Thanks for the kind words! Vettes - I've been accused of a lot of things in my life but talented is not one of them! Chris

Thank you!

Looks like I missed this - Thanks for the detailed response! Chris

I 3D printed a mount and attached an Android smart phone with a Flir 1 attached. It worked fine to review footage after landing. Tried a few mods to view real-time including mounting the phone directly beneath the camera on my Mavic. With the camera pointed straight down you could watch video on...

Thank you! Chris

Great feedback; I noticed the same thing and it's rather annoying. If you lock the aperture AND shutter speed manually, how do you keep proper exposure when transitioning from darker shots to brighter ones in one video? Auto ISO adjustments? Thanks, Chris

FrankO- I had a private tour guide for that exact reason. I had to get creative with launching/landings as a few areas had other tourists. Chris

Thanks! That's me. The building seemed pretty solid on the way up and down but who knows ;-) Chris

Thump- Thanks! I actually did use ND filters and manually set the shutter to 1/30 (4K 60 fps) to keep a more 'cinematic' look. I'm new to editing (and airborne videography, really) and 'sped up' many clips to 125-200% original speed in Adobe Premiere. I shot over an hour of footage from the...

Thanks for the positive feedback! Great video MAvic_South_Oz. I actually met, and spent some time with, someone who is a re-settler in the exclusion zone named Ivan Ivanovich. Chris

Msinger - Great advice! I should have thought of that as I have UV filters on my DSLR lens just like Cyborg suggests! Thanks guys, Chris

WOW! Thanks for the kind words. As GnirtS mentioned you can visit the exclusion zone on a group or private tour. Ukraine has allowed tours into the zone for quite a few years now and it's quite safe if you follow the rules (don't roll around in the mud for example). Drone On - I don't know...

All, I wanted to share a video I put together from my trip to Chernobyl this past July. It's seven minutes and shot with my Mavic 2 Pro. Amazing experience! I'm rather new to post processing video so ANY feedback and/or criticism would be greatly appreciated. Shot with a Mavic 2 Pro. Chris

Long time lurker, first time poster. Love the Forum! After a long day of wine tasting in Napa i decided on one last flight for the day. Shockingly.. drinking wine all day did not make me a better pilot! I put her in a tree and she dropped about 75 feet. Beyond scratches she was unharmed...
