Roseberry Topping, North Yorkshire. U.K.

Nice capture Brian, I love the landscape.
cheers Rotorwash!
I learnt a big lesson while flying this morning...
The needle position on the go4 app compass is your best friend!

Height was restricted to 200 feet by the app/location.
Wind was triggering onscreen warnings at max height.
I could not reach the topping from my take off height.
I took a few shots and a blown out vid and then flew backwards to return to home point.
Drone drifted left, easily corrected...
distance from me went down and then began going up!
I checked the compass needle and sure enough I had flown over my head and was flying away...
I paused, gathered myself and proceed to fly so that the numbers counted down.
It worked and I got the drone overhead, then landed it.
So... the compass needle was a godsend, especially on the ipad mini4 screen.
If I had been using a phone I may not have realised that the compass needle moves up and down the screen, indicating how far you are from take off...

Lesson learnt!!!
Now all I need to do is figure out how to solve the blown out images...
 
Saw this before and whilst it’s a good effort I thought it was a tad confusing. He kept on pointing the antenna at 90degrees to the Spark which we are not advised to do and although it sort of made the point it was still a bit confusing. The little bottom left thing is really helpful and when used with the three parameters along the bottom of the screen it all works together. You’ve just got to watch the arrow in the bottom left thing (sure it has a name) check out the sticks and ensure the bird is on her way back (if that’s what you want.
