'Twas a (relatively) balmy summers eve
We were enjoying the fresh air and the sea
the mini2, SWMBO and me
with the sun mostly down, in the moonlight Tai flew
just to see what we could see out over the sea

Scary for sure, 'cos returning I could not see
the mountain behind me
for darkness was upon me
but safe back on the ground
with smiles all around
here's for you to see.

Flown from Clarence drive near Gordon's bay on the False bay coast of the Western Cape South Africa

Beautiful sunset footage Droffarc.

Great sunset!

it looks very well, much better than the low light view of the Mavic Mini

Thank you, the return to home was nerve wracking because of the proximity of the mountain behind me and all I really had to navigate after I stopped the rth was the car lights - it was really dark!
You say the MM low light view is not as good? I will not try this again in a hurry.

Thank you Downtown

You're very welcome.  

peaceful and eerie at the same time.  I wish I had such courage.

There is a fine line between courage and stupidity. I think what I had was the latter.

Maybe the fact you acknowledge the latter is evidence of the former

You recon?

yeah in the darkness the Mavic Mini is not so good, still not bad but even not good. The Drones are made for well light condition. But i don't know how the MM 2 is about.

Appart from a bout of shattered nerves the drone came out allright and ready for more - I am tempted to rename the drone from Tai to "The Dark Knight"
