Not sure what you are asking and why. Do you mean how far you are from the subject??? Look at altitude and then add some, depending on your angle from being directly over the subject. If a slow endeavor, have subject at home and add altitude to distance from home point for a better guess. Or, get your calculator and use geometry to be more exact.Is there an easy way to assess your proximity to subject from camera view..?
Not that I know of.., experience teaches, but just go slow as you approach closely.Is there an easy way to assess your proximity to subject from camera view..?
Then I know of no way to measure that. There is more expensive equipment that will, using an infrared beam, get a pretty close estimate. But it is probably too heavy to include in a drone package and would make it cost more.I suspect he asking if there's any way to have an instant idea how close we are to something we are flying towards. Because of the wideness of the lens it always looks like you are about ready to crash into something that is further away than it looks.
Hi! I have done a "scientific" calculation and even practised how to fly and pass narrow spaces like tree branches or openings.Is there an easy way to assess your proximity to subject from camera view..?
You have it the wrong way around.Because of the wideness of the lens it always looks like you are about ready to crash into something that is further away than it looks.
Meta! When you see this from your camerascreen from approx 130cm (1.3m) you can pass a 45cm (0.45m) wide gap! Try it yourself.You have it the wrong way around.
The wideangle lens makes things look further away that they really are.
The drone is much closer to obstacles than you think.

1/100 of a meter!? The way we measure in Europe. What Europe is? Use Google.What's a cm? ????
I find that staying well clear of obstacles is a very effective way to fly safely.Meta! When you see this from your camerascreen from approx 130cm (1.3m) you can pass a 45cm (0.45m) wide gap! Try it yourself.
Sure but if you want pics or videos that isn't boring mainstream you have to challenage your skills. Or when you have a demanding customer if you are in the commercial corner of dronephoto.I find that staying well clear of obstacles is a very effective way to fly safely.
You can't generalise like that.Sure but if you want pics or videos that isn't boring mainstream you have to challenage your skills. Or when you have a demanding customer if you are in the commercial corner of dronephoto.
Maybe you are right Meta, pls show us your pics /vids that are ommercially successful. ThanxYou can't generalise like that.
You can shoot plenty of totally non-boring images and commercially successful work without being in close to obstacles.
Here are a few examples:Maybe you are right Meta, pls show us your pics /vids that are ommercially successful. Thanx
I have to say, those were some inspiring photo's Meta 4. Thx for sharing.Here are a few examples:
