    Sorry. I think this is a repost. Someone beat me to it. But still. Crazy.

    Drone crashed into plane in Netherlands today

    Drone vs plane testing from a while back. Here is a video that’s somewhat related. YES the above mentioned plane+drone wasn’t traveling at 240 MPH. And yes, it’s a fairly big drone in the video. Settle down. I’m not saying that drones are misiles. But I am saying that drones can indeed do...

    Short night time time laspe.

    As long as your shots are for recreational purposes, regardless if you are part 107 certified or not, you’re good to fly at night all night. As long as your drone is marked with strobe lights that make the FAA happy. In theory the strobes should be visible from three statue miles. There are...

    Short night time time laspe.

    I assume you had a strobe on it. Better that way at night (oh, and legal too). I would: Shoot it at ISO 100 or 200 as you did. 1080p looks pretty decent and you can do a 2-3 even 4 second shutter. Still long enough for a smearing of light trails. The 2-4 seconds of shooting will probably...

    Mavic air 2 turning problem after firmware update.

    Isn’t FPV mode a gimbal setting? As in the gimbal doesn’t oppose the turn of the drone, it follows the bank, giving the impression in videos of more of a “flying like a plane” view. I think most fly in Follow. The gimbal counter turns the bank of the drone, keeping the horizon of the video more...

    Mavic air 2 turning problem after firmware update.

    I am pretty confused by this question. But maybe you accidentally (or the update) adjusted the mode you control the drone with. As in Mode 1/2/3.

    New App update (edit - not firmware) - Ability to PAUSE active HYPERLAPSE

    I could see using it if you pre-planned a route/waypoint/circle Or whatever and it was 15 minutes into shoot when a group of people showed up, something got into the view or whatever and you needed a momentary pause for the situation to clear itself then restart the hyperlapse. You could also...

    New App update (edit - not firmware) - Ability to PAUSE active HYPERLAPSE

    Oh, darn. Of course. The App. NOT the drone. Sorry.

    New App update (edit - not firmware) - Ability to PAUSE active HYPERLAPSE

    I may be totally wrong. But, I think they also added the ability to PAUSE the active Hyperlapse. I made one today. I used the Waypoint Hyperlapse and I noticed the PAUSE icon under the normal red record icon. Pressing it does jus that. The MA2 just sits and chills....stick movements are...

    Dusk Shoreline

    Pretty. I tad dark, but I like the coolness of the vibe. An angled shot would be cool too. That way the shore goes on forever. Wowzers, those are some giant houses Regardless, nice photo. And lots of “ughghhhhhh, Please don’t fall out of the sky” feelings in my head. I live in the Bay Area...

    Moving ON

    OMG. Lol. Thank you. That made me laugh tonight. I needed that. I TRY to remember to adjust the RTH/HOVER/LAND Option when I do things like this. But then again it is usually me walking. I have yet to have it follow a vehicle. The one thing I can run into is, I live next to bay waters. And the...

    Comet Neowise

    I have come back to this photo a few times now. Still amazes me. This is a great shot and a unique way to use a drone. I live in the bay area, California. And “summer” here basically means it’s always pretty windy, figgy etc. I love long exposure shots, blending multiple exposures etc. But it is...

    Drone Watching Drone Watching Sunset

    Super cool hyperlapse. And maybe you can get the 2nd drone to orbit the hyperlap’ing first drone. That would be cool. Although the orbiting drone would lose the stable drone as a target with lower light during sunset.
