Needed to include them as this is a Real estate project (interior shots)Enjoyed most of it. Well flown!
A tad long... might delete some of the daylight and interior shots.
Ahh! It’s good to have work these days!Needed to include them as this is a Real estate project (interior shots)
I've been working this project for 8 months, started from the grading to the finish build. Taken over 200 stills and this was the 2nd video, I was not a fan of doing a night shoot (just from working in the industry, would make me wonder what you are trying to hide), but its different. The tenant takes over next week, so its a big push to finish the punch list of touch ups that need to be done.Ahh! It’s good to have work these days!
Going straight up is the place to start as the first few night flights will be spent with imaging and video setting until you’re sure you have it right as well as a feel for minor tweaks sometimes needed. Unles there is significant fog or dust neither the Firehouse ARC2s nor ARC XLs have ever cause any problem. I recommend using them as they could be a drone saver, especially near/over busy streets or freeways.After 2 1/2 years of droning I have still not done a night shot. Deathly afraid! Any tips? If I did anything, I would just go straight up, try to film somewhere near but not over , a traffic circle or cloverleaf, and come straight down. Not sure If I should attach and turn on my strobe (Firehouse) since I wouldn't want to affect the image with the strobe light. So, straight up, straight down, no trees, traffic circle would be my criteria for a start.
Thanks Tom. I am really tempted- will wait for freedom from quarantine.Going straight up is the place to start as the first few night flights will be spent with imaging and video setting until you’re sure you have it right as well as a feel for minor tweaks sometimes needed.

Very good video.
I’m trying to learn more about shooting video. So, your shoot brought a few questions to mind. Hopefully you can share some information.
1 - What app do you use to create the video?
2 - Where do you get your audio? The music fits the video very well.
3 - Did you slow down the speed of the drone yourself?
4 - This question is merely based on my personal preference. The exposure could use a tweak. Does your app allow for lightening the video? I realize that it might compromise the quality. So, this one is just me being curious.
Thanks for sharing. It makes me want to do better.
I’m a professional photographer and plan to study up for my commercial drone pilot license next week. My preliminary investigations reveal that nighttime drone use is prohibited with a commercial license. How do you deal with this issue?
My 9-5 is as a Construction inspector (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) NPDES, covers Commercial sites, industrial sites, Restaurants, and Flood Control & Watersheds. I cover from the start of projects to the end to make sure they stay in compliance with either the General Construction Permit, Industrial Permit, Grease Programs, Erosion Control and maintenance of Watershed location. Drones are becoming a bigger tool to use to gain access to remote locations, cutting time to inspect sites and logging progress on projects. Getting a city wide authorization saves time for me having to submit an authorization on each and every project that I need to cover.This is interesting. Thanks for the info. What was the city-wide one for specifically? I'm just trying to get a feel for what the FAA is willing to approve. Finally, what was the "proper format" so that we can follow your lead?
Where did you get that info from?
If you are flying under Part 107 (for payment/furtherance of a business) then you will need a wavier
If you are conducting a flight for hobby/rec then you don't need a wavier
You can do both, just because you have Part 107 status, doesn't mean every flight you do is under that status
I can’t remember precisely where, but I do believe it was a federal site. Thank you for the info. Odd conundrum when a recreational users who can just go fly at night right out of the box doesn’t need to worry about it but after taking the time and making the effort necessary to study, learn and practice a professional with a commercial license must seek a waiver.
