    What is “too windy” for you?

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

    What is “too windy” for you?

    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.

    Mini 3 Various drone videos taken in August while in Emden Germany

    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...

    Mini 3 Various drone videos taken in August while in Emden Germany

    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

    Mini 3 Scenic Valleys in Germany via DJI 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...

    Mini 3 Scenic Valleys in Germany via DJI Mini 3 Pro

    Thank you. I went to Cologne and have tons of stuff with the cathedral but I was too afraid to do any drone videos. The details on the cathedral are endless. And… they were still working on it when I was there. It’s probably never ending. I plan to do a video (slide show type thing) on the...

    Mini 3 Scenic Valleys in Germany via DJI Mini 3 Pro

    I took a trip to Germany for the month of August 2023. I have tons of DJI Pocket and DJI Mini 3 Pro footage as well as VR footage of the cathedral in Cologne, still images, etc. This is the first of what will probably be a lot of various videos and slide shows from all of what I gathered over...

    File name wrangling...

    At this point, I have at least 3 DJI products and all of them appear to insist on naming the files DJI_0001.MP4, etc. It seems that if you don't reformat the card but just delete the files, somehow the numbering continues. I have not tested this out yet but that still doesn't get me all the...

    Can I fly a USA Mavic 3 Cine in Germany

    I'm currently in the "let's see if I can do this" stage of planning a trip to Germany for a month. Should I take my Mavic 3 Cine with me? Is there a place where I can learn the German regulations?

    Mav3 and Mini 3 can now fly FPV

    What??? This is what I'm trying to figure out. I have a Mav 3 Cine and DJI Goggles 2 (that came with the Avata). I can't get them to work. I'm guessing you saw some update somewhere?

    Other Drone Pilots Media network sites

    Sorry for the noise... I didn't see a better place to ask this question. This site is part of the Drone Pilots Media network and I'm wanting to log in and post in the FPV forum. I tried my existing id/password and it didn't work. I thought perhaps this would be like StackExchange where there...

    Part 107 sanity check

    I found the Title 14, Chapter I, Subchapter F, Part 107 page on the FAA web site and it produced a 25 page PDF -- which is far less than I expected. I figured it would be hundreds if not thousands of pages. I assume if I read it and comprehended it, I could pass the exam. Or... I could take a...

    DJI Avata on Pre Order in Australia

    So many toys... so little money... The Mini 3 looks interesting too since people say it is really quiet.

    Greeting from New Braunsfels Texas

    Hi Guys, I'm recently retired from programming. My first drone was a DJI Inspire 1. I've had probably 3 other DJI drones and I'm now using a DJI Mavic 3 Cine. I also do photography and videography. Right now, all of it is just for fun but I'd like to be able to post things on YouTube for...
