That's how I read the reg, yes.

The issue here was Cat 1 ops over people, to which 250g is very much relevant. § 107.110 Category 1 operations. To conduct Category 1 operations— (a) A remote pilot in command must use a small unmanned aircraft that— (1) Weighs 0.55 pounds or less on takeoff and throughout the duration of...

Those almost certainly would push the weight over 250g.

Came here to say this. An interesting thing, and not something that I really care about in terms of regulation-scolding, but it doesn't even seem like review sites (dronedj, cnet, pcmag, etc...) could review it and remain compliant with FAA regulations (I'm sure a lot of the reviewers don't...

Yeah, the movement for most of those shots is way too fast for a drone and much of it is in the DCA flightpath, which suggests to me this is helicopter footage (DC is constantly buzzing with helicopters). The opening shot, for example, doesn't appear to sped up in any meaningful way and is...

Washington DC, just so I could actually fly from my backyard.

I wouldn't even get the Mini4 right now I'd get the Mini3 without hestitation. I suspect that the Mini5 will have "upgrades" like better obstacle avoidance and maybe "smarter" object tracking and things like that...maybe some new variation of the existing sensor. But as others have said the...

Yes, pushing to the right of the histogram means making things more bright (if the bulk of the histogram is to the right that means the image is brigher, and to the left is darker). So a "stop" is essentially a unit to describe how much light is being let in to the sensor. It's very fundamental...

Generally yes. If the footage looks good in your goggles, the LOG footage will look good as well once you grade it. That said, I would suggest erring on the side of a bright image in your goggles (or put another way, expose to the right of the histogram). The issue is that LOG footage has a...

Admittedly only speaking from experience with the Avata 1, the image in the goggles is essentially a "natural live view" without the LOG profile (similarly it doesn't apply RockSteady to the goggle feed either). So you'll get a "normal" view in your goggles, while the footage you pull off the...

And the video is getting brighter or darker as you change the settings, without the histogram changing? I can't imagine the image getting brighter or darker without the histogram also moving unless something like auto ISO was engaged and compensating to keep the exposure "correct" even as you...

What does the video look like when you view it on your computer? Is it actually overexposed? Also, does the histogram move to the right or left as you change exposure parameters are are you just comparing it to the EV number?

Sensor size is mostly irrelevant in this discussion and the M2Pro and Pocket 3 are separated by 5 years of technological improvements. Are you trying to match the footage or just figure out a workflow for the Pocket 3. Are you shooting DLOG-M? 10-bit?

I mean, a mirrorless camera with a fast lens on a gimbal is probably the best solution for real estate videography and I would say that a DJI drone is a poor choice for the task for a multitude of reasons (small sensors, mostly fixed aperture lenses, fixed focal lengths to name a few). But I...

The what in the where now?
