Shot this video last weekend with my DJI Phantom 4 Pro while visiting my Dad's house near Thomson, IL on the Mississippi River. Drone camera recorded at 4K HD resolution. Course speed was 20 mph and altitude was set to 400 Ft. Set up my longest flight course yet, nearly 4 miles, using the Litchi app. His house has an elevated deck so I had great line of sight during the whole flight and the controller to drone signal stayed strong throughout. This was also my first distance flight over water so I was very nervous about it. All video editing was done in Cyberlink PowerDirector 15. The music bed was provided free from YouTube (The_Big_Beat_80s.mp3 - Kevin MacLeod, Syrinx Starr).
The white dots moving close to the water are birds. Quite a few can be seen along the route.

Very nice Steve. Looks like a few people were enjoying the sandbar! Love the islands and surrounding areas. Yeah, you were quite a ways north of where I am. That is pretty country up in those parts.
Thanks for sharing!
