1m/s tree flight timelapse

Set the autopilot to fly a precise X at 1m/s to see if it would be any more stable than the 4m/s footage. Unfortunately heading was still just as bad & there wasn't enough battery power to finish the shot. Either GPS isn't accurate enough at this range to point towards a subject or Goog Earth imagery is way off. Fortunately the angle of attack to get 1m/s was much less. Note velocity oscillation as the computer hunts for 1m/s.

Wet streets look much better, but that takes a storm which knocks down most of the lights.
