The Rappbode reservoir in the Harz Mountains, Germany, has two additional reservoirs upstream: of the Rappbode itself and of the river Hassel. Join me in the cinematic attempt of showing these places with the Osmo Pocket and three drones (DJI FPV drone, GepRC Cinelog 25 HD and DJI Mini 2).

Whoah! Congrats that's some journey! The water scene at the base of the dam....how long did it take to become so smooth with the fpv drone?  Well done, that really is a journey.

My definition of EPIC! Very well done! You have put together a really interesting video with sound effects and music and gripping visuals.
Thanks for showing.

Thank you, Chris! I'm glad you like it. I think I'm still far from smooth but it's slowly getting better. I always have to fight my fears. Used the good natured Mini 2 to fly through the dam...

Thanks a lot, mate! Happy you like it. It was a great trip and I loved editing it.

Nice flying Depp,  do you duck when you fly under stuff like that?

Wow, spectacular footage!    Very smooth flying.  Beautiful views throughout but really enjoyed the shots around the dam.

I wondered whether you had flown thru the narrow gaps or if it was some post -processing trickery!  You are certainly putting the fpv to great use!

Great footage ! Great Flying

On the sim I duck a lot. Here I positioned the Mini and just fly (and prayed)...

lol.   I ducked just watching it.    You do like to fly near aggressive looking trees too.

I like going through trees but the gaps are still pretty wide and I still fight my fears with the fear winning most of the time. I wanted to go through the dam with the fpv but didn't dare to...

Your very welcome

The DJI FPV really is a go-anywhere drone isn't it

Looks great man!
Actually, the area itself also looks very nice!

Yes, it's a great thing, but in this case only 1/3 of the story ;-)

Hi there Depp. You are very much welcome and it is always my pleasure to see your work. Have a safe and a happy flying always. .

------->   HELP  <-------
  Hi Guys!  Good morning!

I always fly over the bay waters.
The only area that is clear of tall buildings.

  Is there a way to set a low terrain alarm on the Mavic air 2 or any other Mavic drone?

I get very distracted and lost altitude moving the left joystick, not trying to lower the altitude but rotating.

  A "LOW ALTITUDE WARNING" would be life-saving.

  The idea is to increase altitude if I get below 5 or 10 meters without realizing I did.  To prevent getting submerged in the water.  I already lost the Mavic mini on the Bay. I know where it is, but I can't retrieve it.  I can't believe there are so many warnings except a low-altitude one.

All man-driven Airplanes have several LOW TERRAIN WARNINGS.

Could anybody please please;  contact DJI engineers and bring the idea?  It will bring more safety to the drones and would be a very substantial improvement.

   Sincerely,   Lesmex F.

You love play !  ;-)

On the FPV drone there is a sort of low warning.
They'd have to do it with sensors though and that is less high than 5 or 10 m I'd guess. Not sure how well that would work over water as the reflections seem to get the sensors confused.
GPS wouldn't help because that's showing your height relative to your starting point.

Hi!
Where is the FPV? I am expecting my Mavic air 2 this Friday, still learning.

Thank you.

What do you mean? Where in my footage I used the FPV drone?
Have fun with your Air 2!
