    Question for you AIR 3 strobe users

    Yes - doesn’t everyone (sarcasm)? Lighting and apparently iPad camera quality.

    Air 3 Late Fall in Southern NJ

    Captured by my Air 3 using the 70mm zoom, and negative ev of -1.7. Late afternoon approximately 20 minutes before sunset, captured a scenic view flying along the Rancocas Creek near my home in Southern NJ. Would make a nice scene for a painting if I knew how to paint, but since I don’t, I did...

    Super Blue Moon Wednesday evening!

    Using my Air 3 last weekend. 15-20 min after sunset using 70mm zoom, locked ISO at 100 and auto shutter and -2 ev. Still capture some fine detail of the moon - better than most I’ve found.

    Air 3 Full moon rising - Brigantine Island, NJ

    Same shot but from the 24mm (non-zoom) camera. ISO locked at 100, shutter in auto and -2.3 ev. I prefer the 70mm 3x zoom in prior pics personally, but this is a decent capture as well I think, just a bit more noise and a little less detail in the moon itself.

    Mini 2 There I am flying my drone, and this happens...

    A long, long time ago when flying my DJI Spark, found myself in a similar situation. Watch til the end as I slow down the video you really see how close they came.

    Air 3 Full moon rising - Brigantine Island, NJ

    I manually locked the ISO to 100 (to minimize the noise) and left the shutter on Auto. I also messed with the EV setting anywhere from -1.3 to -2.0. You can see the difference below between the two.

    Discharging batteries into a power bank

    Is the port you’re using an in/out port (same port for both in and out)? My 100 watt port is both - others are just out. The in/out port routes the charge from A3 batts to the power bank. Got this for $45 on Prime Days sale, but thinking I’ll be returning it if can’t use to fast charge A3...

    Discharging batteries into a power bank

    I just purchased a power bank hoping to use when out to recharge A3 batteries. Found that when I plug the charge hub holding my batteries to the power bank USB- C in/out port that can charge up to 100w on the power bank, it is taking charge from the batteries to the power bank and not from the...

    Cheap fast charger with 4 ports

    Ok but only need 1 used for 100 watt for batts then the remote can charge at either the 20 watt or 45 watt.

    Strobe Placement

    I use 2 Strobon Cree lights I’ve had for years and can easily see 3+ miles out. I use Scotch 3m 5lb fasteners , which I find to be more secure than Velcro. I place one on top of the drone (slightly behind the DJI insignia). I place the second right on the SD card rubber cover on the...
