Nice shots of "Big Mac"!

Thanks jacksonnai, maddox, and ghostdr. I appreciate the views. It's an enourmous bridge when you actually get up close. 5 MILES LONG! My Mavic Air only made it half way up the first cables and then it started losing signal and I didn't want to push it because I was 1.5 miles away. Made me a little nervous that I was going to run out of battery before I got back tot he beach, but I was just overthinking. Made it back with plenty of juice.

That tiny planet is magic. Like the angle you got on that tower.

Very beautiful footage and shots, thank you!

Thanks Charissa! I love doing Tiny Planets of water towers. I need to make a new tutorial on that. It's a lot with the position of your drone that gives it that pop! Thanks for the comments.

You are very welcome and yes I am.

You are very welcome and yes I am.

Just to change topics for a second. Can you point me to an extensive list of drone rules you follow in Germany. I know you have mentioned in the past you need a metal ID tag. Do you need one if you are only visiting and will be flying only a handful of times? Asking for a friend who is traveling there soon. Thanks

The problem is that the rules do not differentiate between citizens and short term visitors. On the other hand there is some logic in applying the flight safety rules to all. Yes, a metal plate with name and contact details is needed and a third party liability insurance as well. I am in a big hurry now but shall send you a link to all rules later today.

Very Nice

Thanks Suren. I'm going to make a few more videos of Mackinaw City. There were a couple really nice beaches that I captured some really great footage. I highly recommend this area for drone pilots, however Mackinaw Island is still a strick NFZ. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Much appreciated.

This article is quite good and also provides two official links: https://uavcoach.com/drone-laws-in-germany/

Also meant to mention that you were rather brave. Usually a lot of gusty wind over the straits!

Music made me smile from ear to ear. Nice

Awesome. Nice work.

Magnificent video.
Beautiful scenery. Great job with the editing and a nice choice of music.
The stills and the tiny planet were breathtaking.  Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Charissa. I like it too. I get most of the music I use from Bass Rebels. Nice little channel with TONS of copyright free music.

Thanks B1houdini. I should have got more 360 Panos, but I was distracted with the bridge and the beach. I better start making a checklist for next time. We want to go back in the Fall if we have time.
