Just created this drone video for YT shorts, any advice on how I could improve it?

I shot it on my DJI Mini 2 in 4K 30fps, flying from a legal take-off spot outside the restricted zones, keeping a safe distance from the castle walls and beach visitors. I used CapCut to edit it.

Discussion Are any of you guys planning to upgrade to the air 4?

0 Upvotes

After losing my mini 3 I decided to save up for the air 4. I'm hoping for dual inch but maybe not. I'm really looking forward to activetrack and the better wind stability.

What do you guys think about the air 4 launch?

Discussion Trying to find drone operators

0 Upvotes

Hello drone pilot extraordinaires! I operate a real estate firm that sells mobile home parks and I'm having a hell of a time with these platforms to find pilots across the country. I'm trying to figure out what recommendations you have for finding pilots. I use zeitview Facebook, and repeat pilots whenever I can. I haven't tried Flyguys yet. Please let me know your thoughts.

DIY This might just be the most powerful and small setup for the sub250g

Rebuilt a 2.8-inch quad to 3 inches. 2.8inch gave 170km/h!!

T-Motor 1408 motors allow for it and deliver a massive 726 grams of thrust each—that's 2.9 kg in total! This might just be the most powerful setup for the 250g category. Dry weight is 175g, and with a 530mAh 6S GNB battery, it comes to 249g. That gives a thrust-to-weight ratio of 11.6!

Will check it out when there is no rain.

If needed, I could trim it down just a bit more, but it's unlikely to save more than 5-10 grams.

I'm using the Flywoo GN745 AIO, which is perhaps the only AIO on the market with connectors for VTX, GPS, receiver, and USB-C.

Here is the best weight to time GPS I found. Geprc nano.

I've designed a family of frames and am now slowly building various setups on them. The 4-inch mini long-range turned out pretty well. The idea is to make the top plates easily swappable, so all the frame "bodies" are identical. I can't buy a dozen DJI o4 pro (

I also like the 4.5-inch 1804 running on 4S/5S, but right now I'm testing this build with 5-inch props (4S)—I had to reverse two motors to make them fit within the frame. The motors feel a bit underpowered, though proper tuning might be all it needs.

Question Mini 5 pro vs mini 4 pro

4 Upvotes

I am aware that the mini 5 pro is better than the 4 in many ways but from what research ive done so far it seems like I wont be able to take advantage of DJI care or the Warranty if I choose to go with the 5?

Also been hearing that the 5 has some issues regarding the props? Which i understand may just be a rare occurrence. But i wonder if its worth it considering the fact that I wouldnt have access to the warranty.

Also heard i could go ahead and insure it through state farm but also heard i may need an existing policy with them and also that the policy only qualifies for recreational drones and wouldnt qualify if I decided to get my 107 and fly commercially.

If I got any of this information wrong let me know and thanks in advance. Just want to know what my best options are to protect my investment before making a decision.

FPV What antenna for meteor 75 analog circular polarization

2 Upvotes

I got the meteor 75 off Amazon and thought I had digital it’s been a whole process lol, I finally figured out how to get it flying and linked to my ev800d Fpv goggles, and I bought a triple patch plus a lollipop antenna to help with range, but I found out the stock antenna is not compatible.

I’ve been trying to research what antenna I need but it’s all confusing with lots of different versions of antennas. What should I be looking for?? Any advice should be amazing!
