    2 Pro First try at Light Painting

    Yes I used your wonderful utility and yes I made my one POI where I had the land camera located. I have cleaned up some of the waypoints that looked out of place and will try again tonight. Want to get it right before the new moon so I will have total darkness over a lake.

    Thanks, there were 84 waypoints and they were rotated with Litchi Waypoint Utilities.

    Light Painting - On Board Waypoints vs Virtual Sticks

    Yes there is a lot of trial and error involved. After my first semi successful mission my mind is racing with ideas.

    Light Painting - On Board Waypoints vs Virtual Sticks

    I used my Mavic 2 Pro & Mini 3 Pro. The better ones are with the M2P as I had a spot light on it and it made the outline thicker.

    Light Painting - On Board Waypoints vs Virtual Sticks

    Thanks for you advice the other day. It help me tremendously. I attached two more photos. The first one I thought was too under exposed but a little adjustment in post and you see what’s hiding underneath.

    2 Pro First try at Light Painting

    Hi, This is my first try at Light Painting. As usual it’s hard to plan for everything on your first try. But all in all I was happy with the results. There are a few changes to make before my next outing. 1) turn off or cover the nav lights on the front legs as you can see them blinking in the...

    Light Painting - On Board Waypoints vs Virtual Sticks

    I have strobes for my drones that I mount on the nose with the drone pointing at the POI. But have ordered a light for my Mavic 2 Pro that will work with my Mavic 3 Pro as well. I’m going to try and use the landing lights and see what effect it will have. This is what I ordered. Not sure how I...

    Light Painting - On Board Waypoints vs Virtual Sticks

    Yes I’m using litchi and the Grizzly 84 WP’s and the Eagle is 110. I’ve also converted the mission's to run on my Mavic 3 Pro thanks to DJI Wes’ work. By the way they run great on my Mavic 3 Pro after conversion.

    Light Painting - On Board Waypoints vs Virtual Sticks

    Hi, looks like I’m in the ballpark as my speed is also set to 5 kph and the Grizzly mission is similar at 4 minutes. I’m using a Canon 80D with a 24mm prime lens. The lake I have chosen is secluded and there will be no lights in the background but I will undoubtedly be getting some star trails...

    Light Painting - On Board Waypoints vs Virtual Sticks

    Hi, thank you for detailed response. The info is very helpful but one last question is how long was this mission flight time and at what speed was the drone flying. My Grizzly mission is about 4 minutes and the Eagle is about 7 minutes. I’m hoping that they are not too long. Russ

    Light Painting - On Board Waypoints vs Virtual Sticks

    Hi, I’m in the process of trying several of my light painting missions. They are all setup and I’ve run them during the day to make sure they will do what I want. I was able to run them on all four of my drones with no issues. Now I need a moon less night to try them out. I have a grizzly and an...

    Can’t take photos using button on the front of the smart controller but can with the button on the screen. Has anyone experienced this.

    Hi, thanks for the reply and also the link did work fine. I think I’m going to re flash the software, controller and the aircraft and see if that works. I’ve been working on some light painting projects lately and have reprogrammed some of the buttons to control the landing lights while in...
