i’ve been flying dji drones for several years and have never used that function because of the crashes i’ve seen in videos on youtube,with the m2p do you have to set an altitude before setting off or does it do that itself to avoid obstacles?

I would HATE to be so healthy that I would have to run all the time!

Good job, some nice video and great effects you put in there.

I don't trust joggers,
They are always the ones
That seem to find the dead bodies.
I'm no detective but.. I'm just sayin'

Very nicely done. You should do a tutorial on how you added those effects

Couldn't shake the drone!
No reason to run with the controller, as long as you stayed within control range of the RC, perhaps mounted on a tripod to get it up higher. Set loss of signal to hover, to give you time to get back to the RC and fly it back, in case you did run out of control range. Better yet, have someone else at the RC controls while you run or vice versa.

...unless you have to run back to find the drone. I don't even want to run ONE way.

I suppose the Skydio 2 with the Beacon would be the ideal setup, but this is proof that the M2 can still get the job done!

I like that you tried a bunch of effects in AE. Experimentation is undervalued.

Thanks! I make music videos, I needed some AE practice, had a lot of fun making it!

Yah, I was using the controller to change angles and avoid trees because in my opinion the automatic avoidance kind of sucks.

Here's a site I've used for Motion/FCPX and AE templates. I use pieces/parts of some of the ones I've purchased. They're more complex than I would ever attempt to build from scratch.
www.motionvfx.com

Also, if you use FCPX even a little bit, this website has a massive number of cool effects for cheap. I don't use FCPX as my primary editor, but I'll use some of these effects on clips as they're the most comprehensive set of effects available.
