      I'm always worried a bird will accidently take out my low flying drone over water at the beach, hence I look out for our feathered friends just as much as I do other drones.

      Flying over water is no different than flight over land. Its only problematic if your drone STOPS flying over water, 😆 Seriously, just don't fly to low or close to the surface. Unless your drone tends to drop from the skqayy like a stone. +Start small: kiddie pool or bathtub

      I went out to the local beach and took some video of the Queen Mary in Long Beach I’ve only been flying for two months I was a little nervous but I’m getting much more comfortable with it and it’s so so fun to see what you can see and the shots you can get just amazing. Now I want to get into filters and I know this is my favorite channel for the right information.I’m going to start with an ND 32.any setting information would be helpful.

    I've flown a handful of times over water, mostly rivers and lakes. One potential Hazard to keep in mind especially on Rivers is not only the trees and small branches that aren't easily seen but the discarded fishing lines and lures hanging from said limbs that are even harder to see. 😔

      Just be aware that water can cause damages to the drone in long term due to the oxidation of the electronic parts (even if you have succesfully dried it out completely) A friend had the same situation, but after a few months malfunctions started and he had to replace the drone. Not saying that the same will happen to you but keep an eye on it just in case...

    Thank you for your videos and tip. I watched many videos about the mini 2 before I was able to fly mine. I got it during christams but de winter was to cold to fly.
    The 3th time when I did want to film the playground I did spot some birds. I did. Follow them over the frozen sea. And whitout notesing is was more then 1.5km away. Mini did fly great. When I wanted him back I pressed return to home. Mini did go up and backwards!!!
    Luckily the nose was in the right direction so I did lower is put it in sport and had no problem.
    The next time I did film a waterfall. Hope to put that on on UA-cam after some of you sound tips.

    Did my first few flights over a lake the other day. Its terrifying but I like your first tip about trusting the technology. Might be the hardest thing to do when you first get into flying drones especially if you are coming from a much cheaper drone that was not reliable like I did. But once you start trusting the tech thats when the fun begins.
