After installing the new firmware 00004 and testing, this is the first flight to do something useful, like taking this pic of the island harbour. With so many flight issues previously, I decided not to fly untill the update came out.

Hardly any wind, 6.30pm with setting sun and plenty of soft vegetation to catch the drone if it were to drop from the sky.
Actually, everything seems perfect again.
I have returned to my sterile, Samsung J7 with Oreo and no updating of apps or any
unnecessary
apps. although before the firmware update, it was a cascade of different errors with the drone.
Hope you like the Lo-Res photo.

Thank you for you comment, greatly appreciated.
There is a sea mist approaching.
I remember being at the harbour one evening when the mist rolled in and it was quite odd to see it. One large yacht was in bright sunset and the other half was whited out with the mist.
A photographer on the island has an amazing harbour shot with the mist at night. Quite eerie.

Thank you for the kind words.
Here on the island we have black rabbits, blond hedgehogs and when the pubs close, often pink elephants.

Actually, I have been flying drones for a couple of years. Phantom 3 Pro and 2 Mavic Pro.
The point was, because of all the issues about the firmware and ORIO, I had to stop flying.
That was the first flight after grounding.
Thanks for the nice reply.
I usually take much closer views, but I quite liked this distant one.
