Are you overseas? Might be a copyright thing cause I used a Steve miller song.

 

[Grayford2012]

Nope, in the great USofA

Love it!

 

[Bear64]

Great job! Love it!

Same here .. can’t watch

Hey bud, love the shots. I was thinking of doing something similar as I live near lots of these things. I was wondering/worrying about the drone getting sucked into the airflow though. Did you ever have the drone “straight on” facing the front of the windmill kinda close?

Really cool.

The only airflow is the wind that's turning the wind turbine.
They use wind - they don't make it.

I get that every once in awhile. Tried different browsers to no avail. Its not only on here that this happens. If its a youtube video I click on youtube and it plays. Go figure

Yeah, but they do create air currents. I was just wondering if they created enough to have any effect on drone flight. From the drone videos I’ve seen the answer seems to be “no”, but I don’t think if seen an up close, straight on shot.

The wind that goes through them is the same that you're in when flying around - yeah they do make some turbulence but nothing significant.

Cool, thanks. Next nice day I'm going to go film some.

When I shot this video it was morning and the wind was just starting to pick up. If it was windy and they were really cranking I would steer well clear of them though I think it would be okay to stay above them. The shot where I fly through the blades appears to be slow motion but that was normal speed. The turbine was just starting to roll so I took advantage of it. These are something that I wanted to shoot for a long time and lucky for me I arrived at a good time.

Looked awesome mate.

Nicely done. Getting a still of one of these in just the right position is a PITA...

You are very game flying through the blades [emoji4]
They can be moving deceivingly fast.

I filmed the Hornsdale wind farm with the Tesla battery bank a little while ago.
It’s very isolated in the states mid north, South Australia.
