8 miles of the Los Angeles river in the San Fernando Valley

[@oXogon80]

That Brutalist charm of the LA River is something else and you captured it quite well. Greetings from Germany

[@bdseidler]

Thx for your visit from Germany and thx for the comment!

[@indigokalista]

Wow, long flight...great view of the river n a glimpse of balboa lake..🙂💖

[@bdseidler]

Thx for the visit and comment. This was 4 flights from different locations blended together for the presentation. Reception in the city is not very good so my distance was limited but worked with it. Thx again. bd

[@indigokalista]

@@bdseidler 4x yes, i read it in description...i think it's great...especially the last part. 🙂

[@dronecamper4905]

Very very cool! That was a fantastic video presentation of this waterway and area. Thanks for showing 👍🏼👍🏼😃

[@bdseidler]

Thx for checking it out. Been thinking of doing something like this for a while. This was only a small part of this long man made river.

[@janetbailey6727]

Very beautiful, if I may make a suggestion. The Rossmoyne area of Glendale is especially nice with all the green trees and being at the base of the Verdugo mountain. would make for a nice drone vid I think.

[@bdseidler]

Thanks Janet, I appreciate the tip and I'll check it out.

[@bdseidler]

@Eat mor Chikin I wish se had nicer rivers down here!

[@chrismillersrcfamily]

Awesome Bernie! I sure enjoyed your representation. Thanks for sharing.

[@bdseidler]

Thx Chris, Something I haven't done before, or at least not all at once.👍

[@NguyenDongArtist]

Those are some high powerlines right after Wilbur! :o Nice video!

[@bdseidler]

I was a little surprised by them

[@ansim]

Well done, Bernie! Loved it.

[@bdseidler]

Thx Trav, it's hard being smooth for 8 miles. 😉👍

[@shaunthedrone]

Thumbs up ere' Bernie, great capture from above, great edit - we have these in Spain. Many thanks for sharing :)

[@bdseidler]

Thx for the visit and comment Shaun!👍

[@ryangall2022]

Amazing bossman

[@bdseidler]

Thx Ryan, Being smooth was the hard part.

[@Time2FLYAlDiaz]

Awesome! Bernie. Gotta love that Ocusync. Thanks for the tour!

[@bdseidler]

Thx for the ride along Al! It did well in the city.

[@gregtraver6515]

So good.

[@bdseidler]

Thx Greg,👍

[@dronenut6359]

Alan Dower here from drone seekers this is an interesting vid

[@bdseidler]

Thx for the visit Alen. I went down the river without a paddle but i had props.😉

[@bobstupak2091]

Please do another video during a rain storm when it’s full and flowing

[@bdseidler]

@@bobstupak2091 Here's a short clip of the sepulveda basin after our big rains earlier this year. Got there as soon as the rains stopped. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJjVhX-fatKHZ80si=jsdezfKeTWWPTX2p

[@KevPV]

Very nice! I've had an the idea to do something like this for a few years now, just never went through with it. Now I don't have to, lol. Great work on this one!

[@bdseidler]

Thx Kev, It's been on my mind for years and out of boredom thought, what the heck. Didn't take long ether, just did it like a mission. RTH a couple times. Once it wanted to go someplace I wasn't. Canceled that. Last flight was from the field. Hard to fly smooth for that long of a flight. 👍

[@jerrybenjamin6168]

a trick: you can watch movies on kaldrostream. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies recently.

[@dantekyle6252]

@Jerry Benjamin yea, I've been using KaldroStream for months myself :)

[@ThomasHart59]

That was pretty cool Bernie! Those Power lines tho!

[@bdseidler]

Thx for checking it Thomas. Those wires were a nice surprise. Saw the lower ones 1st and as I got closer the upper ones appeared. Hoped there wasn't one at eye level, there wasn't. TG. Mayby you can try doing that with the aqueduct????

[@ThomasHart59]

@@bdseidler Yeah, I saw the HT tower off to the left and knew I'd be seeing the wires any second. I guess it's a holdover from my former life (profile pic). :-)

[@gordonmelrose57]

Great flight Bernie.....thanks.

[@bdseidler]

Thx Gordon! 👍

[@DonJoyce]

Very cool and well stitched together, Bernie! But YIKES...a concrete river in a concrete jungle...let's hope the whole world doesn't end up this way.

[@bdseidler]

Thx for the visit Don! This is just the beginning. This river winds itself through many towns and along it's way to the sea. This was only a portion of it's complexity. The part that runs though my neck of the woods, sorta.

[@oddity904]

Great vid man. What music is this?

[@bdseidler]

Thx R.L. the music is from a generic library in my editing software.

[@StikFlikFPV]

Nice B!

[@bdseidler]

8 miles, 4 flights. Think my longest trip was close to 2.5 miles. Out 1.3 miles, back over my head and another 1.2 miles the other way. Not bad reception for being in the city.

[@timothyfrederickchurch81]

That was a really cool video of the la river, how many batteries did you use? Did you take off at a couple spots. I know my drone couldn't make it that far from canoga park high school to woodly park?

[@bdseidler]

4 batteries and 4 take off points. I had to back track each time as well. So I did 16 miles back and forth. The edit brought all together as if it was flown with a helicopter. Thx for watching.

[@timothyfrederickchurch81]

@@bdseidler Looks like the homeless people are building up there tents again after the big fire next to the sepulvada dam?

[@memeco50]

@@bdseidler I thought it was in a helicopter. It would be nice to see it run all the way to Long Beach. Very nice.

[@timothyfrederickchurch81]

I can take a picture of my pc screen by pushing the print sysrq on keyboard. But there is another way by pushing control and p or something like that if you want to show someone what you are looking at on your computer!

[@bdseidler]

I have not done that, guess I should learn how to do that. I'll look it up on KZbin, lol

[@georgeprokopenko3044]

the hell kinda drone has an 8 mile range..

[@bdseidler]

Haha, just seeing this. It was broken up into 5 parts I think.

Spotters used :)

[@PacoOtis]

Pitiful + terrible intrusive music!

[@darrenroberts1713]

River?😂

[@bdseidler]

Yeah, that's what they call it! It rages sometimes after heavy rains but for the most part, it's dry.
