Seeing that there are no "dramatic" mountains such as the Alps and the Andes around here and I`m too unfit to climb those anyway I decided to have a "lower" approach to the mountain. I tried to go in too "high" for a person to be holding a camera and much "lower" than most drone videos.

Did I succeed?

BTW for those that are interested, it is near Pringle Bay, Western Cape Province, South Africa. 80km from Cape Town on the east coast of False Bay.

Thank you very much.

When you say that you are looking forward to the next one do you mean of the same "walking" among the rocks?  I have a few short clips that I`d like to incorporate into one video.

Thank you for your very positive comments.
I`m glad that you saw the progress in my flying skills because that is exactly what I`m trying to achieve, apart from the subject matter obviously.
Finding the right music is still an effort as there is so much variety and I`m glad that you make the specific comment about the music as it helps me a lot.

As with @B1houdini that is a great compliment as I was not using any "intelligent" modes just practicing to be in full control all the time.  Now developing (practicing) "sideways" flying to get a different perspective.

Thank you.  Quite a challenge to get what I wanted. One goes behind a rock formation and "poof" gone is the signal making it difficult to "see" the rock from the "other" side

Beautiful smooth footage Hendrik. I still battle to get anything close to this smoothness, while moving that gimbal around.

Practice, practice, practice and then practice again, and then just to make absolutely certain practice again

Hi Hendrik,

Nice to see SA.

Hi JJB,

Yes I did.  I see a lot of faces in the rocks around and it is quite spectacular.

I`m now actually looking at a possible destination that has completely different rock types (granite) than these ones` around here (sandstone).

Thank you for your comment.
