Well, since a 30 sec snippet of my video "Low'n'slow" was noted at the contest (to my pleasant surprise, I must say), here is the full version. Those of you who may find this way visually appealing, be aware: it's a challenge! Some advice you'll find here:

Thank you ... Amazingly, all my birds survived this summer challenges and one or two close calls intact, aside sporadic NFZ confusions. Over 1TB of rough footage will make me busy for a while ...

Thank you for kind words. However, walking and staring on device screen will end up badly in such terrains. No cell coverage there ...

Hahahahahaha. I can imagine.
But how did you manage to fly like this.
Just by checking your screen??

Really nice flying. I'm not brave enough to fly in such close quarters. Well done!

It takes a bit of practicing in nearest city park to get the feel of altitude and distances, to understand various OAS messages and to master proper usage of Narrow Sensing feature in Tripod mode. Calm day is the best since weak and chaotic GPS lock (typical under forest canopy) may - and will - cause unexpected switch into Atti mode. When this happens your bird is at the mercy of even the gentliest breeze ... I'm avoiding long and winding passages as too risky to perform. Most of raw footage contains 2 or 3 slightly correcting turns on average 25m long flight. I would rarely glimpse at screen, ignoring loudly protesting controller. Most of the piloting is done by VLOS. Good planning is the key for success ... Not for chickens, though ...

I love the sound effects you added to it, but I think adding in some music too would be great.

Which tells me you've not been patient enough watching the whole 3 minutes ... The music kicks in at 00:41 ...

I would put that video in a continuous loop and use it for meditation time, except I don't meditate.
