I felt the same sense of relief that you no doubt did, when the drone made it through.

Yes, I didn't know if the cold would affect the signal. I was more worried about flying so close to the twigs on the trees.

I thought you were going to trim them at one point. I was waiting for the Plummet into the water

Im pleased you didnt risk the Mavic 2 Pro in there,  phew.

Yes, I did get a bit close, didn't I.

No DA,I treasure my M2P and only fly that out in the relative open.

I've attempted those kind of antics myself once or twice, then chickened out at the last minute

There are a couple of structures in my local park which I have on occasion flown through archways and gaps. I try and do that only when it is relatively quiet though.

Hi,

A cold hands video i guess   ;-)
At 1m12s   wow  so close to few twigs!

Flying under the bridge....speeding up to make time under bridge short as possible.
Hart beat 170 ??

Nice to see the log to check the GPS signal under the bridge.
cheers

I note that you say - There is a larger one, in the title.
I think I would have opted for that as being easier.
Or were you testing yourself to the limit?

In your experience, JJB.
If a waypoints mission was setup, with a waypoint on either side of such a bridge, with height AG set appropriately so that the trajectory would pass safely under the arch (assuming no twigs or other obstacles) - would the  mission complete even if GPS signal was lost?
I guess Obstacle Avoidance would have to be off as well.

Hi,

Nice question.
Depending on the waypoint settings, drone will hover or RTH when loosing GPS.
Afaik is the option "continue" not available in the EU.

I think that OA is always enabled during waypoint mission, but will check that in my next flight.

Not really, the smaller one is more isolated. The larger one is closer to Bridge of Orchy hotel etc. Too many nosey people!

Hi,

Nice question.

Although I haven't used it for quite a while, I seem to remember that Litchi had a setting, along the lines of "If signal lost, complete the mission" - but I'd have to check that.

Fair enough

Your a brave man flying that close to trees and under the bridge but nice footage.

Nice one, I bet your butt was clenching

Wow, that was some really nice flying.    Love the cold, wintry scenes....but only because I was not out in it filming.  

Man great video.  I was nervous that you were going to hit some those branches.  Otherwise great job with it.  I can't wait to see that video of yours when it is warmer.
