QAV500 FPV - Blackie Spit, Surrey, BC
Blackie Spit is one of the best birding areas in Canada with almost 200 species of birds recorded in a calendar year. The sandbars are a favorite spot for Harbour Seals and their pups. Blackie Spit Park also has an off-leash dog area, swimming beach, picnic area, washrooms, natural area trails, and walking paths.
I did this flight just before the previously uploaded Crescent Beach flight. Blackie Spit is just a little Northeast of the beach area I flew over in the previous video. You can see the same pier if you look to the south.
The white "sludge" you see is actually ice, it was -3C. Although Boundary Bay is salt water, the Nicomekl River ends at Blackie Spit and the Serpentine River ends about another ½ mile to the North. Both of these rivers dump millions of gallons of fresh water into the bay.
As both a quad and an FPV rookie, I learned a lot from this flight but came away impressed with the quality of the video images and the way that all the gear worked. Practice, practice, practice!!!
This was flown with a QAV500 equipped with a GoPro Hero 3 on a Zenmuse gimbal.
