Recently Acquired Drone

I’m just learning to fly my new drone and here is a short video I made with some of the initial footage. While it is fairly easy to fly, there is a lot to learn, because it has so many features. This footage was taken from the back yard of the house where my wife’s brothers live in Georgetown, SC. As you can see, there is a great big marsh. It exists upon the remains of the rice paddies that prospered here before the Civil War in what was called the Willowbank Plantation. While you can’t quite see the rivers, they are in the distance. There are two rivers in the marsh: The Black and The Waccamaw. If the drone goes down in the marsh, it is essentially lost forever in the Pluff Mud.
