Three weeks later the flood is gone and snow has come.  Drones: DJI Mini 3 Pro, Rekon 7 build (GoPro 10), Plywood Explorer O3  Emotional Cinematic Corporate Piano | Freedom by Alex-Productions | Music promoted by http://onsound.eu/

Amazing winter footage.    Editing in the split screen was a bonus.  That was some incredible piano music you selected.  Just a fantastic job on this video Depp.  

Looks good. I like the comparison.

Thanks a lot, Downtown. Yeah, I had fun with that one (and a very quick turn over for me (I still have 9 vids in the pipeline but I wanted to get this one out the same day to see the comparison).

Thanks, BBT. Unfortunately I didn't take the time to memorize my flight paths so I didn't fly the exact same lines both times. But a few matched up well enough...

I really enjoy that video. Really well done, beautiful.

It's close enough. I guess the Avata doesn't have waypoints.

Love the before / after split screen shots Depp.

No, it doesn't. But I wasn't flying the Avata anyway... Sold it after the flood.

Thanks, David. Wasn't easy to find sort of fitting takes as of course I didn't make a note of the route I was flying...

Sorry to hear that. Are you replacing it with something else?

It's my pleasure Depp.  Good to know you have more videos pending.  I'll keep an eye out for them.

I bought it pretty much a year ago and didn't fly it much - didn't like the quality as much, above 250g and DJI's safeguards sometimes make it very unsafe, as you can see in this video:
I have two cinewhoops below 250g that carry naked GoPros, two 5" of which I really fly one, one 4" below 250g using an O3 as the camera, one 7" self build and a Mini 3 Pro. I tried cutting back during the Xmas season and sold 4 drones...
Here's the video that sort of made me want to retire it:

Sorry to hear that you had such problems with it. I thought it would be a good intro to FPV ,but a few people didn't recommend it. Now I see why.

It generally works well and is a rather easy way into fpv (for me that was the DJI fpv drone in March 21) but since then I became better and now I don't want this kind of drone. I got it for less than 1100 as a used combo (from a dealer) with the Goggles 2 (which are/were 850 in itself) so it was an okay choice and I don't regret it.

I thought it might be good for indoor real estate shoots. Flying through from indoor to outdoor.

It is certainly used for that. If you thought about getting into fpv and might even make something out of it professionally it's not a bad place to start. Just not for me anymore and with a few strings attached.

I shoot real estate for a living. For indoor I use mavic mini 2 with prop protectors. Outside an Air 2S and 2 Pro. I used to fly RC airplanes for years. The only thing that throws me off if the goggles.

It does need some getting used to but then it's much better.

Well it took a while Depp but I'd say you are correct, winter is imminent.
I suspect in a couple of weeks you'll be in the thick of things and able to give us some more footage.

A nice bit of winter exuberance, Seb

Unfortunately you suspect wrong: Today it hit 10C so all the snow is melting (maybe creating a new flood?). Maybe in the nearby low mountain range (up to 1100 m) the snow will prevail longer...

Thank you, R! Happily not too exuberant... Though I crashed my Mini into the car (completely unnecessary) and have already Care Refreshed it...

Thank goodness for Care Refresh.

Thanks it's on the list.

Yes. I guess nothing much happened but as I had trouble with shakiness in the image I thought I might draw the Refresh card...

Very cool to see!

You're welcome.
It's all gone now right?

I'd guess so. I don't come there often but there are still places of overflown fields.

Snow's gone, water mostly was well.

Nice flight over snowy fields
