Will I crash? With the backup of having the DJI care refresh policy for my Air 2, I decided to challenge my flying skills and fly through the branches of a grove of dead live oak trees on Mount Diablo, just Northeast of San Francisco. My goal was to try capturing the spooky nature of these trees.
The backwards flying was especially challenging for me.

All flying in sport mode, filmed with an ND64, 4K 60fps, Air 2.

prob wouldn't have been in sports mode but if you have another drone to fly while yours in the shop, why not?  the flying season is nearing an end so....

I always feel more comfortable in sports mode in case I have to move fast for some reason. But yeah, T mode would have been a good choice.

I imagine the flying season in the San Francisco area is year round.

yeah I didn't notice the bay area.  sure wish I had that kind of weather.  I have maybe a month left and then it's fly only on good days....until march.

You sure are a brave man, your user name suits you

I love flying low over tree tops but never in Sport mode myself as I have never bought care refresh - nicely done

In the NW when it stops raining is a time to fly because if we wait we'll grow moss.

Nice flying, you are definitely a brave man.

Hi. Thank you for sharing this exciting video footage you have captured. Please fly with caution to ensure a safe return of the drone. Thank you and safe flying.
