Thank you so much.

A few humans got a shock but the thing is so quiet they hardly noticed it.

Bueng Khong Long lake Thailand

Very dramatic towerlike limestone karst formations. For some details on what you need to fly in Thailand see the entry in the General Discussions. The video was taken in January, or thereabouts, but I did not finish the video until yesterday. Samsung 23 Ultra, DJI Mini 4 Pro, 60fps 4K, 60fps 4K...

In Thailand, you need four documents one from CAAT and one the NTCB. Then you need a copy of your passport and finally proof that your drone is insured. You can find people to do this or you can do it yourself. I find it way too complicated so I get an agent, in my case with the MP4 when I...

So much because they want you to fly, everywhere. The more tourists the better for them.

Sorry to sound dumb but can you explain the set up?

Vang Vieng in Laos is the most tolerant, drone flying place in Asia I have ever been to. If you are in the area you will find, after being polite and asking, you will always be allowed to fly. Truly amazing. Loads of things to do including a wild disco bar where the locals and tourists go wild...

Oh, I would so much like to do this. I know it is being asked on many channels and here, but does anyone know when DJI will do this? I would not like loads of addons just a software enablement. If you have not tried goggles with your drone camera or FPV, try it, so much more enjoyable. The best...

As some have said, I used an elastic band, but it takes time. I now use nothing, just take it out slowly, much quicker than using anything. Never had a problem.

You will be surprised as to how good the camera is, just leave everything on auto and don't use the night mode. But you can experiment.

For a tiny drone and a tiny camera at night this is amazing. No setting changes, out of the box, auto focus, auto light, no night mode, (horrible for changing light conditions.)Somewhere in Asia, don't speculate, or comment on the location please.

As far as I can make out these wild elephants are protected in a local, large, national park. However, in search of more diverse food they wander out into residential areas where they are scared away by local farmers for eating their crops and more importantly because they are terrified of them...

I just turn up at a national park and register with my 4 documents and away you go. No charge but you do need to fill in a single paged doc with simple details and sign. Don't take all signs literally because the law allowing to fly in the national parks was only made mid way through 2023. I...

That is awesome news if you come on a holiday. I now live here and as I mentioned you need a licence for one drone. I fly an Avata along with my registered Mini 4 Pro and then never check the type of drone so I fly both. As well as the copy of your passport you need the CAAT and NBCT docs but...
