You were on a tall ladder to get that shot. LOL

Good job. There is something so cool when the drone comes up and out of tall trees.

Only 1 flight. Would have been much better if I could have moved around the park to get other perspectives.

Great cinematography again Colin. Love the way you kept it moving following the contours of the landscape. Different heights and speeds also helped. Quite a tidal differential at this place!

Here is my vid from the flight. A couple more flights from different parts of the Park would have helped.

Did they actually confiscate the drone when you walked off the ship on to Labadee?

Great vid. You used the landscape perfectly draw the viewer in.

Arrived at takeoff point 30 min before sunrise. Unbeknownst to me there was another drone pilot at the site tucked off down a path behind a fence and trees. First 2 flights no problem. In the middle of third flight my quad out about 700' seemed to be moving without my control. I looked up from...

Hey Rick, Have another item for Pre-Flight checklist.........determine if there is anybody else flying in your area. My morning flight was quite interesting. More to come on General Discussion.

While ending my flight in Melbourne Beach yesterday a couple pulled up alongside me. The guy behind the wheel asked me if I was for hire to get some video of his vacant property that he is going to build on. I told him I was not doing anything commercially but I would gladly do a complimentary...
