    M3E- Waypoints/ POI - No gimbal pitch option?

    waypoints in the M3E are NOT user friendly. Too bad, it would have been an easy fix for them.

    M3E- Waypoints/ POI - No gimbal pitch option?

    Greetings, I am attempting to create a "Flight route" in Pilot 2. My goal is a repeatable video fly-around of a site for a progression time-lapse. So far I have been able to: Program the waypoints - They SAVE fine. Set the "Yaw" to the POI - which it flies smoothly and flawlessly. FWIW: You...

    Air 2s A few moments over Newport, Oregon's Yaquina Bay.

    Thanks for the comments. Check with AIrMap for the exact boundaries, but Newport IS class "E" airspace. That campground may be just inside the No-Fly zone. However, there are many places to launch around the Bay with LAANC instant authorization available to 100' in most areas. Happy flying. If...

    Air 2s A few moments over Newport, Oregon's Yaquina Bay.

    Having grown up in Southern California, other than the occasional Santana winds, I never gave much thought to "Wind". Now that I live on the Oregon Coast, I feel like I'm part meteorologist, part photographer. I love seeing the patterns the winds make on the Bay waters. Cheers!

    Quoting the American Photographer, Joel Meyerowitz; "I've been to the Bay a thousand times, but it only looked like this once!". Enjoy a few moments of "Calm Waters" in Newport, Oregon's, Yaquina Bay. Filmed with the DJI Mavic Air2s, this footage emphasizes the dynamic range of 4K D-log footage...

    LAANC under Section 44809 Recreational

    Per Vic's reply. When you set up your account, you will identify yourself, your drone, and the pertinent information. In my case, I had to supply my 107 cert. So they may ask for a Trust cert. for Rec. but that's no big deal. They WILL ask for your drone registration info. Other than that, you...

    LAANC under Section 44809 Recreational

    LAANC providers will text and email you a copy of your authorization. Just keep it with you in case you are questioned by the "Administrator" or State/ Local law enforcement. Cheers

    Air 2s 1st Night shots with the Air2s; Newport, Oregon

    There has been a limited amount of growth here. For the most part, the Bayfront, Art-deco district, and Nye Beach are mostly unchanged. I have no real complaints about the Air2s. Would like to eventually upgrade to something with an actual optical zoom and adjustable aperture. But for now, the...

    Air 2s 1st Night shots with the Air2s; Newport, Oregon

    Yeah! We've figured out how to use back streets to avoid 101 during summer. It's a minor inconvenience, the place is ALL OURS during the off-season. Aside from the traffic, we appreciate the tourists bringing their hard-earned dollars to our little fishing village. For the most part, our...

    Thanks! During "Season" we try to avoid that intersection as much as possible.

    Thanks for the input. The best part was, the drone wasn't attacked by seagulls this week!
