No SUPs this morning.....


Sadly no sups out taking advantage of a nice calm day,   but the loonies who lauch their boat by dragging it with the car were back.



Taken with Mini 3 Pro.

I like how you fly your drone every day. .

I flew several batteries this morning and will probably fly one more later.  I may take the IR camera out instead for a bit,  but then I can mount one of those on the M2P.  Decisions Decisions.

Do you never fly your Mavic 2 Pro or your Mavic Mini 2? Maybe you can do a side-by-side comparison with them.

I quite often fly two drones at once especially for things like steam train shoots.    Or I mount another camera to the M2P,  nothing else I have can do the lifting like this.

Does it still fly with stability with the camera or is it unstable? When I tried that with my Mini 4 Pro it triggered Auto Emergency Landing because it was unstable.

No it flys perfectly,  you just have to hand land and launch and not cover the bottom sensors with the bracket otherwise it doesnt like to descend.

It was looking promising for today but the high is just 14c so Im probably getting ahead of myself there.

Uniformly grey here. I have zero motivation.

Is it a good day to look for the hide position of your new cache and get the coords?

You may be right - and it's only a 15 minute walk from here.

If it's grey it might also be a bit quieter for the muggles.

What's the label on the outside? Something you added or just part of the pot.

A lovely series today!

Ah I wasnt sure if that was the instructions you had put on there.   4 miles up hill done,  boy Im out of shape.   My cache was fine and Ive let the DNF reporter know.   I then found a new spot that would be a good location so I hid the spare and logged the location in preparation to submit a new listing.

A fruitful morning then.  Just after I sent the pic of the cache pot, it began to rain - again.
Grand-daughter's visit was a welcome interlude.

Ahh, the workhorse of your fleet.    Still one of the best drones DJI ever made.

Im getting a bit fed up with rain thats not forecast.


What happened to your wigwam thread?

Yes.  it's twitching to get out for a flight or two but Ive been too lazy to carry it.

thanks DT.   It's one of my favourite spots for colour in the morning at the moment.

Twigwam. It fizzled out on 3 April, but it's still there.

  Just put it in your backpack and that will not overburden you for your morning jaunts.

I dont really have a backpack at the moment for it,    I switched to waist hiking backs and they are great but not for the M2P it's just that little bit too big for them,   although I will have to sort something out for the Avata.

I'm thinking with the goggles the Avata 2 may be a bit too big for your current waist hiking bag.  Also, one more thing to keep charged up.

Yes I agree far too big,  Im thinking about other solutions that float my boat,   the DJI backpack looked good until I saw the price.

This backpack is awesome to carry everything you need but might be overkill for day trips out and about.

I bet there will be some nice bags very soon showing up on Aliexpress made especially for the Avata 2.

It’s too big.    I’m really into minimal.  I guess that why I’m really into these waist hiking bags at the moment.

I'm sure you'll find something that fits your needs.
