    3 Views above the Chicago Lakefront

    I flew shortly after sunrise. I had a previous video from the same morning where I flew inside the city right before sunrise.

    Yeah. I know. I live near NYC where the airspace is clear over Manhattan but they have ordinances in the city that make it prohibitive to fly. It was nice visiting Chicago to fly.

    Thanks. I have family in Ft Myers. Was looking forward to spending a week on Sanibel in November. But canceled the trip now. Looking forward to getting sometime soon as things get rebuilt.

    3 Chicago Riverwalk

    Controlled Airspace starts at 3,000ft MSL in downtown. The tallest buildings are 2,300ft MSL. I could have legally flown to the top (Part 107), but DJI had an altitude limit lock. I think I got up to about 500ft before the lock kicked in. I wasn't going to be bothered at the time unlocking it.

    Yeah, I live outside NYC. The airspace is all clear around lower Manhattan, but you can't legally take off our land in the city.

    With a 107 license, you can fly 400ft above any structure unless you are in controlled airspace. Otherwise, it is a 400ft limit just like everywhere else. To get non-grainy footage - 1) I’m using the Mavic 3. The larger sensor helps collect more light. This is the environment where the M3...

    Air 2s Isolated Abandoned House on Island

    Wind was not too bad. The hardest part of flying was that we took off from boat. Take off is easy, but landing is a different thing.

    Air 2s Isolated Abandoned House on Island

    In the Barnegat Bay of New Jersey, you will find an island that is populated by a whole bunch of birds and a single abandoned house. This island is commonly referred to as Hankins Island. However, the official name of it is Middle Sedge Island. In this video, I captured some aerial views of the...

    Air 2s Cape May, NJ Lighthouse

    Thanks. I believe it is the best value in the DJI lineup when you compare price and function. I do a lot of sunset and night work, so I value the Air 2s Camera over the Mini 3. The camera on the Mavic 3 is sure nice but it's hard to justify at twice the price. Maybe I will get the Mavic 3 if I...

    Air 2s Cape May, NJ Lighthouse

    I misspoke in my previous post. It was not active tracking but using spotlight. I guess they are similar as active track is for moving objects and spotlight for stationary.

    Air 2s Cape May, NJ Lighthouse

    Thank you. Yes, I filmed in Log and color graded. I did not use Mastershots. I tried it when I got my Air2s and don't think I have touched it since the first flight. What I did was to select the top of the lighthouse with the active track. I then pushed down on the left stick and to the right...
