Hi there,

So I recently purchased a Mini 3 Pro and started doing some random stuff to find out what I like to film with it. And most of al get the hang of flying it and filming nice footage.
A couple of weeks a go there was a small Air Balloon Festival in Grave (NL) which we went to and I thought that is was a great opportunity to fly, film and share with you.



If you have any suggestions or tips, do share!

Nice views. Thanks for sharing.

Really nice views and love all the different shapes and colors of the balloons.    Looks like there were plenty of spectators present.  

Very eye-catching content

Absolutely fantastic.

Yeah did not expect that at all. It was also my first time at the festival.

There was quiet a lot going on, aswel on the ground as up in the sky. Paragliders and balloons all around.

I only could film from one side above the treelines away from the spectators just to be sure.

You're very welcome.  Keep up the great work and I hope you have a wonderful week.  

Very cool - thanks for sharing

Been to a couple of balloon festivals both were really exciting days out - great video

Nice vid.
My tip would be to stay away from crowds like this.
Even though you were technically not flying 'over' them for the most part, if your drone decides to fly away, you will end up in a bad situation quickly.

Yeah you are completly right about that. But sometimes you gotta find those edges right.
Always aware of and check surroundings. 95% was 'save', some shots are more risky.

Yeah, I do find the edge too sometimes. Distance to railroads, industries or natura2000 for example.
I get too close to those sometimes.
But groups of people is a no go for me. That is plain safety, which is a line for me.
