This is a video of recent water flyover from my neighborhood to the Jupiter LIghthouse and home with DJI Spark fly more combo.

The total distance was around 2900 feet from home point. I was pleased with the performance, but want to do future videos using sport mode to speed things up.

Wow, nice...how many battery switches did you do?  Flying in regular mode, or tripod mode?

When I know that I am high enough to not hit things, like in this video, I turn off OA. Gives you a little more speed without having to go into sport mode. Nice video.

wow, nice video. You got some very good range. Any issues with the video feed at 2900 FT? are you flying via OTG cable ?

This was battery one, I was not in tripod mode, but have used that on the beach. I have run out two full batteries before with no issues so far.

Great suggestion thank you. Will give that a go soon. I will say I am a little hesitant to do more water flyovers with all the dropping out of the sky issues, but I have not had any such issues thus far.

Thanks for the nice comment. Great questions. I had two 1-2 second video cutouts on the iPhone 7 plus, but it came right back on. I definitely had more range and could have possibly made it to the mouth of the inlet if I was bold enough. My goal is to hit 1 mile a tad over 5K feet. I was flying wi-fi only, I have never used the OTG cable.
