Day two with my toy and getting a little more brave with where I am flying it.
The plan was film more of Punta de n'Amer castle, known as Es Castellet, but there were a couple of families exploring and chilling out around the structure so I thought it would be a bit rude to test out some of the features of the drone today so close to them.
The castle is a pretty tiny fortified defence tower located on the coastline in the Sant Llorenç des Cardassar area and is at an altitude of 35 metres - about as high as it gets around this part of the coast.
It was built at the end of the 17th Century to counter pirate attacks and restored at the end of the 20th Century.
Although my flight map app said it was ok to fly around here, the area is a natural area of special interest and is protected. Anyway, I didn't catch much of it today, need to get closer next time.
I probably filmed about 10 minutes of footage today, but noticed that jerky and spinny movements generally look a bit crap. Most was cut, and even what's left could be much better with a skilled pilot and better camera work.
Anyway, it is lots of fun and the drone arrived home safely after it's second mission :)
