Been fighting the electronics and my own stupidity: At the first stop the fpv drone wasn't bound - had no internet reception to look up how o fix it. Flew the Mini 2 at least. At the second location, the reservoir, I didn't dare put the fpv drone in manual mode and was too afraid to fly beneath eh bridges. S mode is a bit jerky. At the third location I didn't take the time to nicely circle with the fpv and at the forth I forgot to turn recording back on after stopping it to be able to switch to manual camera controls. After that - without recording - I finally managed a few decent moves - shame on me and DJI's camera controls.
The locations at least were quite alright: a few cliffs near a former mill (nothing left of that), a reservoir near Neustadt, Harz, the ruined castle Ebersburg (built around 1200, abandoned around 1600, the keep is 19 m high and its walls up to 4,5 m thick) and finally outside the natural reserve near the "bell stones".

Very nice flight. Many different motives, nicely edited, beautiful nature. I see that you are enjoying yourself with a new toy. All the best.

Nice Job !

Nicely done.    Although you should have done a dive on the dam.

Lovely footage Depp.    Especially liked the view of the old Castle and the reservoir.  Have a great week.

Thanks a lot. Yes, it's very enjoyable, but also a bit scary :-)

You're right. Still not brave enough, also have to find a place to practice dives. But I might have been able to pull out of the dive right before the no-fly-zone-nature-reserve that begins a couple of meters behind the dam.

Thanks a lot, Downtown. Always great to shoot a castle.
Have a great one yourself!

I don’t blame you.  The thought of diving and crashing fills me with fear.

No problem
