Rainy and dreary all day yesterday, but then cleared off in the evening and I got some cool clouds.

Would you please be so kind as to tell us the exact technique for the moving clouds? I am assuming you used HYPERLAPSE mode and 5 seconds in the photo mode?

Sure!

I started with a fresh battery.

I put the drone to the starting point about 100 ft up (30m) and as far as I could see it and turned it about 90 degrees from the subject toward me. Any angle would work. I looked at the auto exposure settings, then put to manual and reduced the exposure a stop or two to bring out the drama. Then I set the video mode to hyper lapse and selected the course mode. I set the heading. I put the rate to 2 seconds and set the duration to like 25 seconds. Put the speed as low as it will go. Then I pointed the drone at the subject, adjusted the gimbal to show just a little ground and hit record. Drone started moving slowly to the side and snapping pictures every 2 seconds. It passed over me about half way done. When it was threatening to return to home, I stopped the video, used the map to point the drone down the red line, put it in sport mode and shoved the stick forward. It got back to me in no time.

The video is 2 batteries worth of shooting.

I forgot to take the filter off. Would have been better to shoot with no ND filter.
