This was recorded July 21st 2016 at approximately 8:30pm... I had a number of issues, one being that the batteries hadn't be charged up for nearly 2 weeks or more and when I initially took flight, I within a minute, hit the critical low battery warning. After trying my best to burst charge a battery up, by then I was running low on time and dusk wasn't making it very easy to get a good capture. This is what I ended up with. The other problem I ran into was that for some reason, and I've only encountered it here... that anything above 250-300ft I was losing signal with the drone. And yet another issue was the serious winds that seemed to pick up rapidly above the 150ft range which REALLY seemed to eat the battery up a lot faster.

Shortly arriving home and getting straight into harvest, I had the drone prepped for some more footage before dumping the 200GB micro SD onto a machine (hoping to fill it up). I would have taken more images/footage along the trip, but there were so many restrictions specially in Alberta/British Columbia that basically this was the only place I was granted after asking for permission to fly.

This was recorded with a Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K.
