Pocket 3 captures the flood defences.  

It was a little dark but the OP3 did a good job this morning,   this is usually a little stream just 1 ft across.

Nice reflections in the water.  Flood defences holding?  It's been catastrophic around Nottingham an the Trent.

Ive been out briefly to the supermarket and there were a few flooded roads,  one was bad enough I turned around and took a different route,  lots of new pot holes.    The boat yard that youve seen boats being craned in from was flooded and they had two beefy pumps at work,    the hoses made the fire services ones look like toys.

Possibly on the scale of the ones at Toddbrook dam.

Probably not quite that large,   I see up the road the river Chelmer burst its banks and a van got washed away trying to drive through a ford.    Hope it calms down as we have to go that way tomorrow.

No rain here today, and the ten-day forecast is favourable.

Ive not checked here today,   not sure I dare at the moment.   So you managed to drop the car off without getting soaked?

Yes. They replace the coil springs as a pair, apparently, rather than just the one.

Wow, that's no longer a stream but a mini river.  That shot leaves no doubt as to the amount of rain you've had.  

Good thing the boat yard had powerful pumps to get rid of all the water at their location.  

Still some distance to the top.

Looks fairly wide now.

Yes. thats normal practice,  dont feel ripped off by it.

I had to have a stiff drink and a lie down after i'd picked it up and got home, though.
That's half the cost of a Mini4Pro up the Swannee spent on the car this last week alone.

I was surprised to hear about the boatyard.   It's quite high up compared to the river but I heard they blame the flood defences for it.

Yep.  The part itself is usually fairly cheap,  it's the labour to fit them thats the problem.

Ain't it always so

Are the flood defenses inadequate or are they causing the water to build up near the boatyard?

The boat yard is blaming the flood defence for the issue,     they have a couple of small creeks that surround the main boatyard building which is where the water floods from so I hear.

Nice one. Not too bad image quality at this resolution.

The new 1" sensor seems to perform quite well.

Yup.
Still saving for the FMC, but P3 is next on the list for sure.

Im quite enjoying mine,  even for photography.

So it seems.
I'm quite confident my next DJI camera is a P3

I bet they start releasing them every year so it could be a P4.

If it gets popular, yes
Which would be nice.
