A view over the castle,  taken on a glorius day and unusually not many people were in attendance.  Dring the lockdowns this place was previously mobed.


Taken with the Mavic 2 Pro.

Great shot DA!    Seems a bit odd that it would be mobbed during lockdown and minimal visitors now.  Oh well, things were definitely different during the peak of the pandemic and lockdowns.  

I wish we could get this pandemic behind us but with the recent surges and the latest variant it's not looking too good.

I suspect now the bars are open they’d rather be in one.

Great shot of a great place. Love the birds.

You may be absolutely right.  

Nice shot. Great colors

More of an unlucky 13.  

Super photo, great colour, birds too. Did they leave your bird alone?

thanks Chris,   I kept plenty of distance from them.   Its the gulls that usually cause me problems round here.

Great shot. These birds add a nice dimension!

thanks Peter,   that was a flight with the M2P and Id forgotten how nice it is to fly.

Yeah, I missed my MP too this holiday.
M2 does a great job, but I have hit its limitations more than once (and failed to get shots because of it)
Also the battery life is really optimistic.
In reality I never got more than 15 minutes, which is quite a bummer when comparing it to the MP.

I’ve had a similar experience with the m2p and putting new props on made a huge difference.  I think they slightly deform if time and become less efficient.

Oh that is a good tip.
I have to say it was mainly in windy situations (but hey, there is wind quite often in NL and SE).
But it really lacks power and speed when trying to catch a train.

thats what I was finding until I swapped out the props,   worth a try if you still have the spare props it came with.

Yeah, I have some spare props.
But it does make me wonder how quickly they degrade. Since I have not made a lot of flights with them.

About 30 flights I counted.

I had around 25 flights on the props I think.

We’re not so far apart and the mini props are more delicate I would say.

Wow, that is quite sad if they deteriorate this fast.

Seems like it. Or the M2 is more sensitive to these changes. Either way, as long as it still works for slow flights, I won't change them.
I'm not gonna sponsor DJI even more
