Mavic Pro fly's in abandoned warehouse.

History: The waterworks was built in 1913 to filter and treat water taken from the Dale Dike (the cause of the 1864 great flood of Sheffield), and Agden reservoirs in the nearby Loxley Valley. The waterworks was cutting edge technology in its time and it even had the first telephone to be installed in Bradfield back in 1930 apparently. In 1974 the Yorkshire Water Authority took over and then during the Thatcher government some years later, the entire UK water industry was privatised with the Water Act of 1989. The pumping house at Lower Bradfield was abandoned in 1994 when a new pump house and processing plant was built Further down the Loxley valley. According to the locals the building attracts unwanted visitors and is a constant eyesore and a morbid reminder of Lower Bradfields grim past Please take a look at Jeanette Pickering Facebook group and join us in making our channels grow.

Nicely flown video. Good piloting job, but I think YouTube really messed up the video quality.
It was quite fuzzy even though I selected watching it in 1080, 1440 and 4K, the quality never improved.
When you flew into the warehouse, did you lose GPS? How did the mavic respond?

Thanks for watching mate, Yeah that was my fault, I didn't have it in autofocus and I think that's why it was all a little fuzzy. I had the drone in Tripod mode which was perfect for the job. I had to start it outside and fly it in with all the metal but it responded quite well.
