Another great video Chad!
Congratulations.
Let me ask you something, when you take-off from inside the vehicle doesn't the aircraft Mini 2 requires you to do a compass calibration before?
Because in my case always does. And I have to go out of the car and perform the calibration outside.
Have nice flights!

Thanks...Yes it does; however, sometimes it doesn't require me to do one.  But that day I had to do a calibration so I did it outside the car then came back inside.  It was good from there for the safety check and launch.  But I may have just been lucky that day.

I can imaging sitting in a parked car when a hand holding a mini emerges. Be a great moment.
I was wondering if you were going to land via the sunroof

You're welcome.
I like the perspective change that causes the clouds to move at a different pace as the rest of the 'world' when you move up and tilt the gimbal.

Lol...I think there were people in a car near me that that looked over when they heard the props spin up.

True.. I guess that would affect the accuracy of the compass on the fly app.

I basically only fly from inside the car during cold Winter months.  It asked for compass calibration often. I ignore (do it at your own risk) it now since the app allowed me to take off. I open the sunroof halfway and put the drone on top of the sunroof.  Close sunroof and land it on the sunroof. Just make sure it land near the centre just in case it slides off  the car roof.

I love your daring attitude, but would not try to do this myself. Not yet anyway, until i get more familear with my new drone. Good on you and love the shots..

Yeah, It also asked me to calibrate, which I did outside the car then went back in.

I love the versatility of this drone. I haven't done a hand-launch yet (out of fear, ha), but this has inspired me a bit more - so thanks!

So here's a dumb question...how do you get the drone overlay to record as part of the video?

Chad B. Something I really enjoyed, and nice scenery.  I would be always alert to any police wanting to know what I was there doing.   
As noted the clouds in the pond were eye catching.  Thanks for sharing.  I am going to give it a try - some day
