Nice! That looks like a good altitude for a drone?

I don't like flying so these give me the Willie's. Good work and lovely scenery.

Thanks! Actually, this particular flight was a little bit edgy. When I had the drone up capturing this set, I briefly lost track of the time. Suddenly, warnings sounded for Excessive Wind Speed and Excessive Prop Speed. At the same time, I noticed that the compass/orientation display was non-functional and flashing red, so I was instantly somewhat disoriented and uncertain which direction the drone was pointing. It was 1000 ft downrange, and it needed to return home FAST. So I dropped it to 150ft for less wind speed and was attempting to get orientated when the Low Battery alarm went off and I saw that it had suddenly gone to 20% and was falling rapidly

By the time I found my way home and landed the whole display was red flashing warnings (and that DJI female voice repeatedly telling me what I already knew) and battery was @ 0%!! Drones are fun.

Thanks! I really do recommend a drone! They do require a certain degree of dedication and they can literally bite you :O

Great shots.

Thank you! I keep hovering around the temptation to get a Mavic Air II just for the RAW files

Beautiful shots and scenery, you're making me miss Suches, GA. My bike misses it more.

Thanks- I continue to be fascinated with the perspective afforded by the drone.
