Big Al. Thank you for this reply, welcome, and message u sent me. Great to meet some others who know more until I get to bsorb all the needed info to fly safe and within guidelines. Great to hear about night / after civil twilight option.
and the project is a “ city reel” I’m making for a Tesla toe friend as a favor and not to sell since I’m not yet under the 107 license exemption. But others want me in the same area to help and willing to pay so I’m trying to get prepped and tested as soon as able to.
of course, I was flying the new
DJI FPV quad just on Sunday at sundown in altitude zone and warning zone, and the university hospital life flight comes my way. I heard and saw it right as I was alerted on controller of nearby piloted aircraft approaching. So I quickly got to a safe altitude, but the sensors were not on in the mode I was in and I caught a tree limb and it fell to the pavement in a couple pieces. And my
Air 2 has a cracked arm so I’m “ grounded”. Sending in today for the “ care refresh “coverage to get replacements but hoping to get them soon to get them back.
I don’t fly the acrobatic manual mode in the FPV. Just no use for it in photos and videos unless you need a film to have the view ax if flying a fighter jet( that thing goes zero to 60 in 2 seconds snd 90 mph maxed out! So far 60 mph has been fine and in post I can speed up to look like higher speeds if I want. I love that FPV though!
I use it in short films as a 1st person shot like looking from that perspective and moving slowly at about eye level it can create very effective and professional looking videos.
recently my father passed away and he’s buried at a old pre civil war ( haunted) graveyard my family has a plot in behind a chapel in the country. It’s a national historic landmark and a beautiful peaceful place. I was making a video with the theme on life being so short and what we do when on earth walking from the cradle to th grace and then beyond.
I had video I lost were I was showing my father’s last days and walking toward the grave and when standing over his tombstone , I was introducing a light from above using the other drone shining a bright lift through a prism and then a picture still first person as my father’s soul standing over his grave and looking up at the light, then soaring up and fast towards Heaven. I lost that footage and will have to start over. But ability to shoot at night will allow me to show more of the “ vapor “ we are in life and my fathers journey.
Sorry to ramble. Just curious if anyone else has the
Dji FPV and their thoughts / ideas on other uses in videos or photography
I did snap this photo using that quad to get these cows to all look at the camera on que! Ha. Pitching it to chik fil a , why not I though. Cows are notoriously hard to distract and even harder to get several grazing to all look at a camera. But I thought why not see if Chik fil a would want it ....I imagine not. Photoshop can do the same. Still though I cannot accept money until I get my 107. So again, I’m getting that ASAP.
Thanks again! Great to meet you
Will.
