Your better angles really bring out their beauty. Thanks for the inspiration.

Appreciate your comments and feedback P_C.
The drone opens up other possibilities of creating still images, like you mention, location/angles for perspective and compositions, actually you have inspired this duck some ideas, the camera does have some good potential with manual settings, application of Neutral Density filters, does Bracketed Frames for HDR purposes, and also does Raw files.
I am looking forward to more learning opportunities,
Cheers

Thnx Leo, yeah the camera is reasonably good considering being a compact lightweight package, a lot of manual settings to play with, does video upto 4K @ 60Fps, but I think 4K at 30Fps is better, particularly using neutral density filters enabling lengthening the exposure to smooth the flow of video to create a more cinematic effect
Yes there was not much room between the water and them branches, about 1.5 - 2mtrs, I had about 5-6 practice runs (About 1/2 a batteries worth) before developing some sort of flow in the movement, needing to set to 'Sport Mode' so the sensors are turned off, otherwise it wont go close to things, but Sport mode also delivers speedier joystick response, meaning move the stick a mm and the drone moves a metre before you know it, not forgetting you are doing four things at once, moving forward, turning and lowering under the branches, plus gimble tilting the camera down ,, who says man can't multi task
