I basically leave on during winter and mostly snowy shooting these days. Didn't even bother to add a sound track...
But it was all fun and a good experience. I look forward to making some keepers when the colours return in spring.

No, I don't. I feel very confident and in control at all times.
Before receiving my Mavic I digested the manual cover to cover and watched many reviews and YouTube videos.
I started out with easy flights and I don't do the "crazy" stuff that I see way too often.
I progressed step by step learning how it behaves and understanding its pretty massive technology and make sure that I stay within its - and my - capabilities.
