    Mini 4 The Confluence on a Cloudy Morning

    I mean, there's always some editing done because I shoot RAW. Both of these are HDR photos, and the top is a pano, so of course that post-processing work was done. The rest was just color and contrast tweaks to taste, with my normal post-processing workflow. I corrected verticals on the second...

    Case for Mini 4 Pro / RC2 with sticks attached?

    I think you might be better off with like a small sling bag meant for small camera kits - and just put the drone and controller in there. Probably more comfortable for motorcycle riding.

    Mini 4 The Confluence on a Cloudy Morning

    Here are two shots taken at the confluence of the Scioto and Olentangy Rivers in Columbus, OH - Taken with the Mini 4 Pro. The first shot is a 5 image manual panorama.

    Mini 4 Sunrise over Columbus

    Taking - I just fly looking for interesting compositions - I'm a photographer first and foremost, so my drones are just an extension of my camera into the sky, so I use the same general process when flying as I do when hiking and such. These were taken with 5 shot auto exposure bracketing, in...

    Are there flight restrictions being under 249gr

    I think it's more that DJI requires that you follow the law. Do you have your part 107?

    Mavic 4 Pro wrap around prop guards

    I actually like it. It took me a little while to get used to putting it on, but I've got it down pretty well now, and it allows me to use the small bag that comes with the Fly More kit without worrying about damaging the propellers...I wish my Air2S had come with it. I have a hard case on...

    First day with Mini 4 Pro. Returning it tomorrow.

    I have to think there was simply something defective or wrong with that one drone. I am looking over all the shots I took yesterday morning at the sunrise, and then the torture test, and while I can certainly get the drone to flare, it's nothing like what's seen in that video, no matter the...

    First day with Mini 4 Pro. Returning it tomorrow.

    Huh. I didn't have any flare issues this morning shooting the sunrise with my Mini 4 Pro. I'm not saying there is no flare...there definitely is (you can see the reddish blob to the lower left of the sun in the second shot), but I didn't have what was shown in that video, and this is quite a...

    Mini A couple of night photos with the Mini 4 Pro

    Just my standard RAW postproccessing in lightroom - these were a little dark, so I pushed shadows a bit and did some minor color tweaks. Because the pushed file had a bit of noise, I used Lightroom's new noise reduction. I do shoot in 12MP RAW most of the time, and did for this too. The 48MP...

    Case for Mini 4 Pro / RC2 with sticks attached?

    Thanks. I ordered this. Looks perfect, and small!

    Mini A couple of night photos with the Mini 4 Pro

    I took my new Mini 4 Pro out for some shots last night. I'm really liking this drone. With the plus batteries, flight times are fantastic, and the faster aperture helps at night. Biggest thing I'm noticing is that the lens on this is significantly sharper at the edges than my Air 2S. Getting...

    Mini 4 Pro with Extended Plus batteries is OVER 249g!

    I accidentally ordered the plus fly more when I intended to get the regular. I almost returned it and waited for the regular to come in stock. But then I realized I’d need to register mine anyway because I fly at night a fair bit and the required strobe would put me over 250g anyway. So I just...
