    I cannot thank you enough!! Through studying genealogy over the years, I've found this is where my family was baptized before later moving to Ireland and to the States. This isn't the same building but seeing the same landscape my family saw a couple/three hundred years ago, is amazing!! As the "family historian" of our Stephenson (Stevenson, Steenson, Stinson) family reunion, I'll be showing this at our next get-together in September 2022. So from Lawrence County, Alabama where many Stephensons still reside 200 years after moving here, thank you!! This is amazing!!! 💕

    I was up there today. Bit windy. If you reduce the yaw response curve in the controller it makes it easier to keep the subject centred in frame during an orbit and is smoother starting turns, easier on the middle ear! Also easier on your fingers, trying to do precise manoeuvres with tiny tiny control inputs gets tedious after a while. You were a bit "rough on the pedals" ( Helicopter parlance) in that turn before the climb up the tower then late on the pedals during that yawing left orbit and late stopping the left yaw too. Otherwise pretty damn good. Or pay a tenner and get a Ground Station Pro POI license to do it for you machine smooth without even touching the controls! It's a wonder to behold.

    Hi Gordon. Great footage. Really enjoyed it. Would you mind if I used a wee bit of it in a forthcoming music video of mine? Happy to give you a credit. Here's a link to a song we released earlier this year. Several drone operators were happy for me to use footage and receive a credit at end. Cheers J. m.ua-cam.com/video/2YXwDw3Z0wI/v-deo.html
