    Taking photos of the Eclipse

    I personally am just going to look at the pictures online that others have taken with all of their specialized setups.....not going to risk my gear on an unpaid project like that. As others have already stated, a drone is just not the right platform to film an eclipse, the lens is too wide, the...

    video and photo editing software.

    DR has very minimal storage requirements during the install, I think less than 1GB is required and if you have less than that available you probably have other problems as well. More than likely it was your GPU or some other software preventing it from installing like Anti-Virus software. The...

    How long does an Autel battery last if used intensively?

    Below are what I do to make the batteries last as long as possible despite heavy usage and living in FL where it is blazing hot nearly year round. I am not a battery engineer so these are not scientific certainties, but I have used high capacity LiPo batteries for many years. I also used to fly...

    How long does an Autel battery last if used intensively?

    This has been discussed many times, here is one such thread. Long story short is that 2yrs or 100 cycles, whichever comes first is pretty common. With that said, how you take care of your batteries also has a large impact on how long they last. I fly extensively as well, and in the Florida heat...

    Let Your Light Shine Campaign - 4 Mile Night Hyperlapse Arc - EVO II Pro

    It was all video, the battery would have never lasted 4 miles out and back if the drone were flown at 2mph. It was actually flown at full speed, around 35mph (with the crosswind) sideways.

    Vertical PHOTOGRAMETRY

    All a "vertical" picture (aka portrait orientation) is, is a horizontal picture (aka landscape orientation) cropped to a portrait aspect ratio. In simple laymen's terms, if you want a portrait oriented image of a landscape simply shoot with enough room on the sides of the image to crop to a...

    Exif Altitude Data Wrong

    It is always wrong, another pet peeve of mine. I have had a few clients question the altitude of my footage over the years when it needed to be very precise. With DJI I used to be able to send them the EXIF data, now I just have to tell them it is accurate. Very annoying to say the least. I...

    cant record or take stills and are not on the smart controller.

    No, that is not what I meant.....the EVO II 6K drone has approximately 8GB of internal storage inside of the drone. You have to connect the drone itself to a computer using a USB-C cable, then power it on and it will appear as an external USB drive on your computer, the images and video are...

    cant record or take stills and are not on the smart controller.

    Are you sure that you recording to the SD card and not the internal storage? I would try connecting the EVO to your computer via USB cable and powering it on to see if they are being saved to the internal storage. If so, then you need to switch the save location to the SD card.

    Here Are My Best Camera Settings For the EVO II 6K Camera

    I think after reading my ND filter thread there's really no one left to dispute the logic. I literally use ND filters nearly daily, my cinema cameras even have them built in, and I have vNDs on my hybrid and photography cameras, just never with drone footage. For traditional photography they are...

    Here Are My Best Camera Settings For the EVO II 6K Camera

    The ISO, WB, and Aperture are all pretty much fixed for daylight shooting. Just set those to ISO100, WB Daylight, Aperture F5.6 then use the histogram to find the right shutter speed. I typically set the ISO, WB, and Aperture on the ground, then when I am in the air I aim the camera at the...

    Here Are My Best Camera Settings For the EVO II 6K Camera

    I see a lot of the same posts asking what are the best camera settings for [insert your drone model here]. I have been shooting with the EVO II 6K Pro for about 3yrs now and have shot in almost every condition possible; cloudy, sunlight, sunset, civil twilight, full night, even fog. For pretty...

    video and photo editing software.

    For professional use unfortunately Lightroom has no equal. I say unfortunately because I hate paying the $10/mo subscription fee but I have yet to find something better and I have tried nearly all of the mainstream alternatives out there. TBH, none were even close. For high speed batch...
