Getting up at 4.30am to travel to where I could capture the arrival of the Bass Strait ferry, Spirit of Tasmania. I had two attempts as the first time I had a temporary technical problem. The weather on the second day was quite different so I had to do a bit of colour grading, can you tell?

I used an orange set on my Air2S when it was attacked by two eagles. I got video of it being struck at least three times and carried a short distance. I managed to get away and land. I was amazed that it still flew as the some props had huge pieces missing. Yes the props seem more brittle but I...

No, the unfortunate land owner has a lot of cleaning up to do. He lost a shed but not his house.

I’m pretty sure they weren’t damaged, you can see them fly away below me.

On recent flight with the Air2S to document a landslip, the drone was attacked by a pair of Wedge Tailed eagles. At one stage the drone was nearly upside down. As soon as I realized what was happening, I headed for home base but was struck a few times again. As I returned, the pair of eagles...

Here is my last flight with the Mini 3 Pro which I have since returned because of "jello". On this flight it wasn't as bad as a previous flight and I have edited most of it out. You can still see some if you look closely. Looks like I wont get a replacement in time for my next trip, might have...

Thanks, yes I’ve returned it to the store.

Has anyone flown their mini 3 in bright sunlight without nd filters and high shutter speeds without getting jello effects?

No I got the same problem in all modes.

I just flew my mini 3 pro for the first time and was bitterly disappointed at the severe jello effect in the video, something I haven’t had with any of my other 4 DJI drones. I experimented later in low light and set lower shutter speeds without using nd filters and the jello disappeared. It...

Is there a technical reason why I can’t use th RC Pro controller with the Mini 3 Pro. Will DJI make them compatible like they did with the Air2S?

My biggest disappointment is the lack of a true wide angle lens, ie, an 35 mm equivalent of 14mm. With two lenses this would have been easy to do. The telephoto lens is a bit of a waste of space. I was hoping for something with a big sensor, 5.8k video and the ability to shoot footage like the...

I have only used the Ulanzi lens a few times and had no gimbal drop problem yet. I was flying fairly slowly.

On a perfect Autumn day I flew around the Nut at Stanley. I noticed a runabout heading back around the Nut and decided to see if I could catch it to add a bit of depth to the video. Usually you get a notice if the signal strength starts to weaken, but this time as I rounded the Nut signal was...

Here is another test flight, better light and keeping the gimbal level.
