    Obstacle Avoidance At Night

    Remember to have your anti collision lights on top. The member who said to set waypoints during the day and run at night is a well recommended way also. Good luck. Remember any lights added where the camera will see will definitely degrade the reason for night photo/ videography.

    Not a narc, too good not to share.

    Every state has a business license to do business in that state. Over 30 years. Plus I graduated from the New York institute of photography and had my own studio downtown for 6 years and had to finally give it up to everyone running around with a decent camera or a smartphone. The cost of...

    Not a narc, too good not to share.

    That is somewhat the point. If I was buying a car from someone and they called the maintenance up on the cars database and I noticed a high number of red lines, I am calling off sale noting abuse. If I have friends looking at the same car, I am going to point out what I found. They can choose...

    Asking for your 2 cents, Air 3 or Mini 4 pro

    Air 3 with 70mm tele. Also keep in mind batteries. If RID is required , you will have to have the extended battery. I have the Mini 3 pro, Mavic 3 classic, and the Air 3. None have the battery type/ RID problem. Also the stability, even though the mini can handle some wind do burp a little...

    Waypoints and obstacle avoidance. Duh, learning.

    If you have the drone anywhere where you see the proximity warning in any direction and set a waypoint, when the drone returns to that position it will stop the mission. I had created 16 waypoints, but flew closer to a sign as part of the video. Great shot, but when running the mission it went...

    waypoint creation issue

    I believe they can be created on a PC and uploaded to the RC controller. Or while you are flying. I know it can be dangerous creating a waypoint if you haven't scouted the area. Looks great on map, but what if someone puts an obstacle that the map doesn't show. Plus power lines, or tower...

    U.S. Based - What will you do IF....

    I am trying to put together a video demonstating how easy it is to gather information from cell phones, smart televisions, home electronics, all while protecting from drones flying over at 250 plus feet with no audio. Going to really show how foolish and insecure we really are. It has people...

    Flying over dams

    I have always talking with the authorities worked out. Most understand the intent. If our enemies want videos or pictures they can look at the tens of thousands posted from visitors with cell phones on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.

    Waypoints and obstacle avoidance. Duh, learning.

    Using my Air 3 Sunday and after setting 16 waypoints, ran the mission and it stopped at waypoint 14. Ran again and it stopped at waypoint 3. I remembered having this issue in the same location months ago with my Mavic 3 classic. After assuming there is a GPS offset problem I went home and...

    Should I sell my Mavic 3 Classic for the Mavic 3 Pro?

    My two cents. I started with my Mini 3 pro. Great drone . Then I bought the Mavic 3 classic for the hasselblad 4/3. Absolutely love this drone and the stability, battery time, and variable aperture are great. I have considered the Pro many times , but didn't want to pay 500 more and many videos...

    Passed the Part 107

    Congratulations. I know it was a lot of studying. But , you have not only have gain a lot of knowledge, but now will be in place when the regulations tighten. Seriously, I see more places will either ask for the credentials or it will lower the stress level when dealing with local authorities...

    Massive Signal Issue RC2 with Video and Flight Log

    When you look at the transmission data, does it stay below the 100 mark? I wonder if others are starting to have transmission issues on other models of drones. Are you in the US?

    Panoramas with tele lens?

    I tried it tonight and it switched back to 24mm when I entered panoramic mode. I am sure I can manually shoot and allow 33 percent overlap and then purchase software to photostich. But, I heard through the grapevine that it will be available to use the 3X while using panoramic. But apparently...

    Panoramas with tele lens?

    I have heard that with the latest update, that 3X is now available for panoramic mode. I will check out tonight after work.
