    Remote ID for Mini 2 in Japan

    It's been a while, but my recollection is that it simply opened up those portions of the menu that weren't available previously. I didn't take any screenshots unfortunately and I'm not currently in Japan to test it.

    Auto exposure gives better highlights and shadow details in high ISO than manual at lower ISO

    I didn't know that was a thing (mini 2). I'll look into it. Thank you.

    I don't want my exposure changing in auto exposure mode mid shot. Thus I always record video in manual exposure. The rest is academic to me.

    best airline to take a drone on?

    I've been traveling all over the U.S., Europe, and Asia since 2019. I've never had a problem anywhere on any airline. Don't have lithium batteries in your checked luggage and you'll be fine.

    Remote ID for Mini 2 in Japan

    I don't remember the process exactly I'm afraid (October of 2022). I did it once I was in Japan and it was pretty painless and it didn't require a Japanese phone# or anything. You could always try before you leave on the trip. If I recall correctly the registration is good for 5 years.

    Remote ID for Mini 2 in Japan

    I've traveled to Japan with my Mini2 many times since Japan reopened for travelers. Believe it or not, Remote ID just works in Japan on the Mini2. Based on the location, DJI opens it up for you. There's no need to buy a transponder. Unfortunately there's no way to test it before you go because...

    Vietnam Drone Rules In Practice

    I can't promote our YouTube travel channel here, nor our Singapore videos with drone footage, but you might be able to figure it out. ;)

    Vietnam Drone Rules In Practice

    I have lots of experience flying a sub 250 gram drone (DJI Mini 2) in Singapore. It is possible, but there are lots of airports and military facilities. It is difficult but it can be done. I'm not familiar with requirements for heavier drones. Singapore's requirements are pretty easy to figure...

    3 Tua Pek Kong Temple (Malaysia)

    Thank you for your wonderful videos. As someone who will be traveling to Malaysia this summer shooting some vlogs, this is very helpful to get a feel for the landscape. I am also trying to understand how the drone laws work in practice in Malaysia. The rules appear to be very restrictive as I am...

    Best Software to Edit Drone Footage? Also what one allows ya to blur stuff out?

    Davinci Resolve Free will do all the basic and many of the advanced things you need to get started. If you run into limitations you can buy the Studio (paid) version. Most casual users will never need the Studio version since the list of limited features is quite small. Try it for free and see...

    DaVinci Resolve 18 - Jumpy video in 4k 29fps - what am I doing wrong?

    I had the same problem editing 4K footage at 59.94 (60fps) on my first install of v18. I normally edit my timeline in HD (and later use 4K for rendering) but even that didn't help at all. Black Magic just released 18.0.2 Build 7. I installed it and immediately all the problems I was having are...

    Part 107 sanity check

    This prep course/video by Tony Northrup is highly underrated and it is FREE. I watched it, took some notes, studied the materials a little and passed on my first try. FREE Drone Certification Study Guide: FAA Part 107 sUAS Test

    Any Free Video Editing sofeware out there without....

    What feature of Davinci Resolve are you using that isn't available on the free version? I've been using Davinci Resolve for about a year on a travel vlog I run. The only Studio features I regularly use are: - Faster rendering using the GPU - Faster-Better frame interpolation (when you slow...
