McGuire's Great Adventures
Portugal
Приєднався 10 лют 2021
These are videos of our adventures in Portugal and as we travel throughout Europe. They are being shot with my Samsung Galaxy S23+ Phone, GoPro Hero 11 Black and my DJI Mini 4 Pro Drone.
Portimão & Alvor Beaches
Shot this video from our neighborhood down to the beaches of Portimão and Alvor. Flew over and along the cliffs of Praia do Vau Beach in Alvor all the way down to Praia da Rocha Beach in Portimão. Then flew back past the Turim Hotel and finally back to the neighborhood where I had a soft landing by us. It was an interesting flight with encounters of Kamikaze Seagulls dive bombing my drone as few times. But the beaches had lots of people, water was crystal clear and it was a beautiful day for droning.

This was my second flight with my drone. I decided to go to the cliffs over Praia do Amado Beach. It was funny on my first two attempts I got out of range of my drone with the controller, and it triggered a return to home of the drone.

This video was shot at Portimão Harbor Entrance Lighthouse. We were doing a Geocache Multi and had to count the number of steps on the lighthouse and then use that number to compute the coordinates for the final location. It was a beautiful morning out and we actually saw a lot of jellyfish on the rocks on the walk up to the lighthouse.
