It was cold. I was having a heck of a time getting my mavic air to compass calibrate. Moved location away from the lookout building that had cables holding it down....Took my keys out of my pocket/phone too. then it dawned on me... I was wearing my convertible finger less gloves that had magnets in them. Doh!

Here is the video I shot :

 
Brilliant video, sod living in that house on the cliff;)

Thanks! The building is a retired forest service fire lookout. It's open to the public. Just an empty building. We camped on a flat spot on the lower ridge just before the treeline. Same night some others slept in the lookout. Pretty epic place. 2 hour drive from Seattle and just over a mile hike to get there.

Here is my video from the summer:

My thoughts too. A little too much celebrating after dinner in that local may be a touch risky.
I’m thinking that spot is what the term “bird’s eye view” originated from.

I saw that myself. Didn’t want to mention that myself for fear of the gremlins swooping in and knocking it off its perch. Now it will be on you if it does. Lol.

Yah it's a pretty dramatic crack.
