Another episode of see if Asher can avoid crashing his new toy - this time we are located at the beach in Cala Millor.
Getting a little braver with flying the drone now, at least it feels that way when flying over water. I think am under the illusion that if over land, there is a chance I could recover a crash landing, but I don't think there is that much hope from a few hundred feet. A submerged drone though is definitely a goner, and I'm not done playing just yet!
At present, the beach at Cala Millor has a lot of Posidonia oceanica (the dark patches) which is cleared and used for agriculutural purposes. The presence of Posidonia oceanica is both sign that the waters are clean, and that these underwater meadows are shrinking in size.
Also, the sand is yet to be spread out across the coral, as is done to accommodate the tourists when the summer season arrives. It has looked worse though, like when storm Gloria arrived like last year.
I found a new button on the drone yesterday and can now move the camera - handy. I'm trying to avoid sudden movements but did leave a bit of that in this video. It is probably time to YouTube some tips on shooting, and to learn more about some of the autopilot options. I've not yet pressed the 'return to home' button, and should see just how close the drone gets to home to see if at some point I could go stand on the pier, or maybe on Rafa Nadal's boat :)
Also, it seems there are a couple of drone communities, and I've recently joined this one: created/hive-150994
Have a good weekend all!
