A lovely sunny morning.  An ideal opportunity for drone flying?  Let's check. Hmm. Probably not.

OK,   you win the wind test today.   Its not that bad here.

It was THE CLASHing of the branches that put me off, and suggested the title for the post

Did the earworm find it's way in?

Me neither, but that's one that somehow stuck.

Just loading the car up in lidl carpark and a mini2 went shooting over head.  I dont think anyone noticed,   no sign of the pilot.

That happened to me on Anglesey in March, you may recall?  In a NFZ as well.
I commented on it at the time. Looked like a Mavic Pro.

Im sure theres more to see in Anglesey compared to lidl.  

Refreshing footage. Have a wonderful day. Thanks for sharing

That is beyond dispute

Just a little anecdote, DJI Paladin, for its amusement value.  No way to get the drones in the air in those conditions, so the Pocket2 was handy to document the circumstances

Nice.  The way the trees are swaying I'd say it was a No Fly day.  Shame as it did seem to be a sunny day.

Yes. Just my luck

Weather remains a bit different here also this year.  We're seeing a lot more afternoon rain showers than usual for this time of year here on the East Coast.  On the West Coast they are in drought status.  Everything gets dry but then they will get a down pour and the powdery surface dirt turns loose and causes mudslides, etc.

We don't get quite the extremes of weather you get over there.
And I did see a news item about the looming drought crisis over in the western USA.

I would say go for it however I know your next post would be entitled “gone with the wind.”

And in that scenario, I can hear the response:
"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn"

Indeed it is.

DAFlys said the same thing yesterday.  Still windy again this morning.

Seems weather is a bit different all over the world when compared to recent years.  Some scientists are stressing over all the climate changes but appears many governments are not moving on their findings quickly enough for them.

Global warming is an incontrovertible fact that is plain to most folk. Some politicians excepted of course.

Perfect choice, by the way, Mr B. Happy filming always!

It was!  Fortunately, the weather has calmed and it was even sunny for yesterday's outing and flight.

Yeah, it's lovely today! (at least here)

Did you buy her a Mini3  ??

Far from it.

Surely not the optimal setting for a drone flight. Luckily, the Pocket 2 won't fly away that easily with the wind.

A sandbag hung from the tripod might keep the P2 stable in those conditions

I'm pretty sure at least that will help, if nothing else does. :-)

Nail it to the floor

I'd imagine having a nail through the Pocket 2 wouldn't be so healthy for it
