Amazing! Congratulations. Now what?

I recently went to Costa Rica, but didn't bring my drone and regretted it. I am a Part 107 pilot and try to comply with all regulations even when outside the US. I learned that it was necessary to register my drone as stated above for commercial photography, but it was not necessary as a...

Thanks! I will photograph the inside of the battery compartment as you suggest on the Phantoms.

There are also a couple of Phantoms and a Mini 2. Any issue there? Joel

Is there any way for me to untether this if I don't know his DJI password?

Would you please share your selling price? A friend of mine passed on and his widow is planning to sell his drone.

Hi Dale, Very nice! Have you watched the Greg Benz YT video on removing image noise using Lumenzia for a multiimage Milky Way shot? He uses Nik instead of Topaz Photo Ai, which I prefer. I found this to be interesting as I am trying to master the masking.s of luminosity masking.. Best, Joel

I would contact DJI an make the case as follows. 1. Here is the data about how my drone returned during my flight with last recorded location. 2. Here is a photo of it lodged in a tree that the collision avoidance in the Mavic 3 was designed to sense. 3. The descending RTH added to the Mavic 3...

Good luck! My experience at getting stents was nowhere as bad as I had imagined. Be sure to follow your cardiologists advice after your surgery. It will make all the difference about avoiding a return visit.

Don't believe TripleTek's brightness claim. I measured mine with professional metrology equipment to be no more than 800 nits. It is a fine product in every other way, but nowhere near as bright as they claim. I haven't had the opportunity to measure a Freeworld product.

I joined a SAR effort near Boise, ID last year and quickly appreciated the challenges of doing this. The search area was on a lightly wooded upslope which I could see from a similar elevation across a valley at a distance of about 1500 ft. I used a Mavic 3 which had no IR sensors so it had no...

So let's call it a telephoto lens and get on to answering the OP's question.

Well done!

The biggest deficit is the inability to fly a virtual mission with Google Earth Pro. That was the key reason for flying a Litchi mission.

I tested my Mavic 3 by flying toward a tree with sparsely populated branches to see how the avoidance behaved and where I knew I couldn't get into much trouble. This built my confidence in how well it worked and also showed me that there were circumstances where it could get trapped in a pocket...
