Whilst I wait for my drone licence to arrive (ahem), I've found somewhere I can fly the drone away from buildings and the coppers, nice!
I've clambered up Puig de na Penyal a few times in the past month or two, mainly for some exercise, but the views are rather nice also. I think the phone photos turned out pretty well the other day, but I've been wanting to take some footage of the hill from the sky also.
On the rocky side of the hill there are a couple of small caves which you can see on a couple of the clips. I'm a little scared of taking the drone out of sight for a closer look but perhaps this will happen in around 40 videos time, when I've potentially covered the cost of buying the thing. Odds are though, I'll either get caught or crash the toy before then - hopefully I'll be recording at the time and it'll make for some decent farewell footage.
At some point I'd like to test the 'return to home' feature which uses GPS and the take off coordinates to automatically fly home and land in the same place as takeoff. I've tried this once and had to cancel the landing because I wasn't sure it would land on my hoodie, which had been carefully placed over a patch of stoney path.
The propellers have less than a 2cm gap to the ground if the drone is flat on the floor. Any dodge landing is probably going to damage them and although I have a spare set, I'd rather not have to replace them just yet - even if it the GPS's fault and not mine. I'll need to bring out the iPhone to record this experiment, and I wouldn't be surprised if the battery runs out from full charge during the operation.
Anway, enjoy the views, and the slightly inappropriate music :D
Cheers

Really relaxing tune under the movie , wonderful relaxing moment
I think drum and base can be relaxing too :) Glad you liked it!
Nice - I think the track should have been more lounge-y :D
Try the return to home thing down at the beach where there is a lot of soft sand
The others have been lounge-y, but I agree it was a risky choice :)
The sand isn't flat, and I think that would be a good spot to get arrested/fined. I'll find somewhere though.
Build a sand castle with a pad on top :D
Yes :D
Just need to wait for my license to arrive.................................
You must trust in the hoodie landings mate...All good pilots do. Or, just catch it in your hand. You've got loads of fingers so losing one or two won't matter.
P.s. I watched the whole thing...No vision of people doing rumpy pumpy in the bushes.
I trust the hoodie but not my eyesight - pretty sure it was going to miss and land on a stone though.
Wait til the summer dude, I'll be hiding somewhere doing sweeps of the beach, to ensure everybody is safe ☺
Shark watch...Or will you be focusing elsewhere on the beach?
Nice video! What drone are you flying? The way you talk about ground clearance I’m guessing you’re flying a Mavic...
Cheers! I'm still a total noob but do enjoy the 30 mins you get with a DJI Mini - 249g and tough to spot at times!
I remember another song ,,,, I believe I Can Fly a Drone. ❤️
😀 R Kelly? That song just wouldn't go away!
Right, 🙏🙏
You seem to have a lot of fun flying this around, no wonder you don't want to risk breaking it
Drone license? Then you will be allowed to do what with it?
