I’m yet to trust Litchi with any of mine on a mission :blush:

It most certainly is a psychological hurdle!
At least, at all times, the RC was in GOOD connection … so I knew it was following instructions. :+1:
(Also knew that Sport Mode would override instantly, too! :fearful:)

I think the main hurdle is trusting myself to set it up correctly.

#13 - Steam Train

Watercress Line - Ropley - Hants

It is what it is, really. As it came off the SD card.

Could have stabilised the vid, but you can see from the trees that it’s a tad breezy - so I think too little movement would look strange. I might try some time.

I’d walked a bit, through the woods to the right, to get somewhere nice and close to the line … but options for a patch to take off were zero.
Cleared a small bit of the undergrowth just large enough … even though the trees were my head height above.
Snuck up a couple of feet, then sidled my way out from between the foliage.


Flew to the far side of the line since the train would get a splash of sunshine on the sides from there. :+1:

#19 - Wind Turbine

Sparsholt - nr Winchester

Thought this one was going to be impossible. It took a LOT of Googling. Ended up searching planning permissions! LOL!

The roads near these were busy with no little spaces to pull off the road. Ended up having to fly best part of a mile downwind to get this clip … and daren’t try any further in case getting back into wind was going to be a struggle. Needn’t have worried, as it happens, was quite OK.

I’m on my hols at the moment and no Mavic Air with me sad :pensive:. But as @OzoneVibe says, I have done a lot of googling and have a couple of days set aside and some miles to do in order to move up the leaderboard :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:. Trouble is p, as @ozone and I are so close, he is getting to some locations before me, so hope they don’t need to be unique… :wink:

No way i’ll Be doing that with my new Mavic Air at the moment!!!

Don’t worry - you’ll get great pics!
Just the getting back could be an issue. :wink:

#5 - Crop Circle

That was a long night … sneaking about in a crop field … stakes, string and pieces of wood.

Pleased with the results when I went back to grab a clip and a pic.

Now for some sleep.

(I fib, too!)
