flying at a landmark, 400 feet above sea level

[BrianP]

the landmark, Kilburn's White Horse, is around 400 feet above sea level and the cloud was low today...
My Spark kept telling me ' video signal weak...' I guess the cloud was to blame as I was flying around 100 feet up and not very far out.

Here's the vid of the two flights today:

Totally cool! And I just found a new way to use a tripod. Lol
Thats a great idea. Yeah signal loss was due to the fog.

How did you attach the controller to the tripod?

Hi Norm,
1) I carved a piece of wood to fit the controller, as if it was a phone
2) I had a used tablet holder that I modded to fit my kindle Fire
3) I had a spare tripod that has been modded lots in the past so I just modded the shoe to accept a tablet holder.
here's some photos of the mod:
