I have a DJI Mavic 3 Cine Premium Combo which has the DJI RC Pro controller. I want to do a particular hyperlapse. The central subject is a building and behind it the sun will be rising. I want to start the drone off at some height -- perhaps 6' to make it what a person would see -- and then...

I tend to reformat rather than delete files on all of my camera and video equipment. It just seems easier and safer. I didn’t know the problem about ProRes. I was considering using a micro SD card but now I’ll stick to the internal SSD.

I was transferring files from my Mavic 3 Cine to my M1 MBP and the speeds were 40 MB/s. It took a half hour to transfer a file. I tried the same cable on two different ports. One was on the laptop itself and the other was a port on my USB attached 4K display (which is now several years old)...

Yea. That’s a valid thought. I don’t know what they are going to put up. If it another track of houses, then I should be ok. I’m actually up higher than it appears. I should easily clear a one or two story building. Clearly I don’t know what I’m doing but that’s why I’m doing it. Figure...

For anyone who is curious, this is the first pass. As the description says, I hope to make passes perhaps every two weeks until the project is done and then somehow blend them together. I'm not sure exactly how I will do the blending. I decided to make the passes at the same time according to...

I’m surprised the drone just stops rather than figuring out how to go around the obstacle. In this case, I want to fly the same route around a construction site from the start of the project until the end making maybe 8 to 16 flights. Then tape them together so that during the fly the time...

Has anyone heard any gossip about an update to the Mavic (full size) series? The Mavic 3 Pro came out April of 2023 so it’s been more than a year. The Avata 2 has the O4 air unit. Seems like it is time to update the Mavic series.

It is still frustrating. I created a route with 36 ways points. I know that the Mavic isn’t as precise as the Inspire but I wanted to fly about 40 feet off the ground to make the video more interesting. I created the route by flying it and adding waypoints via C1. But I’ve yet to...

There is a large construction site that is roughly a rectangle. Using the “Create waypoints as you fly” method, I flew to one corner and set a way point, fly to the next corner, set a waypoint (using C1 each time). Rinse and repeat so I had 5 waypoints (1 and 5 roughly on top of each other)...

I spent four days in the Big Thicket which is a national preserve in east Texas spread out over a huge area. This is some simple drone footage I did with a DJI Mavic 3 Cine.

I was going to go scout out the Tesla mega plant here near Austin so the drone would be rather far away.

I have a Mavic 3 Cine and I was thinking about taking it out this morning but the wind is 13 mph with gusts up to 28 mph. I think I’m going to stay home but I’m wondering what others think.

Thank you. I videoed the port in Brownsville, TX about 6 months ago. It also had stacks of wind turbine blades stacked up. The thing that confused me about the VW plant is why do they have so many cars already produced just sitting waiting to be shipped out? I saw trucks leaving with cars...

Two of the videos I flew around the port that is in Emden and one is of the Volkswagen plant that is up there. I tended to get nervous so the flights are short and very conservative. The drone is a Mini 3 Pro

I was in the south western part: Baden-Württemberg — which is west of Bavaria. I was in Bavaria too for 5 days but was too scared to fly. I wanted to fly through the streets with all of the colorful houses and buildings but didn’t. To do it legally you need to register and take a small test...
