Sunday night I drove out to the desert again for another brief overnight campout and a chance to get some more practice with my Mavic Pro camera drone. It's going to take me a while to get the video footage edited, but in the meantime here are some stills...
Some aerial photos of my campsite:
On the trail:
This part of the desert has an isolated stretch of old Highway 80 that was cut off and abandoned when the freeway was built:
Crash-landed my drone on some rocks, when a call came in on my phone during a crucial moment and interrupted the landing. I have to remember to switch my phone to "Do Not Disturb" mode when flying the drone. Surprisingly, the Mavic survived with only a few tiny scuffs on the blades:
After leaving the desert, I made a couple stops in the mountains to do some more flying. First stop was to get aerial shots of a pair of long, tall freeway bridges crossing a scenic valley:
Also got some aerial shots of forests and meadows:
And here's me and Megaweapon, in a shot taken with the Mavic:
