Yeh - fireworks can be done, but you basically have to be right in the middle of them (which is obviously quite risky). FPV are better for it but obviously a very different skill set! Glad you found this useful and thanks for watching!🖖

Yep - have already taken a quick butchers at some of your stuff - love the Blackpool tower one! Been meaning to switch to HLG for a couple of vids based on your advice, but you know how it can be - I know what I know and venturing into what I'm not used to can be a little challenging! I'm also not that technical when it comes to videography, but perhaps I need to do more research and create a vid on it 🤔😉 All the best - and thanks for watching! 🖖

@@amoktimeflies That is kind of you to take a butchers at my Blackpool Tower stuff. As for HLG, I'm so glad that I gave it a second chance after getting my fingers burned using in on my Panasonic camera. It is a really good colour profile which play's nicely when put through the Resolve washer when editing. Side by side HLG and the Natural colour profiles look almost indistinguishable while Dlog-M looks awful and really hard to get even close to look the same. And that's after using the DJI dLog-M official LUT. No need for LUTs with HLG and Natural colour profiles.😀 I did a little experiment a couple of nights ago where I went into the garden and filmed a static scene, of some garden ornaments and solar lights, with the drone hand held. I kept the camera as still to get the most out of the bit-rate and available low light and reduce any rolling shutter or blurring. Taking five second clips of each colour profile was very instructive. I filmed Natural, HLG, DLog-m and Night Time. Out of the can HLG and Natural were the best hands down. In fact the Natural colour profile, which is an 8bit codec, had less noise and was a bit sharper than HLG. I was expecting this after learning on KZfaq a few years ago that a camera's colour profile, for REC 709 standard dynamic range (SDR) will usually perform better than a LOG colour profile (HDR) at night even with the high dynamic range and 10bit codec.

One of my favourite ever comments - Thankyou so much for your kind words - they genuinely mean a lot! It's so lovely to hear that I've helped someone (even if it's showing how *not* to do something sometimes!😂). Would be great to see your creation on KZfaq at some point, especially as my family hails from Falkirk! All the best. Amok🖖

Thankyou so much - glad you enjoyed it! 🖖

Thanks RW! Will do! 🖖

I predict a firmware update that gives us the option to automatically record on takeoff. It still wouldn’t completely protect from MY incompetence but would go a long way to helping! Thanks for watching and the comment, Paul!🖖

The weird thing is that I’ve taken off from my car roof loads of time before without issue. Possibly something random to do with recent updates… thanks as always for watching Johnny! 🖖

Hey Shaun - thanks for watching! Yeh - I just checked - I’m sure there used to be a setting in the camera menu for that… best get a strobe and stick it on the back (if the EU allow that sort of thing?) All the best! 🖖

Thanks Chris - I was glad *I* made it home to be frank! Probably the most nervous I've been on a shoot - that area isn't really somewhere you want to go after dark with a bunch of expensive equipment if you know what I mean! As ever - thanks for watching! 🖖

🙀😅👍🍻

@@amoktimeflies Good job you don't have an infra red camera for all those people walking their dogs.😜

'Walking their dogs' 🤮😂🖖

Спасибо за просмотр! 🖖

Yeh - but trying doing all of that when you’re trying to film a vid and there’s doggers to the left and dealers to the right is a bit tricky! 🤣 thanks for watching buddy! 🖖

I think they must have just left their dog off the lead or something. Thanks for watching, Ian! 😂🖖

😬😳😂🤣🖖

🤣Yeh - we probably wouldn't admit to it, but pretty sure you're right!. Have taken off from the top of my car plenty of times before, but only this time did I have a problem. I think it may be because its the first time I've done it since the recent updates that were meant to 'fix' the mini 4 pro RC2 compass wobble. Pretty sure it's a myth that the RC2 just has a 'sensitive compass' cos it's rock steady with the Air 3 and I use the same handset! Anyway - apologies for the rant! 😂 Thanks for watching! 🖖

@@amoktimeflies No worries at all. Rant away if you want 😉 Might help next time to use a rake-off / landing pad on the roof of the car to give the drone something to look at instead of the shiny surface. Might help.

Appreciate the advice, I have a landing pad, but very little point in using it as the vision systems don't work that well in the pitch dark anyway. Also I had the compass error even before taking off so I don't think it would have made that much difference. Normally I'd hand launch, but I had my hands full and wanted to be in and out quick so kept it simple... If you know the area then you'd know what sort of freaks are around there at that time of night! 😱😂🖖

I use a landing pad with a light so I can see it with the drone controller

Thanks for watching Bud - 300K! 🤯 That's an amazing achievement and that's excellent growth from 12 to 700! There's plenty more to come with the Mini 4 Pro - and the Air 3 is just a BEAST that flies for what seems like an eternity even in relatively high winds! Well, when I say an 'eternity' - about 40 minutes - suffice it to say I can't remember the last time I had a low battery warning! All the best! 🖖

@@amoktimeflies hahha if I got the air 3 it would just be for special just me time because of the boundaries or go get that gvc. But yes thanks for your input too, always grateful. Ps, nice Mic, I got one in May

@@efpdronefootage I was about to say that with the Air 3 flying with Article 16 it’s not that much of a big deal, but then realised that you’re the ‘automated flight’ king! 😂 (which isn’t covered by A16 sadly) 🖖

ermmm.. OK.... Possibly need a little more context with that one, but thanks for watching anyway 🙂🖖
