Fantastic, gives a totally new perspective on Sarinda and her surroundings. She’s lovely, its so good to know that bit by bit she’s being restored. Great video, and fab quality. Loved the shots around the estuary.

Every time I look at Sarinda my heart melts. I am so glad she is getting some loving renovation after all she gave during the war. She deserves it in her senior years. (I'm a softie that way). It just brings tears to my eyes.

Congratulations! The DJI drones are the best I have flown to date. I have a few others for various conditions but by far the DJI is the absolute best! My only disappointment with the Mini2 is its lack ability to mate up with VR glasses. One of my other drones has that capability and it takes drone flying to a whole new level!!!!! I have been reading the forums and people keep saying DJI is going to put an update out that will allow that capability. If they do, you have to go that route! I look forward to your getting used to your new drone and seeing all the fantastic views that are available through that platform. Keep up all the hard work! I watch you guys constantly! I also appreciate the EXTRA effort you put forth to give us the pleasure of 'looking over your shoulders' while you work!!!
