Was a littel nervous as this is the furthest I have went to date. I had the P3P set to 1080P 50 and was over all really happy with the video. The only few problems I had was a few video drop outs but no disconections and full signal all the way. I am using a Iphone 6 plus and the video can drop out only a few feet away. I think its something to do with between the phone and the controler. As you can see from the video you will see in places it suffers from a bit of jello. The funny thing is at the end of the video when I bring it down to hand catch it you see the jello disappear as soon as I put my hand on the bird.

Jello really bugs me so I have a list of things to buy to try help it.
ND filters
New dampers
Prop balancer rod

Cheers for the comments. Yeah it's just plain stock.

From Kelty Scotland and have a nice view of that hill from my window and just had to fly up it. Stayed at 400' until I got to the hill. Then 800' to fly over the front.

Friendly advice - adjust gimbal down to remove props from video. Amazing countryside!!

PS - Assuming your wife at the end - she looks about as excited as mine watching me fly :p
