    5 more cinematic drone moves

    I'm travelling in that area in about three months, but the effort and cost to get a license to fly my drone look like too much effort.

    Phone GPS and RTH Questions

    Under controlled conditions, I sometimes need to move inside a vehicle and fly my drone to get footage. It is very important to update the drone's home point from time to time to prevent it from flying back to the original home point. A bit of a pain if you are 7km down the road...

    From a BOAT??? Oh my, I was not thinking!!

    A few weeks ago I received permission to fly over a big 5 game park in South Africa, and I bumped into the same issue flying while I was on the back of a game viewing vehicle.

    Time lapse of rowing camp boat packing

    Hi Jake, if I remember it was about 17 minutes, 1 shot every 3 seconds. Looking at it, maybe 1 shot every 2 seconds would have looked better.

    DJI Go4 Shutdown mid flight?

    I've seen it a few times in past 4 months. Small cable completely removed, using a 50cm USB cable with converter at the end to lightning. I'm almost sure my disconnects source are cable related. I've fixed it every time except once by plugging the cable out of my tab, back in, then restart...
