The forth bridges are iconic Scottish landmarks, I've been wanting to film here for ages. This is a mixture of P4 Pro and Mavic Pro footage shot on the same day.
I had several occurances of signal loss here, even with the P4 Pro in line of sight, my friend had the same issue here with his P4 standard. The Mavic Pro had no problems whatsoever, very strange.

Nice work. Those are some amazing looking bridges.

Very nice ...good work

i didn't realise just how close the bridges are to each other ?

Yes they are quite close but not in drone flying terms, that'll all change when the middle bridge disappears.

Nice video, I once flew over those bridges on my way into the airport, was a bit higher up though, and there were only two then

I'm curious, the bridges are less than 5Km from an international airport and you where flying at 500m altitude.  Presumably you had to contact the airport tower for permission?

Cheers ALABAMA.

That was fun, looks like you are enjoying yourself as well. ;-)

Your next mission, if you choose to accept it, would be a spectacular flight below those magnificent structures.  Grin


Ok, fly safe...

It's a tight squeeze under there, better do it at low tide, at night:

Awesome scenery! Thanks for sharing with us!

Awesome pic.

Did you have problems with signal loss flying here?

Beautiful!!
So they are dismantleing the bridge in the middle? What was wrong with it?

It's old and beyond repair, still used by buses I believe, but the new road bridge is fully up and running now so it's curtains for the old one.
