The more I fly my Inspire the more I like it. Here's a two minute video from this evening's flight over the Palo Alto Baylands Preserve.

Enjoy!

Nice video

Nice!

I was wondering, when you do these kinds of videos, are you actually watching the bird itself or are you just watching the video stream?

Both, of course. I try to always face the Inspire so I can easily where it is and also what it is seeing. Not unlike driving a car while also checking your speed on the dashboard.

And then the Palo Alto park ranger posted this on Twitter after seeing my video

Ouch. But nice video.

Is it possible to apply for permits to fly over national parks?

There's no info on permits for this park, which is a municipal park. This from a September press release on US National Parks:

"All permits previously issued for unmanned aircraft will be suspended until reviewed and approved by the associate director of the National Park Service’s Visitor and Resource Protection directorate. The associate director must approve any new special use permits authorizing the use of unmanned aircraft. Superintendents who have previously authorized the use of model aircraft for hobbyist or recreational use may allow such use to continue."

Just one Word "Beautiful"

Nicely done.    

Very cool video
