So it seems he had to get down to make it under the bridge?!?!?!

Yes. At high tide there is usually on a couple of feet of clearance under that bridge.

Bit harsh I feel.

Oh my......... I don't know if I'd feel comfortable with that.  I'd probably get stuck.

Sorry, bad joke.

'failed miserably'
Not even funny.

It might not have been that high.  But certainly less than 5 feet.

Lol.    Calm down.

Breathe in......

And out……..

Worth preserving. Does this second one appear to show him ducking to pass under the bridge?  Or is there plenty of headroom?

DAFlys Posted at 12-9 12:26
And out……..

That is usually the best way

My friends saw whales in the ocean.  I would of loved to capture that via drone.

Cetacean lives in Hawai'i. We don't see him much on the forum these days.

Yes, that would be very cool,   until a do gooder complains you're scaring them.

Theres only a couple of feet clearance at high tide,  Ive seen canoes wait there for the tide to drop to let them out.

Wow, he must have limbo'd under the arch then

Montfrooij Posted at 12-9 12:39

Three quick ins and one out is also workable.

Im not too sure how high the tide was when I snapped that so he might have had a bit more room.

He looks as though he's kneeling down in that second shot.

I would have had some more shots but I was having a slight issue,   at the time I was limited to 2 mph so I was struggling to keep up,   Im the next flight the fly app popped up the tutorial and when I dismissed that normal speed was restored.

Oh yes, I have tried several techniques.
But in - out seems to be the most natural.

I like the shots DA.    Gives good perspective on how low the bridge is above the water in shot #2.   I don't think they fit the "failed shots" category at all.

I know,  I landed and left politely,  not worth getting into with a screamer.

My pleasure DA.    Hope that you have a great weekend.
