Great view!  Particularly with the mountains in the background.   That's a lot of drinking water

PS When you add the link to the sphere click the camera icon on the tool bar,  and pop the url in there.   It should then wrap it in media tags and then embed really quickly.

Thanks Bleriot. Would you believe that last year, before the rain, there was almost no water in that dam.
We had water usage restictions - a few liters per person per day.

I was actually having a BAD electronics day (Like in bad hair day).
First my mini2 would not give video feed when I wanted to fly, then my mouse declined to work citing union rules, and my internet (wifi) was exceptoionallllllly slllllloooowwww. Which is why it was such a struggle to get the image shown.

I’ve just made this mount to get my IR full spectrum camera in the air.   It’s running custom software called chdk which allows me to run scripts on the camera so I can automate picture taking.

Nice Idea - I am not THAT commited.

But why is your Mav looking so sad? not enough fly time perchance?

Probably because the new EU rules mean he gets less use and he’s realised how much weight the other camera will be.
