Spectacular 360 Mr. B.  Was that done on the drone or manually stitched?  Either way it really portrays St. Ives in an awesome way.

I looked at the drone-stitched version, and there were mismatch issues.
So I worked on it manually, but I think I overdid the green a little.

Okay, I thought I remember you'd mentioned once before that you were manual stitching your 360s.  You've gotten quite good at it.  

Beautiful part of UK - stunning 360

It's the software that does the business, and then a bit of post-compositing colour adjustment.
If you look at the patch of sand in the harbour, looking across the isthmus, and the sky above, there's a definite un-natural green tint.

Thanks. We spent a few pleasant hours there. It would have been nice to stay a bit longer.

Okay, after looking hard I see what you mean.  However, unless you are a true pixel peeper it looks good to me.  

Cool setting to see the whole harbour around the drone.

It does rather shout to me, since sand shouldn't be green

Thanks Depp. And no-one even spotted the drone

Lovely 360 Mr B.   Can out better than mine from that location.

Did you have windy conditions, though?
That day, the weather was just about perfect.
A light offshore breeze was all I had to contend with.

Yes it was extremely windy when we visited,   even more so up that hill.

Pretty much the whole week I had good conditions for flying.
It was just time that was the limiting factor.

Thats good though,    we dodged wind and rain in October last year,   we will go back earlier in the year next time.

Thanks Charles. I don't often get to fly over the sea, living in land as we do.

The views are beautiful. Enjoy them. Just don't go too low over the water. It can mess with the sensors.

I was conscious of that when I flew for the video I've just published.
Didn't dare get any lower.

I had a student that crashed two over the water. She was at about 20 ft. both times and the drone just landed in the water.

This girl had a sugar daddy that kept buying her drones and telling her she didn't need a class on drone safety. When I told her I had over 1,000 flights and no crashes, she couldn't relate.

There are lots of people that fly and crash.

I've had a couple of incidents, but none that involved loss of drone.
Chipped props or displaced gimbal.
And I broke a leg on my Mini One, but that was by dropping it onto a stone floor, not flying it.
So in my book that doesn't count

It doesn't I chipped a prop flying indoors but no other damage.

The one gripe I have regarding the Mini series, is the fixings for the props.
Tiny screws are almost impossibly fiddly.
The twist on/off type on the larger models are much more practical.

They should snap on like everything else.

Maybe on the Mini5Pro?

Im pretty sure there are no bank holidays in September.

Just the end of the school holidays the first week.
After that, clear through to Xmas, I think.

Thanks Peter. Mini3Pro handled the conditions well. It was a bit windy.
