Yesterday i flew for the first time over the water at a Harbor ind Denmark..
it was soo creeepy at first because the drone was not calibrated good enought. so i went on shore and did the dji Dance and went back.
I dont know if it was me or the drone.
But when i gave some inputs from the controller to the drone i would not act as i wanted to..
it was all over the place.. so i turned it on and of a couple of times and then the drone was almost normal behaving.
I will say that i was nervous, because it was my first time.
But in the end i flew the missions as we should and we did not chrash eny drones. So i am very happy everything went well.

And how do you turn bottom sensors off on a spark?
The only way I know of is using black tape.

i know hitting a tree turns the front sensor off lmao

Here is what happens when you fly to close to the water :-)

This is my footage taken by my drone. I was just flying backwards when the drone decided to take a dip in the ocean, I guess I was lucky. It also can happen higher up. During the same session I lost connection to the drone while flying away from the beach. Later when I reviewed the footage you could clearly see how the drone rapidly lost altitude. Luckily I was 20 meters up, would have lost my drone otherwise.

that looks like you are a lucky pilot!

Damn dude, you actually kissed the water.
Hope yo didn't start a new trend, can I kiss the water.

I've flown 44 flights and nearly all of them have been over water, it's no biggie

Every time...I'm nervous as heck...almost makes me sick.  Shouldn't be an issue...but every time...
