    Real Estate Commercials

    Thanks again everyone for the input. Feel free to take a look at my second revision.

    Real Estate Commercials

    Awesome video! Those are some truly beautiful properties. Wish I had some stuff like that in my area to video. Agree on mixing up the content a bit. I recently got an Osmo that I'd like to try and use to incorporate a better mix of drone and on foot video.

    Very cool. The only thing I didn't care for were the two shots where the footage is greatly sped up. The changes in altitude are really evident at this speed. It's a cool shot that I'd like to incorporate, but I've been struggling with myself for reasons above. Hard to make it look smooth.

    My Mavic Was Shot Out of the Sky

    Well spoken. I don't believe there's a member of the non-drone owning public that would consider this situation any way similar to pulling out a rifle and firing at a news helicopter or 767.

    Much appreciated. I agree that it's pretty hard to create a narrative when you're looking at an empty 25 acre commercial plot of dirt. The second video tells a better story in my opinion considering it's near wildlife management areas, has a building site already cleared, etc.

    Sandisk Extreme...never again

    Just realized all my existing cards are the Sandisk Ultra. Red & grey in color. I'm getting reported read speeds of 44.9MB/s in Blackmagic and 44MB/s in AJA reading a 1GB 4096x3112 4K test file. Sandisk lists this card as read speeds "up too" 80MB/s. So would this card be considered defective...

    Aerial Neighborhood Watch - A reason to fly locally

    So your plan is go to rogue and simply start recording random teenagers whom you believe are up too no good? Then show the neighborhood your handy work and volunteer to fly over their houses and look for suspicious characters? Yeah, that will be received well I'm sure.

    That shot at around 19 seconds was awesome! I would have had no idea that house was anywhere near the mountains until you did that reveal!

    Real Estate Commercials

    Thanks to all so far. I'm in agreement on the text. Part of me was slightly enamored with learning the workings of Final Cut Pro X, so I added some liberties I wouldn't normally put in a client video (3D Shadowed Text) for the purposes of gaining experience using the software. Apple seems to...

    Real Estate Commercials

    Hello All, I've found my Mavic useful enough in my trade as the owner of a home inspection business that I've used some of my free time to shoot property for local real estate professionals whom are friends. Before releasing them in final form to the agents for feedback, I thought I'd offer a...

    Filming Fireworks on the 4th?

    For as valuable as the content is on this forum, I can't say I've been on a forum that's as negative regarding self-policing as this one. Imagine if every post one put up showing off a new mod on a Corvette forum was met with, "Way to go, now you've made your car faster. What's the point? The...

    My Mavic Was Shot Out of the Sky

    Wow. The guy's going to get away with shooting down a drone because this video plays directly into the hands of the fear mongering people that claim drones are spying on people. You can clearly see the guy throwing rocks, and motioning his hands signaling you to come closer. As far as he's...

    Trouble Unlocking Authorized Zones

    Looks like using my cellular device is going to be the best move going forward. Brought the issue up with DJI chat support and there's definitely a language barrier at play. The kept insisting that I couldn't unlock anything without emailing [email protected], regardless of how many times I...

    Trouble Unlocking Authorized Zones

    This is exactly what I experienced. My situation was actually made worse by disabling GEO as it extended the NFZ.

    Stop buying dji products

    Let us know how that works out: "DJI also fetched 66 percent of the North American market for drones priced between $1,000 and $2,000, and 67 percent of the market in the $2,000-$4,000 range, according to Snow. Across all prices in North America, DJI represented 50 percent of the market, Snow...
