Today it was a beautiful flying day.
We used it, with my friend, a professional photographer and PPL pilot
to test he Xenon as an areal photography platform.

Raphael was kind enough to put down the doors on the SP-XENR,
after I finished my training. It took him less than 5 minutes.

They took off with my friend for a short flight to test
all the possibilities.

My friend's comment after the flight was very positive.
He did a lot areal photography in his life, but was really
surprised with the stability and smoothness of the flight.
Very important for the job.

He was able to do many good shots even without stabilizer.

Some images enclosed.

Here you go.

Most of the pictures are from the construction site of the A2 highway
Berlin-Warsaw. Most of it is ready, the last missing 100 km near Warsaw
should be ready next year. It passes by the Baranów airfield by 500m.

I love the unfinished interchange, the picture has very nice balance.

The detail is amazing.

What camera was he using?

Thank you, Vance
