Thank you all.

Yeah. That town, while small, is quite pretty and peaceful. Also, lots of places around to fly. Got like 250 GiB of raw video still in my pipeline for creating new content.
This was my first time flying so low over water so I had to test the limits of the drone's sensors. Also, there were quite a few power and TV lines around, So I had to scout the whole thing on foot, establish flight corridors, decide what and how to shoot, and also do some tests runs before recording the shots I wanted.
It was, overall, quite fun.
Stuff I learnt while filming this:
- Sensors will almost certainly never detect powerlines. Did some tests, and it won't see them.
- Downward sensors did manage to reliably detect the surface of the water. I could not make it land over water.
- Be wary of wireframe structures.
- Spend a few batteries doing test runs before doing the actual shots.
- Scout the area so you know what to expect along your flight path.
- RTH -> HOVER when flying with overhead obstacles.
- Don't be scared of pushing the limits of what the aircraft can do. That way, you'll know what to expect when something awry happens. It's a good way to build confidence.
- Get a bigger screen for flying. FPV googles > Tablet > Phablet. You'll notice a lot more details while flying which will allow you to better decide what to shoot.
