I'm heading off to Bintan soon. I am thinking of bringing my quad and fly over the beaches for some nice aerial shots. Has anyone done this there? Any possible concerns?

The trip went well. However, I woke up a tad late, ending up rushing and being baked in the sun. This was my first time to fly with almost entire packs over water, so I was a nervous wreck. The high tide didn't help, I expected at least some good amount of sandy beach to do my usual fast and low flights and banks, but I quickly realize that banking low over water is quite disconcerting (perhaps for a noob like me). The reflection can cause confusion with my judgment of the quad's altitude, so I just kept it higher and slower, and I didn't have much shoreline to play anyway. By the time the tide went down sometime after lunch, I had all my stuff packed and was waiting for the shuttle. Maybe next time. It was a good learning experience though.
I don't use any HD recorder, so here's a collection of video link clips. You will see it as I saw it.
This was on an ADS-400Q frame with the Acro Naze32 (Baseflight) FC on 5.8G and 3300mAh 4S lipos. Flown in all manual/rate mode.
