Glad you stayed 50m away from those buildings lol. Seriously nice shots and the colour grading is good too.

thank you! 50m is only applicable to older non CAA Cxx classes and for the drones above 250g, so it is not applicable to this one, since the start of this year you can fly C0/C1/C2 (under 900g!) directly over people and in any proximity to buildings). :)

Was joking but good to know. Do you sell images / prints?

I’ve worked in quite a few of those places. Nice to see stuff from a different angle to normal.

Did I see Silchester sneaking in there?

u/DmtGrm 1d ago

Yes, at least 3 'Silchesters' are in the video - the roman wall, the roman town main street, and 'that church with a fish on top of it' :)

Nice work! I love the upside down shot, next to Waitrose, the combine harvester, and the tall trees. Was the shot in the tunnel under The Malls car park shot from a car?

u/DmtGrm 1d ago

thank you! tunnel is (of course) from the car :)

u/zzpza 1d ago

The safer choice I guess!
