Highland Ascent - droning up close and personal with Victoria Falls, Wester Ross, Scotland

A week-long holiday in Poolewe - and only 10 miles from Victoria Falls - well, it would have been rude not to fly it at least once!

This is a repeat location for us, we flew here 12 months ago, but I wasn’t 100% happy with the footage we got. There was a higher third fall at the top, which can only be accessed through a short, tightish gorge and by flying under a tree, so this time I was determined to capture the whole set of falls, and to do it nice and low…

Think we got it this time, would be good to hear your thoughts…

Great video (again) Suzanne - and some great flying too. You’re a rather braver pilot than me :saluting_face:

Brilliant, Suzanne. That’s some very smooth flying :heart_eyes:

And brave given the tight clearances… you definitely weren’t getting it back if you dropped it. :face_with_peeking_eye:

Thanks hon, heart was in my mouth for most of the fight, but deffo worth it :slight_smile:

Thanks hon, it was fun, and frightening, but if we dont push our boundaries, how will we know our limits?

Thanks @JoeC, yeah, a bit tight in places, but good signal connection and relatively still in the gorge, so wasn’t too risky - although heart in mouth and pounding tbh… Yup, deffo not able to recover the drone if it went down, but it was worth the efforts I think…

Thanks Rod, don’t think I am particularly brave, just confident in what the drone can do and in my flying skills…

This is exactly how and where I fly in my dreams. But in reality, I am still flying figure of eights over open fields. Thank you for daring and sharing. Awesome video :blush:
