Welcome, Blu!

Wow. Interactions like this are the reason I joined the forum :) What an awesome job you have! The information you provided about shell explosion height and radius is fascinating too. Thanks for sharing some awesome shots! I filmed around my neighborhood on New Years Eve on midnight, and the...

Awesome. Thanks so much for the feedback Rick. This is exactly the kind of information I was looking for.

Thanks for the advice. I suppose the higher ISO will allow for more detail in dark areas of the shot. I have seen some instances where the higher ISO of night mode can make shots appear slightly grainy.

Good morning all, As it is New Year’s Eve, I anticipate filming some fireworks in my suburban neighborhood. I have been practicing flying at night, and the new firmware on my Mini 4 allows me to “see” using the vision sensors, a sure aid in avoiding collisions. Does anyone have any experience...

Hi all, Just wanted to share a photo I recently took at a lake near my home. My apologies for the lack of post processing, but I think the results are quite adequate nonetheless. And framing or photo composition suggestions are appreciated, especially in regards to shooting in early...

It would be amazing to photograph the wildflowers as they are in bloom! I am right there with you in regards to editing my footage. I think at a basic level, learning to splice/cut the videos into a montage and synchronizing with music would yield dividends. I even think there is a DJI app that...

You are right. In order to manipulate any photo or video files, I would first need to have a local copy. Right now, the benefit of storing mainly on OneDrive is that I have access to all of my photos and videos from my phone so I can share with friends and family conveniently. If I were to...

How generous of you lol. The cameras for the mavic line are stunning. I'm really happy with the portability of my mini though. Plus it has a lot of neat features.

Okay nice. I also fly out of my driveway, and if planes are flying into runway 4 at HOU, they pass above my house at about 1700 feet :) I lie just outside of the altitude zone for the runway though, so I'm not height restricted. I'm always extremely cautious when flying near home and never near...

Nice. I did some light reading/viewing regarding the commercial use drones that DJI makes. They are something really special. I was especially interested in some of the agricultural-use drones. I can't wait to see what application drones will take on next.

Thanks! I was looking for a map or feature just like this.

Thank you for the information @smbishop. My procedure for obtaining footage is similar to yours. After each flight, I copy the files directly to a OneDrive account with ample storage. I usually only keep the JPG, DNG, and MP4 files (I have already made the mistake of taking flight without the...

I love Colorado! I'm forever jealous of you for being so close to the mountains lol.

Hi @TexasEric, hope all is well! What kind of drone did you end up getting? I'm really loving my Mini 4.
