Everything looks different from above. And that car looked like it came too close for comfort to my Spyder, but I'm sure it wasn't that close 😁👍

Very Cool Wayne... Thanks for taking me along for the flight !! Cheers 🇨🇦

This reminded me of a friend of mine that has a Sea Doo YT channel and he does a lot of filming from his drone following the Sea Doo. Once he was up in Honey Harbour and realized the drone had latched on to another boat that was headed out into Georgian Bay. Once he realized it the drone was running low on battery. He did a hand catch with 5% battery left.

Nice video. Your narrative makes it. You are also in exactly the same mode as me. I ride a motorcycle quite a bit, I like to tinker with the tech, I am an avid photographer and I am 70. I love my Mini 4 Pro. I have been shy about flying it at night without obstacle avoidance. I am still warming up to it. If you do the screen push button take-off and then take it up to 10 meters and hover for 5+ seconds, the drone will nail the RTH landing accuracy just about every time....pro tip.

I believe GoPro is still king of the hill for action cameras. DJI is king of the hill for consumer and recreational drones, but DJI is giving GoPro a run for their money in the action camera arena, and now Insta360 just released an action camera this week, that apparently has awesome night view capability. Competition is good 😃👍👍

Great shots, man! Very cool. Still playing with my insta360 and GoPro10.

Lovely work, Wayne. Is there no restrictions for flying at night over there? Here in AUS it’s illegal to fly at night, unless you have commercial permits.

@SpyderWayne

8 ай бұрын

In the U.S., to fly a drone at night, the drone must have strobe lighting visible at 3 nautical miles. The Mini 4 Pro has strobe lighting, but I don't know for sure if these lights are compliant with the 3 nautical mile rule. The strobe lights on the Mini 3 Pro were NOT in compliance with this FAA rule. I don't know if there are additional rules if you're flying a drone for commercial purposes, which includes using drone footage on a monetized video on KZread, which I don't qualify for yet. If that day comes and I choose to monetize, I would have to have a UAS Part 107 license. Back to your question, yes we can fly drones at night without special permits, but the drone and pilot must be in compliance with the same rules for flying their drone in the daytime, and at night, having compliant strobe lighting. Haha, my answer went on way too long 😳🤪😁

Great video! I just bought a Mini 4 pro last month and am ready to night fly! BTW what software do you use to blend in music to your videos?

You can use any video editing software to bring in a music file and edit the music into your video. I use Corel Video Studio Ultimate. Thanks for watching, and for your comment 😁👍

Great video, Wayne! I love how you compared 3 different lighting conditions and my favorite was the last one. How did you get what looks like a complete recording of your phones screen showing all of the data from the drone?

@SpyderWayne

8 ай бұрын

No phone used. I bought the Mini 4 Pro that came with the new RC2 Controller, which has a built-in screen on the controller. Now that I have the DJI Mic, I just clipped a mic/transmitter to my shirt. The receiver plugs directly into the RC2 controller in the USB C port. The controller itself has a screen recording feature (which is the parts in this video showing all the telemetry data), and when you have a mic plugged into the controller, the screen recording file contains the audio. So I end up with 4k drone footage from the drone SD card, and my audio is from the 1080p screen recording file stored on the controller. I just had to line up the audio file with the drone footage file whenever it showed me talking on the video. The rest of the drone video doesn't have to exactly match up exactly to the audio file, just get it close enough, no one can see if you're off by a few seconds (when you're not in the video, but talking away) It's easier than it seems in my lengthy explanation. 😁👍

That's a good question. The Mini 4 Pro does have strobe lights, but to be honest, I don't know if those lights meet the FAA rules for night flying (being visible for 3 nautical miles).
