Here’s (my entry) a smooth dive of a high emblematic structure in Croydon at 8am on a Sunday (03/05) when the parking is empty and the sun is shining. A little bit of roll at the right time for style and avoiding going below the trees for safety and finesse as requested!

The quad is my self built sub250 o4 pro with a ND16 (can’t believe the sun was that good!).

And somehow, I could not resist a historical reference in the sound track.

Hope you enjoy!

This isn’t my official entry, but I thought I’d post something to get the ball rolling. I was planning to dive off the end of the cliff, but a young couple decided to settle themselves right at the bottom of it.

By the time they moved on, the sea had crept in a bit more. Factoring in the wind, the water, the rock pools, and the drone only weighing 40g, it definitely proved a challenge.

HERE IS MY ENTRY

Firstly though, apologies, this is about as “urban” as it gets where I live… …and I’m new to this FPV lark, so it’s been done with a Motion Controller as I’ve not got to grips with Manual mode yet.

Situated on the Blackdown Hills, the 53m high Wellington Monument is the tallest three-sided obelisk in the world. Built to commemorate the Duke of Wellington’s victory over Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo, construction started in 1817, but enthusiasm for the project waned as the Duke’s popularity diminished. The design was revised and a cheaper, scaled back version was finally completed in 1854. Given the monument was built to commemorate Wellington’s victory over Napoleon, and it was filmed late in the evening, there was one obvious soundtrack… :wink:

Ok not sure if I’ve made the wrong choice of challenge or whether people are struggling to find somewhere to do this.

So let’s open the scope up a little and make it any kind of dive, not just urban dives, if everyone’s happy with that??

This is my entry (for now).

It’s not very high, so it’s not much of a drop, but it is pretty and it is urban.
