Drone pics and vids

So I've started playing around with my DJI mini 3 pro. These are my first AEB pics.

Have you used it to follow the boat yet?

Not yet.

Those Mini 3s have a nice camera

Looks much nicer than my Mini 2 for out of the box shots.

Love my mini 3 pro. I also haven't used the active track, yet. I'm guessing my boating season is coming to a close. We have crap nearly every weekend until Oct. Ugh!

You are gonna love the size and ease of use of the Mini 3. I have had great luck with my Mini 2 over my previous drones.

This is how we spent our weekend.

Dude, I'm feeling that bad this year.

Bought a camper in Late July. By the time we got to use it, we've now scheduled soccer games for 11 and 4yr old boys every Saturday until October. UGH.

So many things!

The video quality has been crazy impressive. Pics in low light have turned out better than I thought too.

Same! This weekend we have soccer, followed by birthday parties for Sat. Then Bday parties again on Sun. Ugh! Then it's one thing after another for weeks on end. Soccer fortunately being the least impactful as the games are always 9am. IF we didn't have other things going on I could have the boat hooked up and ready to go for when we get home.

Its like a boat, you don't need... but man is it fun!

Drone flying and boating is exhilarating but I learned the hard way and bought a float system. Will save you a lot of grief.

Also if flying DJI the Home Point needs to be constantly updating to the location of the receiver or else it will return to the location where it launched from and if you are no longer there then it goes in the drink.

I saw a setting where you can set the controller as the home point rather than a physical point

The return to remote function exists and it works just don’t forget to set it before you take off.

 

[HawaiiBreeze]

I will look for this. Thanks for the tip.

I've been able to talk myself out of a drone for YEARS! It always just seemed like a frivolous expense for something I'd rarely use. And yes I'll probably still rarely use it. I did some side work, which I stopped doing due to the time it took away from other hobbies. So, I had some extra cash and I normally always put that side money towards paying stuff off, or bills, or saved it. This time I said I'm going to piss every $ away on stuff that I've wanted, but would/could never bring myself to buy. So I bought underwater lights, that I'll rarely use, and a drone, that I'll rarely use. LOL! The few times I do use them I'll be grinning ear to ear.
