Draw eyes on your drones, I used a magic marker and drew a set of eyes on the front and back of my drones. It sounds silly , but most birds have excellent vision. Since I put the eyes on them I’ve had zero bird encounters. Another good tip is if any bird starts being aggressive toward your drone, come to a stop and as soon as forward movement has stopped hit the throttle and go straight up. This is something no bird can do and when they see the drone doing it does make them stop chasing and diving at your drone. I have not had to use the vertical flight method since I put the eyes on my drones. Barn swallows are as bad as gulls when your near their barn, the eyes even worked on them.

@TheFedoraMedia Ай бұрын

Another great tip for birds being aggressive with the drone is to fly straight up as soon as they are starting to be a pest. 1. Birds can't fly up as fast as the drone. 2. Usually predators to birds come from above so they see it above them and get scared away

@monder1060 Ай бұрын

Wtih regards to the tape there are two possible issues from what I've noticed: - reflective tapes are metallic, so it can make the signal reception a bit funky (less so if only applied to the body of Mini4) - Mini 4 is really pushing the 249g weight barrier, so adding anything to it can take it over the legal limit and potentially cause trouble

Having an extra SD card in your bag at ALL TIMES is a life saver. Definately a pro tip right there in and of itself!

Great video as always. I can't remember where I saw it, but cruise control is great for steady footage. Especially if you want a video of you coming and going through the scene. I've set the C1 button for cruise control and you can just point it in the direction you want it to fly, get it going and hit the C1 button. That way you can keep your hands at your side and it will look a little more natural as your moving though the scene.

On the mini 2 have the similar guide to locate the drone and guide it to home point by clicking the attitude box on the bottom left side and change it to the maps and it will show the position of the drone and there's a line attached to the home point and drone and the only thing is to point the drone towards the "H" and push forward and follow the line - is the fastest direct way back to "H"
