A couple of months after the flight over Port Charlotte, getting ready for another flight over the Rhinns of Islay, this time at Bruichladdich, in particular the distillery. The camera was still a GoPro, although the drone had gained some propeller guards and foam to soften the landings. This video of Bruichladdich from the air was the result. Still a bit shaky and wobbly, but that was all we had back then.
