THIS IS MY ENTRY

Footage of the fine cliffs of Pembrokeshire - footage captured using a DJI Mavic 3 Classic on Wednesday 17 April, on the north coast of Pembrokeshire, just to the west of Dinas Head. A breezy day, a good 20-25 knot wind, but the mighty Mavic 3 Classic absolutely nailed it!

Is anyone else going to vote for the VOTM competition, or do we close it down due to lack of interest?

Happy to pause the VOTM competitions until the autumn, or to stop altogether, depending on what folks want to do…

I think the problem with a lot of the challenges in the past few months has been the weather Suzanne. Unsuitable for flying a lot of the time. Only 4 entries to choose from. ( not an excuse for people not to vote though) :wink:

Thanks… tbh I think that edit is perhaps the best thing I have put together, the music is perfect the footage works and it is one I am very happy with… Now the trouble is trying to achieve that standard again and again… Lol!
