- Link for the strobe : amzn.eu/d/eWWLTDW - In the UK it is not a legal requirement to use one (but it helps!) If it does put the drone over 250g then to fly in the A1 Open Subcategory you must have the A2 CofC qualification.

If it putts the weight over 250gr you need to fly in the A1 open subcategory, and have RID (Remote identification) activated on the drone aswell..

@amoktimeflies

20 күн бұрын

Which country is that Bas? Because in the UK, if it puts the weight between 250 and 500g then you have to fly in the A2 Open subcategory, unless you hold the A2 CofC qualification, in which case you can fly in the A1 Open subcategory with no intentional overflight of people. Remote ID doesn’t apply in the UK yet! 😱🖖

You can also program actions at the waypoints, it is in the waypoint itself, you can choose to do things like take photos and start and stop recording as well as adjusting the speed between individual waypoints. So you could set it to start recording at the first waypoint and stop recording at the last for example or to go and take photos at different waypoints. The Point Of Interest (POI) feature is useful too, you can set a point of interest and then set some waypoints to look at the point of interest, so the drone will go between waypoints whilst looking at the point of interest. You can do this manually by manually positioning the drone to look at it but the built in feature it could be useful for some scenarios. The reason the clips were slightly off could be to do with the positioning accuracy of the drone, positioning accuracy with GPS is only +-0.5 m, so worst case the position is a metre off between runs. It will also depend on how the drone goes between waypoints, whether it follows a route of intermediate waypoints or it just tries to get to the next waypoint in any way possible. It might be interesting to test it but with adding more waypoints in between to see if the followed route can get any more accurate.

**Journey of Light: Day to Night** With the Mini 4 Pro, let’s take flight, Waypoints set for day and night. From dawn’s embrace to dusk's delight, A seamless dance of fading light. In the morning's tender, golden rays, We map our path through nature’s maze. Each waypoint whispers where to go, Tracing the arc of sun's soft glow. As shadows stretch and twilight nears, We capture moments, calm and clear. Night Mode wakes, with magic’s touch, Transforming scenes we love so much. Day to night, a grand transition, Crafted with a precise vision. In Davinci’s realm, we weave our tale, With hues that shift, like a dream’s veil. For every glow and shadow cast, The Mini 4 Pro makes moments last. From vivid noon to starry skies, Its lens, a portal to our eyes. Through editing’s art, we bring to life, A journey void of daytime strife. The colors blend, the scenes unite, A symphony of dark and light. And though in UK skies we soar, A strobe ensures we see much more. Not just a law, but safety’s light, Guiding our craft through deepest night. So take to air, with heart and sight, Let waypoints guide your wondrous flight. From day’s bright start to night’s embrace, Discover beauty, space by space. Inspire, create, with every frame, Harness the power of DJI’s name. Let Mini 4 Pro be your guide, Through endless skies, horizons wide.

Very interesting project which has been on my to-do list for ages. And I like your way of achieving it, so I'm going to nick it. The 4 second transition really sells the project. I also have a Mini 4 and edit in Resolve. However I've stopped using Dlog M because its not a very nice profile to edit with. Its not even a Log profile either as its just a regular REC709 profile which is a bugger to match with other cameras. I have learned that the Normal and HLG profiles are much more forgiving when editing and matching with my Panasonic cameras. I basically have my drone set to HLG as it has more dynamic range to play with.

HLG is a Log profile and only needs a little bit of tweaking. The colours can be a little too saturated and easily tamed in the grade. I just wish that I could change the sensitivity levels of the Zebras on my drone when filming, as once you see them then there is no wiggle room. You've blown the highlights. The drone channel by Stewart and Alina has a great episode on HLG called "This is the best setting ever".

Mate, bloody brilliant. I have been scouring You Tube for something like this for ages to no avail. Did you just play with this in Davinci and work it out yourself or do you know of a tutorial online that assisted. I want to do something like this but string potentially 8-10 waypoint missions together and want to really get into the "nitty gritty" of this type of stuff. Thanks again, so very much appreciated.

Thankyou - glad to be able to help. I just worked it out myself, but there are other ways of doing it. One person commented that rather than disabling the top track you could just lower the opacity to help line them up which was a really good suggestion! 🖖

Oh and as far a learning about Davinci is concerned - there are some wonderful experts on KZread - take a look at the featured channels on my channel page and there's a whole section about video editing - all Davinci Resolve based.

Almost impossible to police - I wouldn't worry too much...

You have that little strobe light on the back. Have you weighed it? My mini 4 pro is pretty much right on 250g stock so I’d imagine that flashing light could put you over. I’m not criticising just pointing it out in case you didn’t know or think about it since you are in the UK too and flying over a town. You are extremely unlikely to get into any trouble with it itself but it would be one of those things they would tack onto other charges which could make things a lot worse for you if they then consider you in the higher weight category. The laws are for the most part too restrictive with little reason to be, especially to do with BVLOS but until we get better laws it is probably best to keep the number of things they can get you on to a minimum especially things like weight that could make things a lot worse for you. Great video though, I had a similar idea but haven’t had a chance to pull it off and it takes much longer to do. It is basically the same thing but at different times of year so you can get the changing of the seasons. It would require a lot of planning though, partly because of the time needed but also if you are going to that much effort you want to make sure that what you are capturing will be worth it. You don’t want to spend a year capturing video just to find it looks dull and boring in the winter. There is a series from national geographic on Disney Plus called “Europe from Above”, it is a similar idea, capturing landmarks at different times of year using a drone, it is a good example of pretty impressive drone footage. They have a China and India version too but they are only a few episodes each.

