This is about as much as I could get out of the video due to the gimbal problem I had with the horizon turnig 45 degrees.

A short 4K video of Riu Touareg hotel on the island Boa Vista in Cape Verde.
It was a bit windy early morning. This is a giant hotel with 1300 rooms on an area of almost a square Km. It is so big that you almost get lost in the area.Video from November 2022. All music by Smart sound.

I head they only have one repair center (official) around in west EU and that is right next to where I live (sort of at least).
Well, I would love to drive it back to you, but that would get expensive soon

That's nice to hear. Perhaps you can fly it back when it is ready?

Thank you very much for your comment DAFlys. It would have been better if there was not so windy, even if I was up with the sun about 06:30. After 08:00 it was impossible to fly. Wind gusts caught the drone now and again, so I have to cut out a lot.

It must have been gusty to effect the Mavic 2,  mines a beast in the wind usually.

Yes, the Mavic 2 pro is pretty good against wind. We had about 25 to 30mph or 10-15m/s with some stronger gusts that started after 08:00 and during the day. If I held the drone steady and hovering, I could see on the screen sudden movements when gusts came which it could not hold up to. They suggested to film in the early morning at sunrise. When lying on the beach you could fell that sand hitting you some times. Cape Verde is known for its winds certain months, as it is completely open and flat with desert land scape on the whole island. No trees, no nothing in the middle, just sand.
