Perhaps a wee bit foolhardy to attempt to fly such a place, but sometimes you have to push the envelope, to try things that scare you, even at risk of losing the drone.
To do any less, to back down, would be to admit defeat and that you have reached as far along your growth cycle as you are comfortable enough to traverse, and sometimes you just have to screw up your courage and go for it. This was a case of the latter!
Perhaps not the best conditions to fly, but the powerful Falls of the Braan in Autumn were just too good to miss, and despite the spray and uncertain wind shear in the gorge, it just had to be done!
A first overflight, then a test inspection, followed by a flight under the bridge and close call wth the branches (the second flight under the bridge on the video) and then another flight up the falls (the first time under the bridge) provided some interesting footage, showcasing the power of the falls in full flow, despite the spray and the camera lens getting covered in spray.
Overall, not a place to take lightly, a passerby told me they had lost their MINI3 Pro trying to fly under the bridge previously, so he was amazed my AVATA2 made it in such rough conditions...
Anyhows, enjoy the somewhat tricky and perilous flight
