Flying from one end of a pond to the other, I found it very difficult to determine when my drone was getting too close to the trees standing above the other side of the pond. From my vantge point it looked like the drone was going to hit the trees at any second, but when I looked in FPV on my Iphone it wasn't even close. Any tips, besides trusting FPV or the Map, for determining when you're getting too close to something? Maybe an obvious answer but wanted to hear your thoughts.

Yeah, me too, I start to lose depth of field around 50 meters out and need to refer to the FPV and start inching forward towards the treeline before I lost my nerves and do an 180.
