OK, all, looking for any feedback on this video.  Never took my P4 over the water before and I was....a little freaked out to say the least, but I think that it turned out well.

Nice one. Just remember to set your RTH point and don't go too low above water. Also don't go too far into water/lake, like one or two miles, sometimes drones won't have enough battery to come back because of flying upwind on the way home.

Very nicely done - I'm still experimenting with this myself. It's retrieving the drone by hand-catching that's the fun part.

Here was my first over water video.  Very nerve racking I must say.

Tokenbrit,  Yes, I had to catch AND take off by hand...VERY difficult...and would not recommend to anyone.  Love your photo!

bluegrassaudio,  I can totally tell the difference between the two video's...much more confident in the 2nd...AND I only saw you twice.  I try to spot the quad operator in all video's I see to see if I can spot them...you did stay well hidden.

Not to bad on the video's and it totally looks like a party I would partake it.  Good job.

Thanks.  We like to party I use about 15ft of USB cable along with my IPad Pro and just walk around. I very rarely look at the video screen . I might have somebody look at the screen for adjustments.
