    Air 3 UK Drone Show Live meet up at Chatterley Whitfield derelict Colliery - AIR3 and AVATA

    Had a great tour, and have agreed to go back and fly the site in the autumn, when th foliage dies back, and to fly inside the buildings too... Going to be a busy day, but should be fun...

    Thank you kindly... We are off back there tomorrow for a tour, they are going to be showing the video in the visitor centre and hopefully we may be able to get some flying in a bit closer at some point too... fingers crossed...

    Air 3 UK Drone Show Live meet up at Chatterley Whitfield derelict Colliery - AIR3 and AVATA

    Thank you kindly... I'm using DaVinci Resolve - free version - its more than capable for what I need :) Thank you... Just had an email from the Heritage Centre asking for a copy of the footage to play in the Visitor Centre - run by volunteers and open once a month...

    Air 3 UK Drone Show Live meet up at Chatterley Whitfield derelict Colliery - AIR3 and AVATA

    A day out at the weekend to meet up with friends from the @DroneShowLive and 2 locations revisited for a flight, a return to a wet and windy Chatterley Whitfield Colliery and the stunning Mow Cop Castle - video to follow...

    Mini 3 Blairgowrie and the pretty River Ericht, Perthshire...

    Thank you... tbh I wasn't sure about this one, the flight was a short one and slightly rushed as rain was coming in...

    Thank you, I wasnt sure about the footage I managed to get of Blairgowrie as it was trying to rain and I was a bit rushed, but it worked well enough... Thank you...

    Mini 3 Blairgowrie and the pretty River Ericht, Perthshire...

    A quick flight over Blairgowrie at the beginning of our recent holiday, and a flight over the crystal clear river... Of course the bridge had to be flown underneath, no real challenge though :)

    Air 3 The stunning Reekie Linn Waterfall...

    Lol, I had VLOS at all times, honest guv'nor ;) Actually, I could see the drone backing toward the trees, but the line of sight makes judging the height difficult, hence checking by yawing first...

    Air 3 The stunning Reekie Linn Waterfall...

    Thank you, I tend to do a lot of research before visiting an area, using Google maps and Drone Scene, plus places I know from photography days, and also places friends suggest...

    Air 3 The stunning Reekie Linn Waterfall...

    Yup, the AIR3 is an amazing machine to fly, so fast and so nimble, but still best to make sure you don't run into anything...

    Air 3 The stunning Reekie Linn Waterfall...

    Yes, not sure of why the structure is there, but we did notice it... I usually set my height above the trees by setting gimbal to 0 degrees and yawing to check clearance... Then I also use the rear view camera in the AIR3, just to make sure I am not running into anything - even though it has...
