A look at our camp from the air.

I took out my Mavic Pro a few days ago and shot some footage of our winter camp.
I actually shot this on two different days. The first day, I took it up to get a few shots of my friend Janet, who was fishing from her boat down the backwater channel we’re camped on. I then shot a video overflight ending at our camp.
Time once again for a shameless plug…
If you like helicopters, you’ll love the FlyingMAir YouTube Channel. Check it out for everything from time-lapse annual inspections to cockpit POV autorotation practice to a flight home from a taco dinner at a friend’s house — and more.
I shot the second half the next day. I wanted to circle the camp from the air, but I wanted it set up as we usually have it. The first day, my truck was parked inside the living area because we’d offload groceries and water jugs. In the second half of the video, my truck is parked where it belongs, on the other side of the boat ramp.
The light was definitely better the first day I shot. I should have just moved the damn truck and kept shooting. My bad.
Anyway, here’s the video; I posted it on the FlyingMAir YouTube channel. Read the video description to learn more about my music choice.

Great ‘footage’ as we used to say.
Are you still flying a Mavic Pro?
The strategic positioning of the vehicles is worthy of a chess grand master!
Have a great holiday.
Yep. Still the Mavic Pro. I’ve never had a need to update it.
Enjoy the holidays!
Great shot Maria! Have a very Merry Christmas
Hey, Don! Up for a helicopter flight in January? I’ll split the cost with you on a rental and put the duals in. I’ll be in touch.