Barely goes over 250g and depending on your individual drone you might be lucky. I have the A2 CofC qualification that allows me to fly 250-500g drones in the A1 Open subcategory. 🖖

wow what is this strobe light and does that take the weight over the limit. can you let me know where to buy the strobe light from

@amoktimeflies

24 күн бұрын

Link for the strobe is in the description. Depending on your drone you *might* be lucky. Otherwise unless you have the A2 CofC in the UK then you can fly a drone between 250g and 500g in the A1 Open Subcategory. I would recommend taking that anyway as it's just a very useful qualification and also allows you to fly commercially. All the best and thanks for watching! 🖖

Yep hasn’t dropped for mine yet, will try using the DJI assist app for it. Thanks for watching!🖖

Do you actually need to take off from the same place and same height? I thought it was based on GPS for the position? The altitude is relative so making sure you are at the same height would be important though. I’m pretty sure I have flown a waypoint mission multiple times when taking off from different locations but the same altitude and it has worked fine. As for stitching the video together, as long as you can get the takeoff altitudes close enough there shouldn’t be too much of a jump in the video. I just wish DJI would implement absolute altitude rather than just the relative altitude they use now. It would be much less restrictive and it should be easy for them to add since they already have maps and altitude data is included with most maps. The actual regulations are that you have to be less than 120 m from the closest point on the Earth’s surface but DJI just uses altitude relative to where you took off which is a pain. If I take off and fly down a hill, I need to know what height the ground is there to make sure that I don’t go above the maximum height, similarly when going up hill. An example is where I live, there are some houses on the hill and then wide open fields at the bottom of the hill, I can fly up to 120 m above me when I take off from my house but how do I know what height I can fly at over the fields? I had to fly over the fields and then descend until I was almost on the ground to find out the relative altitude of the ground down there and it is -30 m, so 30 m lower than my take off point at my house which means I can only go up to a relative height of 90 m there. With all the technology in these drones we shouldn’t need to do this, the drone should know its absolute altitude and the altitude of the ground underneath it and as I said before, this is very easy to implement, just add altitude data to the maps and GPS can tell the absolute altitude of the drone. Having proper altitude data rather than just relative altitude would make waypoint planning much easier too, then taking off from the same height wouldn’t matter at all since the drone knows what absolute altitude it is trying to get to at each waypoint, then you could take off anywhere in range and fly the exact same route. A tool to plan waypoints on your PC beforehand would be very useful too but I think they only have that for their enterprise drones.

Yep - agreed!👍 🖖

Please confirm, that you have to launch from same place and get to same altitude for a waypoint flight? I thought that it didn't matter where you launch from and that it flys to the start and Altitude set when creating the waypoints. Please confirm as I may have mis-understood. Thanks.

@amoktimeflies

27 күн бұрын

Correct - I believe the waypoints are mainly calculated relative to the take off point for the altitude, but possibly also have some bearing on direction. 🖖

what software are you using for editing?

@amoktimeflies

Davinci Resolve - there's a free version that is epic - not a huge amount of difference between the free and paid version. The company behind it (Blackmagic Design) has a VERY good business model. Would thoroughly recommend... 🖖

hello my new friend full support to you my friend, I'm from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and I am a drone pilot too. I use the DJI mini 2 and the Mini 4 Pro. however I managed to modify a triple blade propeller kit that I got from Amazon for around $20 Canadian dollars. and I need to get three of these kits along with two of the Master Airscrew Super Stealthy propeller blades from Amazon too. and I posted a video about it. do please take a look and leave me a comment if you have any questions for me. and yes it will put your drone over the 249 g weight...

As you were flying over a road, I thought you were doing a hyperlapse as I saw another video of a guy doing transition from day to night hyperlapse

Funny you should say that - I started out this weekend doing a hyperlapse vid of the sunset, but little did I know that if you're charging a DJI Mic it doesn't record at the same time, so I had a silent movie! 😂🖖

Was / is there a way in DR to use transparency 50% on both clips to line them up?

@amoktimeflies

Yes - I'm sure there is! Someone else suggested that as well and it's a REALLY good idea! I think it's referred to as 'opacity' and I'm going to have a go with it at some point - think it 's another great way of matching things up! 🖖

What software do u use?

@amoktimeflies

Davinci Resolve Studio Version although the free version works just as well I think. 🖖

How do you film that if you are required to have your drone in line of sight at all times? It’s that taking your drone out of your sight?

I'll subscribe. But I encourage you continue this two phase approach. Fly and then editing the video. This was fun to watch.

Thankyou so much - that is really valuable feedback! Can't promise to do it 100% of the time as I'm not an expert at editing (I'm not an expert at anything! 😂), but it will definitely be a format that I will revisit frequently as I enjoy the process and enjoy sharing it with people 🙂 🖖

Why not just lower the opacity some or use multiply for the overlay video to line it up? Enjoyed overall though

Thanks for watching and the comment. 400ft/120m is the same for the UK. If you’re in the US, I know in 2022 the FAA waived the need for having to hold the part 107 for night time operations as long as appropriate anti collision lights (strobes) are equipped. Is it a regional law that prevents you from doing this? 🖖
