Not only did I fly it over water, I used it to carry out a fishing line so I could cast MUCH farther ...

This pretty cool. How did you get the line to drop from the drone?

I had owned my Phantom Pro for 2 weeks and I decided to venture out over water.... it was early morning on Lake houston. All was going really well until I heard the beep, beep, beep from the controller and my Phantom was about 500 feet out over the lake and at bout 300 feet elevation. Fortunately the auto return feature took control and it landed safe and sound on terra firma. https://youtu.be/PyW743cpsKo

Rodger,

Nope, that was in MN. We have a place in MN and our home is in SD.

Thanks, the area is similar to New England.

I am nervous when flying over water, only because if a malfunction occurs I may not be able to salvage my bird from the water.  That fear is gone now that I have a device that marks the spot where my phantom is located if it takes a dive.

Cool gadget I made myself, soon to be available for purchase.

P3 Video Over Water

Hi folks, I'm fairly new to this. Ordered my P3 the day it was announced and received it about a month later ... lot's of hours, three crashes, learning Premiere and tons of editing and I have about a dozen videos worth watching. About half of those are over water and this one, IMHO, is the best. Taken over a Northeast Pennsylvania trout stream after two days of heavy rains. There are a few artifacts in there; camera flicker during exposure change and white balance. I try to do everything manually now. This video captures the more dramatic and awe-inspiring side of nature. Early attempts at these falls were done at a faster, and less effective, shutter speed. On this one I followed the 2:1 rule (Shutter=120th, 60fps) and the water looks like a frosty pint of Guinness! Any feedback appreciated.
