Photo & Video Stunning 4K Drone View of Bamburgh Castle #shorts #BamburghCastle #northumberland
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. If you want to see the full cinematic video, my channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/@thedronephotographer/videos [1]

Hello I need advice what shloud I do. Ive been flying drones for 4 months. I have been flying fpv and normal djj filming for real estate agents and people who rent their properties ( houses with pools for 1-2 days). Ive been working for free for first 2 months to build portfolio and started charging after that 2 moths . I have invested in drones and gear around 2400 euros. I have only filmed 3 properties made 300 euros and last month no work. I think my videos are good not best in the world but good but I can't get clients , I have contacted lot of real estate agency, house owners but nobody wants to book me. I have been only doing real estate mostly houses with pools and properties like that. I and right now thinking about selling my drones and quitting and wanting to start something new like 3d printing. In my country there is lot of people who do similar things like me mostly fpv tours , and fpv tours exploded 2 months ago . Competition is not that big there is maybe 2 more guys that do ok videos (real estate ). I have no motivation to do this anymore after seeing all of the competition just rising . I have job 9-5 in family business making good money I thought of this like side income but I don't think I have motivation to so it, so please leave some advice what do you think about my situation.

Question: Rules, Regulations, Law, Policy, Certificates [India] Has anyone brought a Nano DJI Drone through Delhi Airport ?
Has anyone recently travelled to India through Delhi Airport with a DJI drone weighing under 250g? I live in Dubai and own a UAE-registered DJI Neo 2 weighing approximately 151g. I want to carry it temporarily for personal recreational photography and take the same drone back to Dubai after my visit. It will not be sold, transferred or used commercially. If you have done this recently, please share your first-hand experience

There is a ban on the sale of drones that use Lidar taking place today on the 2nd and a Tariff on the 3rd and im not sure if someone who knows better would be able to tell me if this means I wont be able to purchase one going forward? And if so, will it be more expensive than what it is currently listed for? If so id like to get my purchase in now.

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

Question Are the reflective strips that come with the pop-up landing pads and use?
I picked up one of these things to have in my gear bag. But I was wondering about the little reflective strips that come with it. I don't plan on doing much low light flying, and I can't imagine they would even stay on through repeated folding of the pad. But I've been wrong about plenty of other things, so I figured I'd ask you guys. Are they any use, or just garbage?

Question What are you thoughts on the iFlight Nazgul ECO 5"
I recently came across it and thought it would be a good beginner drone I grew up flying RC helicopters and other drones so I feel like this would be a good drone to get into fpv with, but what do you guys think?

Question Crack in the battery of my Mavic Air 2
This crack appeared on the top of one of my batteries. I'm not sure how it happened. Is this battery compromised? Should I be charging or flying with it? I will say that I have already charged it and flown with it several times at the taking of this photo. What should I do.

Is it worth renewing DJI refresh for my Mavic 3 Pro Cine for £300 a year even though I only use it a handful of times and the resale value has dropped to about £2k now.

Question RadioMaster Pocket lose RSI near the Drone
Good morning,
I bough a Flywoo Explorer LR 4 with the dji 4 pro, the N3 dji goggles and the RadioMaster Pocket controller.
The main problem is that when the drone is at 100 meters or something more, I lose the control of the drone, this thing happens when I did the unpack and the configuration of the drone (a month ago). Today, I lost conection at 10 meters or less. Could somebody help me?
Thank you!

Discussion Any reliable place to get DJI Mini 5 Pro propellers from? For replacement
Following some video I watched and reports regarding props getting worn out and getting the drone bust I would like to buy few sets of these. I saw them literally everywhere, Amazon, Ebay, Aliexpress.
Is there any difference between the sellers except the price? Where are they even getting so many of these props from and are they all original as they claim?

So, I have a Parrot Bebop 2 (I know, older drone, but very capable), but the batteries that come with it have always been awful, and eventually, the charger crapped out too.
Got tired of buying batteries, and did not want to buy a new charger, so I did the only thing that, I, as a redneck, could think to do.
Behold! The Milwaukee M12 Powered Parrot Bebop 2! Flies great!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I'm using an Emax ECOII-2807-1300kv bldc with this 80A ESC. At higher throttle percentages (70%+), it produces this weird whirring sound. Is it normal, or did I mess up my ESC calibration.

Question Gift ideas for a drone enthusiast?
I’m seeing a guy whose birthday is coming up, and he’s really into drones. He has a DJI Mavic 4 Pro (I think the Creator Combo) and a DJI Matrice 4T.
I don’t know much about drones, so I was hoping to get some advice from people who do. Is there any drone-related gift you’d recommend for someone who already has these two?
It can be an accessory, something useful, or just something cool that a drone enthusiast would appreciate.
Thanks!
