Mikrokopter Hexa 2 FPV York Maze

This was an impromtu flight, as I was driving down a country lane I saw a sign for York Maze and decided to investigate.

The place had a large grass car park so I drove right to the back where it was empty, set up my Hexacopter, put on the goggles and took off from the roof of my car to investigate the surrounding area.

I was a bit nervous about filming from the car park, thinking someone might come out and tell me to stop, so the aerial video isn't as interesting as it could be. I would, for example, have concentrated more on the maze itself had I been more relaxed. Still, it was quite good fun, quite a thrill.

I got high enough to see Elvington Airfield at 2:50, which is about half a mile or so away from the maze.

The camera focus twitches a bit in places so I might look into ways of avoiding this, maybe by switching it to manual focus and leaving it focused to infinity like a GoPro?

I flew the whole thing FPV with Fatshark goggles, apart from right at the end where I took them off to land back on the roof of the car.
