    I went to Stonehenge flew my drone from the bridleway where the campervans park up . Flew across to the stones then hit a geo-fence had to 3x zoom to see them .
    Great vid my friend 😊

    Hi good little video. Still yet to use mine just not had the time or weather when I have.
    Had to add to what the the other poster said, your tracking on that truck was brilliant.
    Been down that road a good few times to Cornwall when been camping never not any traffic but I think they have now built a bypass?.
    Alwya see home bargains lorry and even in the video I see one lol.
    Hope you're well and all the best to you
    ps, have to say the way the too informed you of the other aircraft was really cool .

      Cheers Ste and thanks for watching as always🖖.
      Nope - no bypass as yet which is a PITA for people like me that are relatively local. You could see from the traffic that everything just slows down as people rubberneck at the stones. it's not unusual for there to be tailbacks 2-3 miles at peak times.
      The media occasionally dust of the plans to build a tunnel under the stones, but I don't think that'll be happening any time soon...
      All the best - good weather coming soon 🤞🖖

    Great video, love England my favorite country. just a tip, you could have done it better if you use the POI inside de Waypoint to keep the Stonehenge in the center of the frame.

    • @amoktimeflies
      @amoktimeflies  10 місяців тому +1

      Thankyou, and yes - I was considering using the POI function within waypoints, just haven't got used to using that yet. Pure coincidence, but Nobby Green did a brilliant tutorial on that just yesterday! Will defo use it on my visit to Silbury Hill! 🖖

    Hi from Northern California. Ordered my mini 4 pro and learning a lot from your videos before I even receive mine. Would like to make a drone video of a B-29 that went down in the 40s near my home in chico. Hope it turns out even a fraction as good as any of yours. Thanks from Chico California!

    Enjoyed your video and subscribed. Looked at the google maps. You are talking about taking off on A303 south of Stonehenge? I see two little roads there almost right across. Are those OK? I saw in your video a gate? would it be closed very early? Thanks.

      @amoktimeflies  2 місяці тому

      Thanks - Yep - just south of the A303 almost opposite where the stones are. Keep an eye out though - I've heard that they've been blocking it off, BUT that may have just been when the solstice was on... ("when the solstice was on" 😂😂). Best of luck! 🖖

    For some better stone action, get thee to Avebury. More stones, an actual henge plus Silbury Hill and West Kennet Longbarrow in spitting distance. Fly zone permitting of course.

    • @amoktimeflies
      @amoktimeflies  10 місяців тому

      Yep - Avebury is a challenging one - probably an early morning shoot is best for that. I have also considered Silbury Hill, but that is also bisected by a NFZ as well + isn’t actually that interesting, but I’ll probs still do it while I’m there… 🖖

    • @barnum4244

    The difficulty I have is with discerning the boundaries of what is classed as National Trust control, and their byelaws regarding image rights - especially when appearing on monetised channels - would you be able to expand on this as, although not in no-fly zones, this is something that is causing us content creators an awful lot of anguish. My understanding is that as long as the images are not acquired within the vertical airspace of their control, they are able to be used - as soon as we encroach that vertical space, NT have a whole department who will send you a nice bill to retro-license!

    • @amoktimeflies
      @amoktimeflies  10 місяців тому

      I have to say I’ve not heard of that at all! (Stonehenge is English Heritage BTW, but similar restrictions I believe).
      As far as I’m aware no-one ‘owns’ the airspace above their property and the only organisation that ‘controls’ it is the CAA.
      As long as you take off and land from a public area as I did there is little they can do about it.
      We’ll see if/when I get monetised though, although I was outside their ‘vertical space’ the whole time. Worth raising this as a subject for discussion in a Geeksvana live stream..
      Thanks for the comment & the view 🖖

      @lovelifeloveboat 10 місяців тому

      @@amoktimeflies Hi, thanks for the reply - actually, sadly that is not the case if the images are used for commercial use - which both EH and NT regard monetised channels as and use Bye Laws to enforce. Yep I can see your clever tracking and massively impressed! There is quite a bit of background stuff on YT and other platforms regarding this! Good luck with monetisation - maybe worth setting up an adsense account and buying a small promotion on one of your videos - no more than a few £££s - that should get you over the bar and set you on your way!!! Great content- really enjoyable and happy to subscribe and contribute! I'm using a mini3 and Air2 currently - but feeling the A2 may need an upgrade soon!!

    A bit too dramatic, you were flying at around 120 feet, if a manned aircraft was flying at that height or close to it you not need airsense to tell you that. !!!! A manned aircraft in that location cannot be lower than 500 feet. It uses ADS-B in, so it will tell you about any other aircraft that is transmitting with ADS-B out. gliders, balloons, commercial jets, GA aircraft, helicopters etc etc

      How very dare you accuse me of being a drama queen!! 🤣🤣🤣
      But seriously - I prefer to be safe than sorry - it's just instinctive for me to drop my drone whenever I hear an aircraft or get a warning of one.
      Please also bear in mind I'm trying to maintain good situational awareness whilst continually whittering on about what I'm doing at the same time! 🤣 So I would say no harm no foul...
      But sincerely - thanks for the info - it's all useful stuff and will bear it in mind in the future!🖖
