It’s a challenging operation to safely pilot a drone from onboard a moving vessel at sea but the challenges don’t come any harder than conducting this flight from the deck of a new passenger ferry during during her first sea trials.
With metal beneath me, around me, radar masts and whip aerials causing significant signal interference, high winds, gusts and a moving ship. The only way to fly a Drone is totally Manually with ALL sensors, GPS & Obstacle avoidance turned off.
Hand launching and catching is the only way to safely mitigate risk of crashing (if your skill set is up to it). A safe option is to utilise someone else confident enough to partake in this important role whilst you totally focus on flying.
Thanks to Ferguson Marine, Port Glasgow for allowing me the opportunity to join the Team on Board ‘Glen Sannox’ on her first Builders Sea Trials as the team conducted rigorous manoeuvres.
The video explains it all. Let’s see if you can spot our welcomed guests who decide to race us at the start of the ‘Acceleration Trials.
Thanks for your time, ENJOY THE CLIP
The ship was finally handed over, well done to the skill of those that built it.
Its beautiful inside, the Emirates of passenger vessels id say 👍🏾
2 minutes 50 seconds in and there's a dolphin alongside the bow, racing the boat. Fabulous.
Well spotted Miles 😁👍🏾 Thanks for watching and thanks for the compliment.
Cracking footage
Thanks very much Phil 😁👍🏾
Outstanding job Man well done
Thanks very much Graham 😁👍🏾
Brilliant footage...
Boat is looking amazing....
Thanks very much, appreciated 😁
Fab video, well done........she's looking great. I wasn't a fan of the sloping paintwork when the Loch Seaforth first had it, but it's defo growing on me. Looking forward to her arriving on the Arran run.
Thanks Allan, 🙂
It means ive got my composition and editing to a decent standard.
Thanks very much 😁👍🏾
I doubt you will see it in service anytime soon! It’s a White Elephant
Great video and looks ike a really good boat. Looking forward to seeing her in Brodick
Thanks Gavin, that's really appreciated 😁👍🏾
Still waiting then.
The ferry looks good, you did a great job filming the sea trials.
Thank very much Martin, I really appreciate the comment. Just trying my best to provide a small amount of visual entertainment, it was hard going but very rewarding.
The 'isle of Arran' has more external passenger space, wonder why is was cut back on this vessel.
Nice work 👏
Thank you very much that's really appreciated. 😊👍🏾
And I understand that it has broken down and will need 4 month to fix!
I have no idea on how long it would take to fix as im a (self employed) Professionasl Drone Pilot and not en engineer im afraid, 👍🏾
Looks fantastic Is it still on trials or broken down as this was 8 month's ago and not in service
Thanks.
But unfortunately I dont know and cant answer your question as I don't work for the company. Im a professional Drone Pilot, and work freelance.
@stevemcintosh5322 I live here on Arran and was a bit sarcastic as the ferry is both late and over budget Thanks nice work with the drone
😁 Thanks very much. All I can say is that it's not that long now, I dont think. I visit Arran a few time a year and hoping its in service by the next time I visit.
And still not fit enough to be delivered or put into service! I doubt it will see service anytime soon
Great drone footage though.. took a lot of skill to capture those manoeuvres, whilst standing outside on the upper deck.
Would the stabalizers be used in high speed turns.
I can only assume so, I think that's what they are designed for. However, I was only the drone pilot, there to capture its manoeuvres. Sorry Ian.
Which engine was it using.
I haven't a clue to be honest, ~Im just a professional Drone Pilot . Sorry😁
shame they gave up all the outside viewing deck space very popular with passengers
Its still all there, bolts are in place ready for seats to be fitted.
How much did this boat cost😮😂😂
Yep. It was very difficult composing and capturing those drone images, and took a wee while to edit.
So thanks for the compliment. 🙂
Eh’ it’s a ship, not a boat, and it cost approximately the same amount as your average royal coronation ceremony, so very good value all-round.

8 months ago and still not in service.Its a joke great footage though
Im a drone pilot. Its all about capturing the footage, thanks for the compliment.
@@stevemcintosh5322 which you did excellently
This little tin can has taken 7 years and still not in service. The Titanic was built and in service in 3 years 1 month.
So what do you think of the hard work put into capturing the drone footage?
@stevemcintosh5322
Brilliant.

Thanks. That's appreciated 🙂
@@stevemcintosh5322
My sincere apologies not remarking on the drone footage first, before my rant about the Glen Sannox.
Superb footage and a credit to the world of film. 👍
@@ivorjizzload5643
That's ok, I understand peoples frustration on the matter and most folk don't realise im freelance and work for myself and ask me lots of questions about the vessel that im unable to answer. 😁
It looks terrible, its all deformed due to being sat so long
Look at my website and what I represents, it's not about what the vessel looks like, it's all about my skill as a drone pilot and my editing skills. So either make a constructive comment or none at all.
