Light Painting

[RAC DJI]

Here’s a light painting mission from last night. Done with the Mavic 3Pro.

Awesome!! How did you achieve this, build in waypoints?
How did you control the lighting?

Yes, it starts out as a Litchi waypoint mission and with the help of Wes Barris’s Litchi Utilities. The mission gets rotated from horizontal to vertical. The light is constantly on and the drone is programmed to turn away from the camera when you don’t want to see the light trails between segments. You can find all the info and utilities at this website. Litchiutilities.com

Fantastic! Great job. I don't know if I have the patience for that, or the drawing ability, but I love what you've done.

Yes, this is really cool stuff.

If anybody wants to see more of this stuff.

Take a look.

New use for old drone

My Phantom 3 Standard is over 7 years old and is still flying. I don't use it anymore for photography/video but I do use it for light painting. Thanks to Litchi and to @DJ Wes's Mission Utilities I can use this old drone to fly Light Painting Missions. I use cube lights that are attached to the...

Actually there’s no drawing needed. You select a suitable piece of clip art and use the utility “SVG Converter” on the website Litchiutilities.com to convert it to a CVS file that’s recognized by Litchi’s waypoint mission planner.

Awsome sky background, something I'd like to try with my old Phantoms. I'd probably need a better camera for the photo though.

Fantastic!!

Thanks. I like the challenge of getting everything just right. Lots of fun also.

The reflection on the lake is tremendous. The program may have generated the flight but your composition makes it art.

What light did you use?

What light did you use?

This is the light I use. I bought it when I was using my Mavic 2 Pro for light painting. Now that I’ve switched to using my Mavic 3 Pro I use the same light and bought a GoPro harness for the Mavic 3 Pro. Works great.

On the Phantom thread he shared how he saved the shot from a camera that was oblivious on the ground.
