Ride On The Mountain...

 

Out reasonably early on the Burgman 200 this morning.  At the last second, I grabbed the HoverAir X1 Pro (drone/flying camera) with the thought that I might get a "zoom out" image at the top of South Mountain.  Yeah, it's never just "a shot."

The traffic on the mountain was as light as I have ever seen - you could count the number of vehicles I saw on one hand... well, if you had 6 fingers on that one hand (3 bicycles, 1 motorcycle, 2 pickup trucks - and only 1 bicycle was in my lane, the rest were in the opposing lane).  So, of course, I felt the need to shoot more than one image, and take some video.

Here are some of the images...



 Zoom out at the upper parking lot (above); starting down the mountain (below)...


 You know you are at the top, with the "antenna farm"...


 I was using the Hover in Follow Mode.  And, this shot in Dolly Track Mode (from the front)...


 More follow shots...



 A few photos taken with my phone...


A ravine full of Saguaro cacti...




 A great ride.  And kinda fun capturing some of it with the HoverAir X1 Pro.  Video to follow.
