I was wondering who would be the first with a drone video in the photo section!! I think this is the first! Nice.......

Was fun doing it but a little hairy on recovery. I think we will anchor next time before landing on the deck. Would like to try and get the drone a little lower in altttude also.

NIce shot!!!

I wondered about the recovery part. We found that the GPS sensor in the drone wasn't perfectly steady. The thing would jump around 5 or 10 ft when it was supposed to be still. Recovery required waiting a while until it got in the right position to catch it. Did you have the same problem?

My dad was landing it manually. The thing that made it most difficult was the avoidance collision didn't want to let it get close enough to the tower to land on the deck. We had to turn that off. Also, the autocorrection wanted to fly it to the side after it got below the gunnels bc the wind wasn't present once it got that low.
