did not realize we were talking about a thermal camera being used in daylight

What does that even mean? "detects daylight"? I've flown my mav3, 3pro and 4pro in all sorts of conditions including super bright conditions with bright snow all around. Never heard of shutting the "thermal off" Is this true? Not as far as I know and i've had a fair bit of experience.

do make flying very low to the ground. DJI advised me just a few feet off the ground. It has helped considerably although not 100%

I've never had it stop my drone. I get red marks to the side and I think a sound but never to the degree that it has stopped me. It happens to me when I am well above the ground with nothing nearby. If it actually stopped me from flying I'd send it in for repairs and ...oh wait..can't do that...

500 is the norm. It's illegal in the US to get that high AGL but you can "climb" mountain sides if you can see your drone that far off. Regardless of that, there are areas outside of airports where DJI will allow the drone to fly up to 1000M. I thought that when they removed authorization...

I enjoy his channel except for his hawking of Eco batteries but I don't blame him for trying to make a few bucks.

I’ve kept a few of mine and I’m glad I did given the difficulty of getting one now. I have an old phantom that I don’t fly. I have the original FPV, which I also don’t fly very often. Same with my old Mavic pro. I also have the original ovata and the Avada two and I fly both of them. I have the...

I was redistributing my Micro SD cards among my drones with them scattered all around me and started to just put one on top of another. I chuckled and decided to stack them up. Three older drones that I don't use often complained when they didn't make it to the stack but I told them I...

Using 24 frames per second opens you up to significant issues with judder. Do a web search on that term and you will get an appreciation as to why shooting 30 or 60 frames per second is almost invariably a better choice than 24. 24 was a standard when there was film, but in today’s age when we...

Think twice about the fast charging. It’s a universal truth that the faster you charge the battery the less life that you would eventually get out of it. I can’t quantify that but it’s a general principal so with that in mind when I have plenty of time, I charge my Mavic 4 Batteries with a USB...

Ha. I can’t have caffeine anymore, but I like coffee so much. I have expensive beans shipped to me and I’m a retired teacher not some rich guy. Stupidest thing ever to pay money for flavored water.

That’s a bit of a confusing question. i’ve never heard of any other way to set those parameters because I think for almost everybody it’s pretty straightforward. The circle by definition is 360° but you could do this kind of freeform creating a hyper lapse for any part of the circle that you...

Drone-works.com has it in stock as of this AM

I have a Mav4 but kept my Mav 3Pro and Mav 3 Have Avata 1 and 2 and Mini 4 Pro. A few older ones Super glad I didn’t sell the older drones. (The orig FOV) oh Neo too. Hard to replace a drone now…

It's one of the great things about the Avata. Turn it on and it starts recording. I think there is an on/off in the menus but I'm not sure. Dunno why they don't offer that as an option on other drones.
