Performed perfectly. I become more impressed with this drone everytime I fly it!

Andy,
Great shots.
Did you do any videos and were they steady? With 30 MPH winds?

Absolutely WOW shots, great light and contrast captured in the right moments! I am honestly impressed, thank you!
P.S. But please get used to the forum software allowing you to include all pictures in the original post already. It is soooooooooooo easy ;-)

Andy,

Honestly mate, it could have been windless conditions. I flew over half a mile away at 350' AGL and the drone remained at a constant air speed of 18MPH with perfectly level horizons in p-mode. The first pick above was at that distance from me hovering and it is not cropped. I flew back with the wind in Sport mode and hit 43MPH at one point. The wind was so fast that I could not hear the MA's motors - and that is saying something LOL. Solid performance and the flight lasted just over 15 minutes - in those winds and in Sport mode I was expecting 10 minutes.

Nice shots. Evertime I use and think about my Air and Pro I’m finding it hard to want to keep hold of my Pro. The AIR is just incredible! 30 mph winds, I wouldn’t dare fly either of them though! Good work mate.

Thanks mate - I didn't plan on even going out but as you know it's hard not to with the MA. I wanted to test it in these winds and OMG - it was solid as a rock mate!

Yes, it is quite stable indeed :-) You might have overlooked my P.S. added a few seconds later though ;-)

Bit of a risk as probably even faster at 350' AGL but no drift, no drop in air speed, level horizons - performed like a champ and I got into the positions I wanted to capture these stills and ten minutes of 2.7K video. You'll find that the descent speed doubles to around 6.7MPH whilst the MA is in forward flight.

Thanks. Just a couple of little tweaks in IOS photos. I don't do editing.

I use the HDR function built into the camera settings for stills - always. Works well on the MA. The drone does a lot of the boring crap itself - auto stitches panos, 120fps in FHD imports at that frame rate, Horizons are dead centre using the rule of thirds. It's just easy and that is what I paid for. I found the MP/P needed a bit of work in post but once done gave similar images to be fair. The most noticeable difference is watching 4K video from the MA - no artefact in the footage.
