A break-of-day flight on a beautiful Autumn morning with the Mini3Pro gave the chance to surf the edge of the drifting mist from the valley, sun rising directly behind the drone creating little circular 'rainbows' of Heiligenschein in the bits of mist the drone passed through.

Q: Did condensation appear on your drone?

Q: Did condensation appear on your drone?

Hi.  No. It was with that in mind that I tried this out.  No lens fogging during flight.
When I landed the drone and inspected the lens it was still clear, but misted over when I put it in the warm car. This soon cleared when the temperature equalised.

Lovely atmosphere

nice - although it would be even nicer with some background music coming with the video.

Very nice one Roger!
Love those clouds!

I doubled the frame rate to shorten the video clip.

It was one of those perfect mornings, Depp. No wind at ground level.

How about:
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers   "Learning to Fly"

Learning to fly, around the Clouds
What goes up, must come down

that would be a good one, although you might have some copyright issues with it, I guess

Exactly so
So in this case  " Silence is Golden"  by the Tremeloes

Silence is Golden, but my eyes still see"

Very calm and soothing early morning flight Mr. B.    Just enough mist to make for an interesting flight.

I do love flying through mist and clouds like this.  .

Nice to see you make a trip back into the video archives during the times when music was real music.  

Blériot53 Posted at 10-10 22:55

Sometimes that works nicely!

It was reassuring that the lens didn't fog up.

Much of today's Popular Music "culture" is just noise and crap, unimaginative lyrics.

I tried treble first but that didn't look right.

I reversed course and flew back through the mist again but the sun was in the lens and it wasn't so effective.

Too fast ?

Yes, the clouds looked more like a kettle boiling than mist rolling gently

Check.
I have to make a lot of music for my footage, so I should start with that soon.

Well at least the lens didn't fog up so that was a positive.

Yes,  but better to find out now when you still have warranty.

I may be claiming on the warranty soon.
