Now THAT's a cave! I'm surprised the Mavic did as well as it did, but I guess there was enough ambient light for the Optics's Mode to do its thing?

Assuming it switched from GPS to Opti mode (and back), how was the flight?  Did you notice as it switched modes or was it unnoticeable?  Was that with goggles?  Very cool!

I fly with VAS OFF ;). Because it easily fooled by the sun. I started in the middle of the cave without GPS coverage, flu to the entrance and start filming - without GPS wind is a problem, but yesterday the weather was very calm, I was lucky. Always tried to keep visual, especially exiting thru "angels eyes" on the selling - was very afraid of power line going above them   But at the end, I was thrilled
Thank You for watching.

Wow, very impressive cave, and great video too! I'm surprised that the propellers didn't show when the camera tilted up to look at the ceiling.

Wonderful video, just out of interest, where were you in relation to the AC ?

Were you inside the cave, outside the cave at the opening or up high on the top ?

Yes, only in the hole it took GPS position and marked it as Home ;) And when left the cave at the end it was in GPS.

I went in the middle of the cave, start the flight from hand (flour is dusty) and flu to the entrance, then start filming and going in, maintaining LOS to counter wind drifts (with no GPS position)  and visually navigate thru whole. I did not see the Mavic only when it was outside and entering the cave from other hole!  That was the scariest moment as above the holes are power lines   and there was a small possibility to lose connection or hit the wall.
But I've got lucky

Very nice work. Kudos!  I have always been reluctant to fly the Mavic in areas like this since GPS will likely drop in and out during the flight.

Very nice video, watched the whole thing.  Nice smooth flying especially the turning pans.  Surprised you could fly up the hole and aground a bit and not loose radio signal.  This would be a great place to take spherical panorama shots.

Spherical panorama was not available at this time
I was really nervous and afraid to lose my Mavic, but got lucky

Alex, It Really takes a lot of guts to take a video in a cave. Glad to see it went well and you had no problems.
Have you ever lost controller connection while flying? My Mavic now and again does . Only once it did a RTH.
I was thinking if you would of loss connection and it did a RTH . Would it have shot to max altitude? In this case the ceiling of the cave,

Any how glad it didn't and you made another great video.

My whole life I was balancing between been the responsible grownup and crazy nuts - I am 51 next month to be 52 and alive - so Obviously I balanced well, but seen a lot, tried many things... steal balancing
