Great shot, David! Thanks for sharing this with us.

No, I don't think so.

Impressive shot DA.    The younger lad on the right may have spotted the drone but the older gent on the left was showing no interest whatsoever.  

Cool shot DA.

I don't think they were. Nice shot.  Did you get spotted eventually?  

Cool shot !

Hopefully not Mr B,  I nearly crashed into their sail.

Is that a second near-miss, or is it the one we discussed the other day?

That was the other day,  Im being more careful with sports mode.

Apart from trying out Sport mode on acquisition of a drone, I never use it for daily flights.

DAFlys Posted at 5-29 23:28
thanks Drone Junkie RC.

No problem

Not the worst place to crash - you might have landed in the craft...

DAFlys Posted at 5-29 22:59

I agree, stealth is the best way.

Ive been using it to battle against the wind mostly,   just need to remember to turn it off when ive caught up with the boats.

Otherwise you'd be jigging in the rigging

The embarrassment would have been terrible.

The new mini3 makes that easier too with the change in noise.

Mini2 was smallest enough to pass straight through the rigging.   I know that from experience.

A veritable obstacle course

I was just hovering, and the boat passed through me,   it was a lucky day.

I remember you recounting the tale. A lucky escape

By the way - would the controller of your Mini Two link to the Mini Three?

Blériot53 Posted at 5-31 00:37

Yes it does,  I did a few test flights back to back to see if the range was any different between them.

Oh yea,   I forgot I had mentioned it.      Lets just say Im being a bit more careful with the Mini3.  

Nice capture!

Thanks for the input. Monty and I were just discussing it.

One thing I noticed was the video feed was smoother on the new controller over the original N1 controller.   But that was only a couple of flights on one day so more data probably needed to make a judgment on that.

Did you get the Mini3 with the dedicated DJI RC Combo integrated screen, or the RCN1 for Smartphone?

I got the one with the screen.  It’s only a little extra for it.

If you hover over the icon under the avatar it tells you which version of the mini3 they have.

But it's not available for another month and I'm getting impatient

Yes I should have remembered to do that - I've done it often enough in the past.

I've seen several comments about Mini3P being much quieter than the Mini 2, which is a good thing.
