    Mini 3 Pro GPS AGL variation (accuracy) during flight?

    Okay, that makes sense. We are in a range of mountains and we have had very unstable weather. Rain, sun, etc. I will pay more attention to my mico environment ... as I should anyways. Just for edification, does anyone know the accuracy of the onboard barometer?

    Mini 3 Pro GPS AGL variation (accuracy) during flight?

    Sorry if there was any confusion about AGL. Since I established my RTH position at ground level, I judged it was appropriate to use. However, as you stated, it is the Variation from my established plane of reference at the time the drone created it's RTH position an not necessarily AGL.

    Mini 3 Pro GPS AGL variation (accuracy) during flight?

    Today I was flying my Mini 3 Pro around a lake taking movies of boats and scenery. I established my RTH prior to take off. When I was approaching my return location I noticed my AGL indication was -15 feet or so. I had expected to see something around zero. This happened on each of three...

    DroneMate app - anyone used this?

    I can only agree that researching international rules and regs can be a chore. I also travel with my drone to other countries and it is often a chore to find all the local and regional rules. If this app works, it will be a blessing.

    3 Kathmandu Durbar Square, Kathmandu, Nepal

    OMG. Your video brings back such memories. An excellent job of merging Aerial and land videography. I recognized many of the temples and places. Not much has changed. In 2001 I spent three weeks in a hostel next to the Temple and created a video of our trek in the Helembu National Park. My first...

    M3P Filters

    I have the PolarPro for my Mini 3 Pro, and bought therm from B&H. I have not found any problems using them. My 4k videos look great. I just wish I got the 64nd. The highest I currently have is the 32nd and the summer sun in CT has me using higher frame rates than I prefer. I have used the...

    Las Caletas, Vallarta Mexico - Day Trip

    Wow ... Thanks for the detailed critique. You have tapped into some of my issues. Hurried shots. Fly it arouand and see what I get. I can be very lazy at times You were astute to pick up on the fps problem. I realized belatedly that some of the footage was in 25fps and I converted it to 30fps in...

    Thanks. Wow what great comments I am happy to receive. Lack of subject and seemingly cuts for no reason. Hmmmm, I didn't think that, obviously. I will look at my video with those filters on, see what I can do to improve. Thanks again for commenting. Great

I get ambient all the time when use my DSLR to take videos. Duh, what was my problem. Thank you for your other commens as well. I learn so much from...

    Las Caletas, Vallarta Mexico - Day Trip

    First off, I learn so much from watching other flyers work. Second off, I wish I did what you-all did ... some amazing stuff. With that said, I would appreciate feedback on this video. It was a tour we took while vacationing near Nuevo Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I berate myself for not planning...
