    File naming ends with S, T or V

    This is just a guess: S = spliced or screen (as in what was visible on the controller’s screen during recording) T = Thermal V = Video

    File naming ends with S, T or V

    Which version of the Mavic 3 are you flying? I know my Matrice 300 with H20T payload would save 3 images each time as well. T W and Z were the labels. T = thermal, W = wide angle lens, Z = zoom lens. If you’re running the the enterprise version with thermal, that’s what T would stand for. If...

    I will NEVER order from DJI again.

    Sorry to hear of your unpleasant situation with DJI. I’ve ordered a M2Z, Mini 2, DJI FPV, M3C and M3P as well as several extra batteries and accessories directly from DJI and all arrived here in rural Alberta in 10 days or less.

    Does the Mavic 3 sink or float?

    Depth and current is likely why the diver is asking how quickly it will sink, so that he can gauge how far it may travel downstream from the point of entry.

    Mini 3 Admitted to Hospital for 87 days - flew my Mini 3 in the city as much as I could. I captured amazing footage of Vancouver no human has taken before

    I hope you’re feeling better! I really enjoyed your video. Very nicely put together. Excellent work!

    A $25,000 maximum fine for flying without permission in a Canadian national parks but...

    I’m not sure about the basic exam, but there was a question on the advanced exam about the distance you need to maintain between your flight area and a wild fire (5NM)

    My 3D scanner is arriving any day now. This is something to put on my scan list!

    How do you handle people who tell you you're not allowed to fly your drone, when you know it's allowed?

    I made an info sheet in photoshop and had a bunch of copies printed at a local print shop. I made my own A-frame signs with a warning not to disrupt the ongoing flight and a pocket to place the info sheets. When I flew, I had pylons around the perimeter of my takeoff/landing zone with a A-frame...

    How to prepare to Small Advanced Exam

    Don’s videos are a great resource. I took the test without any study, as I like to challenge myself 😅 I passed by the skin of my teeth, at 80% on the nose! I quickly realized how much more I had to learn so I did the ground school program online at coastal drone Drone Certification | Learn To...

    I Shot A Buck Tonight (with my M3)

    I agree in that instance. It used to be like that with ATVs here. If you were scouting before noon, leave the guns behind or risk losing both. I think I’ve come across this as well. I’ve also seen several videos of people hunting wild boar with semi automatic rifles and IR scopes. Very interesting.

    I Shot A Buck Tonight (with my M3)

    Not sure what the rules are in Ontario, but, IIRC, here it’s a 24 hour buffer. You can scout an area from the air and hunt there 24 hours later. If the animal hasn’t been spooked it’s likely to still be nearby.
