    What are the rules on flying near birds of prey?

    yes it is and the pilot is a jerk there are more than enough video and photo opportunities without harassing wildflife

    3 Exploring Iceland - South West

    yet another place to add to my bucket list sadly, at my age, the bucket list has a lot more entries on it than energy behind it

    How is it possible?

    yeah....my first thought was that the guy was just a good pilot who had a clear line of sight and flew the drone in reverse there are also several apps that will reverse a video

    Artifacts From Increasing Video Speed

    I have a fairly robust GPU but reading about OF it sounds like I probably don't have the kind of system that would be effective

    Artifacts From Increasing Video Speed

    reading about it...that may very well be the issue.. I'll have to study up to make sure my shutter speed on my Mavic 3 is twice the frame rate

    Artifacts From Increasing Video Speed

    I only have the free version of Resolve....and I though OF was used in slow motion...? I'm editing for increasing speed

    Artifacts From Increasing Video Speed

    a lot of my videos are landscape, usually shot from 250-350 feet above the landscape and looping around home point at max VLOS (maybe a bit further when is very remote areas) what that creates are 12-20 minute videos that would be fairly boring. But much more interesting after chopping out the...

    Is there a better alternative to DJI?

    a lot of people are not interested, at all, in FPV & racing drones. I'm sure not interested. I'd say the majority of posters & lurkers here are not. They are looking for a more controlled experience with various video and photo options. Drones that have a main purpose as a camera platform, not...

    Mini comparisons

    people can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming that drone technology has advanced at a much faster rate than camera technology. Meaning that the cameras on 3-5 year old drones are probably pretty close to the level and quality of a camera on a similar class of new drone but the drones are...

    Which mobile device are you flying with? (September 2023)

    it's certainly an important feature for me, even though I have the 1200 nit Tripltek 8.0 but another important factor is the screen size. The Tripltek's screen is 2.3 times larger than the DJI RC and DJI RC Pro. And twice as big as most phones. That doubling of screen size coupled with the...

    Truck has 120v outlet

    I'd be extremely cautious about any 12v-->120v conversion done in a car/truck; especially when considering plugging in expensive and sensitive electronics. In fact, I wouldn't do it unless I had a quality sine wave inverter between the power and the electronics I'd stick with the 12v supply and...

    New to hobby and wanting to upgrade, suggestions?

    If you want to "end up" with the Mavic 3 Pro, I'm not sure spending $400-800 for a Min2/Mini3 FMC as an intermediate step is getting the best bang for your buck....unless you want to have both a Mini3 and a Mavic3, for instance now, if you're looking to save money on a used/refurbished drone...
