    Calculating Sun Angles/Locations

    The history of digital photography began in the 1950s.

    Calculating Sun Angles/Locations

    Cadre Pilot: If you are a photographer ( not just drones) the Photo Pills app (about$9.99) is probably the most valuable tool a photographer can own. The learning curve is a bit steep but there are tons of lessons by the inventor. Go to the App Store and enter Photo Pills. Watch the video too...

    Calculating Sun Angles/Locations

    Cadre Pilot: I would imagine that you own the PHOTO PILLS app? Photo Pills has positions of the sun, moon, Milky Way, etc. under its virtual image. Dale Miami

    Air 2s test video after repairs,

    I have zero experience with night photography so I cannot say. I would check out the focus for daytime shooting. There should be sharp images. If the day videos are sharp, then I think it might be the inability of the auto focus to focus well at night. Next time, try a few night still images and...

    Air 3 Estate in the wood

    I would agree with this sentiment, but the Avana enthusiasts seem to thrive on this kind of flying. While viewing this entire video I felt like a suicide pilot nearly missing buildings, and other structures. Not for the faint of heart. Dale

    3 Snug Harbor

    A beautiful town, with ball fields and quaint houses, and a massive port with a big city skyline. All perfect. Nicely flown, and great music selection. My only nit I can pick is that it was a bit repetitive at the end. Dale Miami

    Air 3 An Epic Departure - Giant STS Crane leaves Cobh , Ireland

    That was a stunning video! Bravo! Extremely well done flight, and the compositions could not have been better. Dale Miami

    3 Storm

    Stunning image and great capture of the lightening bolt. The grass is a bit over saturated and very green. Loe the clouds. Dale Miami

    Air 2s test video after repairs,

    I viewed both- #4 is definitely soft, and #3 a bit sharper but not really sharp. Just my opinion ( I have been doing photography since age 8 and am now 85). Dale Miami

    Air 2s Flying near to Petronas Tower

    I would have been afraid too! Too darn high for me and I would have been looking over my shoulder half the time for a police officer.

    Mini 4 Asian city at night 2 with bonus

    Beautiful film John. Ho Chi Minh City looks gorgeous at night. I was there many years ago before these buildings existed. Amazing city and your video did it proud. At first I thought it was Shanghai, but then I spotted the thousands of mini bikes, and the dancing girls and thought, no, this has...

    Mini 4 Cinematic Apulia from Hay Bales to Sea

    I suppose this a good film but it is not for me. I do not enjoy watching Avata films at all. They are too fast, too twisty, lack time to study and appreciate detail and scenery, they are pushy, and shovey , and just plain hard to watch. My wife and I spent two weeks driving in Puglia (same as...

    To Turkey with a drone

    Vlad: On the other hand , I have just spoken with a Mavic Pilots Forum member who recently transited Istanbul and said the customs did not even pay any attention to his drone in his carry on bags! They just passed him through. He also told me that there are a lot of drone You Tubes of Istanbul...

    To Turkey with a drone

    I have looked into flying drones in Turkey. There is only this impossible requirement- you must first be a resident of Turkey to get the proper registration or permit.

    Air 2s Goulburn River Australia

    You certainly live in a very beautiful area with plenty of interesting place to fly. I, too, took note of those wires! I might have struck them, they are so well camouflaged. I also noted what appeared to be tennis courts and a large swimming pool. Is that a local recreational facility...
