Active track will only track people or car/trucks. Everything else is hit or miss.

When birds are too interested, it's better to climb than descend. If you climb at a fast rate, the birds can't match that maneuver since it's not something they are accustomed to in nature. In all probability, if they're really pissed, they can out dive your drone.

This is a compelling reason to bite the bullet and learn DaVinci Resolve.

I think I paid $75 for mine but that was a couple of years ago. You can design it yourself to put what you want in it. I had drone (air 2S),4 batteries, controller (with the slots so I don't have to remove the sticks) and a slot for my iPad Mini. After the case being under $25 on sale, I was all...

While I have shot a couple jobs over the years, like @BlueHeeler , my regular (non-flying) job keeps me busy. I like the cinematography aspect of it myself. It is mainly a hobby since at this point unless you're doing something like mapping or have gotten into it early, the chances for making a...

I have the orange Apache case, I got it on sale and only paid like $25 for it. The one upgrade I did however was go to Case Builder and design my own foam insert that fit that case perfectly.

Here's a good explanation that I got from one of the other members on the forum. https://www.red.com/red-101/camera-panning-speed There are other subjects on this site as well that are useful.

The only thing I would say is there's a top down shot which it looked as though the shutter speed was too high because it was strobing. and a couple shots where the white balance seemed to be to the blue side but other than that, well done!

I believe Pilot Institute has a thermal drone course. Perhaps that will help. https://pilotinstitute.com/course/dji-mavic-3-enterprise-deep-dive/

I've had Macs for 30 years (since I use them at work). The worst one I had was an eMac. My best friend (who is also my IT/tech guy) called it the devil Mac, he'd never had one be so unstable before. He apologized to me for suggesting I get one for home. LOL He finally got rid of it for me last...

I would check all of your batteries if you find the drone. They are known to pop out and cause this exact scenario. It doesn't take much swelling for them to lose contact. I have a few that are relegated to non-flying duty.

I flew a job on the 14th, not a hint of any problems at all.

I have an iPad Mini 5 and it works fine with the Fly app. I just got done updating and using it to flying a job last week.

It says plainly on the controller to make sure the battery is full enough to complete the update. It also says not to turn the drone off during an update. You should never try an update with a low battery. What you have now is probably a doorstop.
