Sunny days on the Isle of Skye are something unusual, especially in October, so having good weather means taking full advantage of it - so in one day we flew Portree, Quirang, Old Man of Storr, Lealt and Mealt Falls, some with the AIR3 and some - closer to people like this one with the MINI3 Pro!

Somewhat difficult lighting conditions with the shade over the falls, but with a little knowledge and the amazing camera of the MINI3 Pro we prevailed and captured something of interest... I hope the 2 German guys who were flying before us got something as good if not better

Lovely work.  Your choice of tilting the camera when you did was perfect.

Thanks, still not 100% happy with my gimbal control as yet, need more practice methinks

Love that place!

Yes, and yet 5 years ago there was nothing there...

What an amazing location.  Beautifully flown, filmed and edited.  

Great flight up the gorge to reach the Falls.  Splendid takes over the cascades.

Whaddaya mean? Did they re-route the creek or do you mean that look out bridge thing?

No bridge / lookout and no car parking 5 years ago, it was a hidden gem that no-one knew about... Now its on the tourist roiute and very busy...

You needn't have worried

Thank you

My pleasure.  Sad thing is every time I watch one of your videos I get the travel bug to get back over to see parts of Scotland again.  Unless things have changed I remember March - May was usually the driest season albeit it still a bit cool in March.

We could always use more practice.

Lots of food, a bit to drink, a warm house, some nice gifts and a lot of relaxing.. Looking forwards to making a Turkey Curry and a Turkey Broth tomorrow, and then off out drone flying with friends on Friday - hoping to get into the leather workshop for a few hrs tomorrow to work on a couple of projects...

Hope your festive period has been a good one?

2 days of a lot of happiness.

Nice job. Great scenery with difficult lighting.

My travel plans for this upcoming summer have changed a bit as I'll be headed to several small islands (Palau, Fiji, Bora Bora) in the Pacific.  Summer 2025 I'm looking at the UK and Iceland.

Niiice, plenty of footage from the Pacific would be a good result, if the opportunity arises

I've been there many years ago while in the Navy but this time I'd like to spend more time on the islands as a tourist and just enjoy the tropical views.  Has always been a dream vacation of mine.
