    Which Lens for Close-Up Details?

    in this case, the largest sensor, you cant defeat physics. Same reason a cell phone camera pic looks like crap compared to a dslr. larger pixel size equates to better light gathering and less diffraction, plus usually goes hand in hand with better optical elements being used as well.

    Air 2s Mysteries of Deer Herds at Dusk

    Theres a ton of deer near me i see all the time, in between them playing their favorite game, jumping in front of vehicles. Any time they hear my Air 3 they stop and stare, hopefully it saves a car or two and the deer as well.

    Is the Mini 3 Pro worth buying in 2024?

    IMO, no. Obstacle avoidance/collision detection in the M4Pro is more than worth it. I had a plain Mini 3 i got with Fly More stuff for $500 and sold it asap when the Air 3 launched. I'm selling the Air 3 soon but keeping the Mini 4 Pro as its MUCH smaller to fly in tight spots and obstacle...

    Active track with rc2 controller in a hard water proof case

    ive done exactly this and used a waterproof bag for cameras over the controller. Allows you to manipulate the aircraft if needed with no water incursion risks.

    How have M4P take off and land on your hand

    hand takeoff/landing is risky but sometimes needed. I had to hand launch and land a few times while balancing myself and my waterproof gear bag from a kayak. Now, being able to disable downward sensors its even easier. Its something to practice before you need to use it, as those rotors could...

    Air 3. With ND filter behaviour question.

    Swap filters (or adjust, in the case of the vari-ND) with the drone off.

    ...Well...

    Yeah, but they can be VERY quiet, and inside 100 yards, a brown bear in particular can take a hit or two and and still manage to get to you. Moose are unpredictable. I am Alaskan, just about any time we went out in the boonies, my folks had a 45-70 or a 12ga slamfire with a short barrel as...

    ...Well...

    They are EVERYWHERE around here, i cant help but find them in just about every bald spot or clearing, or even along railroad beds. Its not intentional. Never realized how many there are around here till i got a different perspective. As far as the drone, i replaced the two rubber gimbal...

    ...Well...

    Thank you. Ill figure it out later, edit loc data out, and post as CSV. Its flying fine after prop swaps and complete system testing in a nearby field, including obstacle/collision avoidance with large, dead trees and a large, flat colored hunting tree stand. My previous drone, a Mavic Pro...

    ...Well...

    I would prefer not to share location for privacy reasons. Log is fine, but i do not want to share my location data, ie no direct URL. I uploaded my log file, and attempted to download it, then attach it, as it appears to lack GPS/location data.

    ...Well...

    It was not, i could not get the downloaded/decrypted file to attach properly, so i tried google drive (which i despise).
  12. Xi Zhou

    ...Well...

    Sign in was not my intention for google drive (which i despise). I attempted to attach the decrypted log file but it is not showing up properly as an attachment, nor does it appear to be decrypted. Ill figure the log decryption/posting thing out later tonight and repost properly. Pulled them...

    ...Well...

    Downloaded txt and csv come out encrypted. Is there another free way to decrypt and share these?

    ...Well...

    I had collision avoidance on, and was barely moving forwards, at slow walking speed. Ill pull the logs in a few minutes and attach them.
