Taken with Mini 3 Pro.

Do you ever go fast with your Mini 3 Pro? With my Mini 4 Pro I went 35mph. Apparently the Avata 2 will be 60.4mph. DJI FPV is 87mph.

Ive been 35 with the Mini and 44 with the M2P.   With the Mini 3/4 though if its windy they cant maintain that power unlike the M2P which can.

Oh. The M2P and P4 are similar, because I want 46mph with my P4.

Yeah the phantoms were a beast for speed.

I liked the Phantoms. I don't know why DJI stopped them.

well according to Airdata my old P3P did 81.01 k/mh  .  Must have been downhill with a tail wind. No wonder it crashed!

Thats only 50mph so theres a chance that was a tail wind.  My Go4 top speed shows 46.1mph which is also over spec and I can imagine a P3P being more like a sail to the wind.

I think sales of the folding drones massively over took them,  Can you imagine hiking up a mountain with P4P vs a Mavic 3.

Nice Shot.

thank you Charles.  

Wow…what a great mixture of colour and moods. You can be depressed and motivated at the same time. Great shot

I recall their ad campaign featured a backpack that fitted the Phantom.

Yes,  you are spot on with that.     I wonder why they dont sell the phantoms anymore.  

I’ll bet that boat has a story to tell.

Not too bad

Great shot with a variety of colors.     That boat deserves to be set free.  

Maybe it needs some wheels - nice sky

You can imagine it almost straining at the leash

Usually those lines are quite taught.

The pull of the tides

The pull of the tides

Yes and the tides have been high the last couple of days.

The effects of the eclipse.

Blériot53 Posted at 4-9 23:32
The effects of the eclipse.

The BBC also blamed heavy rain,  but weve only seen light rain here.     I may take a walk down the hill for high tide and see what it's like today.

The rivers are up again, and the water is roaring over the wier.

Yes,  it would be nice to catch it being used for a change.

cheers Codgerzh2.

You must have had all the rain then.

I remember the leg of my Phantom 2 hit a pole and cracked. If it was a folding leg, it would have folded in and absorbed the impact, but no. It was non-folding.

DAFlys Posted at 4-9 23:52

We got more than our share, I reckon.

It does feel like it,   but Ive now applied a feed and weed to the lawn and put down grass seed at the MIL;'s so we wont have any good rain for ages now.

Ironic, isn't it.

I guess only time will tell.  Could be the owner is a fair weather sailor only.

That would explain why it never goes out.

I'm just the opposite as I'll pretty much brave the weather to take my small boat or jet ski out.  I figure if you own it why not use it regularly.  There is a lot of upkeep in boats so if he isn't going to use it he might as well sale it.  Just my thoughts.

I heard he was a cheap skate which is why the boat is there,  it's the cheapest mooring for him.  So perhaps he's cheap on diesel too.

Well then he does deserve the moniker of cheapskate.

Oddly another boat has turned up on the mud flats up river and under two bridges from the usual spot,  looks like its under anchor.
