Like in my previous post, I tried to get a shot of the Flying Scotsman steam train coming through Somerset

I wish the shot had been smoother, but as there was another drone user nearby with their Phantom, I was trying to keep an eye on my drone, the video, and their drone too, which I think caused the sudden fast pan, a shame really but never mind.

For some reason the DJI Fly App also activated a 20 meter height restriction during the most important moment, despite no restriction being in place, another distraction - sods law

Still, it is fun to try and capture shots like this, and I've very lucky to live close by the line.

Very nice capture of the Flying Scotsman.    Quite the remarkable steam train.  You are very fortunate to live close by the line.

You let it get away.

Great to capture that. It was really moving.  @Montfrooij will love it.

Great video!

I have missed it so far.
But I'll check it out.

I won't.
I'm not flying often enough.
It's not high on the ladder for me

Not every challenge will involve a drone - the Pocket 2 may come in handy as well

Man, thats lucky and great video, its a shame you have to pay to subscribe to the timetable...

I never take that with me, unless I want to film something with it.
And never for stills. I don't like the output of the stills enough.
If I want stills, I use my DSLR or my iPhone (if I don't care about the quality).
P2 has no added value in my case for stills, just for video or motion timelapses.
(which I'm perfectly fine with, that is why I bought it)

And TBH, my priorities are elsewhere.
I like to do everything, but that does not work.

Best to concentrate on your priorities

Yeah, I have to.
Otherwise nothing gets done

So I will stick to capturing interesting things 'at my time' until there is a significant and sustaining gap in my schedule
