Yeh - that’s a really good suggestion! I wonder what the difference in battery life is - aux light vs the extra few grams of a strobe light… 🤔 Thanks for watching! 🖖

@@amoktimeflies the difference is modified vs not and I can see the aux light at the max legal distance and height just fine. Modified as you say in the video means A1 and A2CofC required. Nobody needs it if they simply use the Aux Light. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ah - yes of course! good point! 🖖

Thankyou Tabadrone, and thanks for watching!🖖

Hey thankyou! Good luck! 🖖

Thanks that's very nice of you to say so, but I wouldn't go that far though - possibly the best in my town.... hmmm well... street.... scratch that - house... 🤣 Thanks for the comment buddy - all the best...🖖

@@MatthewJohn-g2o thank you mate - grass is all cut now (believe me I was SOOO shamed into it 😂 😂 😂) 🖖

Thankyou for your kind comment.... and I feel your pain... Well.... I have to say I'm no expert and it was a bit of a 'hit and hope' to be brutally honest. I'm both near and far sighted and have astigmatism. God knows how the science works on it, but they do supply a set of lenses that that you put in the goggles that help to focus the image if you wear glasses. I have to crank them to the max focussing setting and luckily that works for me. That said - there is help at hand - if you find that you need a more specific prescription for them - this will help : honsvr.com/product/prescription-lenses-for-dji-goggles-2-dji-avata/ - extra £50 for perfect vision in them doesn't seem a lot to shell out really given the cost of the rest of the gear!. All the best! 🖖

@@amoktimeflies Wow, that is pretty wild that you can get your prescription lensens ordered! 😀 Thank you for replying, I will wait for the next Avata 2 sale as I just ordered the Air 3💸💸💸

@@bunkermagnus very nice - Air 3 in Sport mode is also surprisingly rapid! 🖖

Thank you Wallybee! Really wanted to use it on this shoot, but as I had the Air 3 in the bag as well and it was a bit windy, just thought - why not!? All the best..🖖

Hey Topper (you have your Father’s eyes 😂) I tend to fly at a fair height in my neighbourhood so as not to worry people. I do have another night video planned soon, so will try comparing some different settings though.. Thanks for the suggestion! 🖖

Thankyou matey! Went a bit crazy recently so cadence will probably be down to about 1 every 2 weeks - I'm sure of all people you know how much work it takes in editing though! All the best! 🖖

Hey Clifford - thanks for watching… So - take off, click on the waypoints icon on the left of the screen, and then where the waypoint stuff comes up at the bottom of the screen, click on the 3 dots then the piece of paper icon. Select the last waypoint mission in the screen that comes up, then hit ‘go’. Once the drone has reached position exit out of waypoints by clicking on the waypoints icon again at the left side of the screen. Then set up your hyperlapse. Alternatively you can just use the waypoints option within the hyperlapse function which to be honest is probably the simpler way to do it! 🖖

@@amoktimeflies The later part .. can that flight mission be saved so that when I bring it up the drone will go back to the same place? And will all of the parameters be locked in as well or will those have to be manually set ?

Yep - if you use the waypoints option withing the hyperlapse function that will be saved as well - so you can take off, select hyperlapse -> waypoints and you should see a ‘paper’ icon there where you can select the previous hyperlapse with all the same settings… (As I said in the intro - I just make things really hard for myself 😂)🖖

🤣 yeh - that was the photo of him when it happened! 😂 😂 😂 Thanks for watching! 🖖

😂 yes - it is a bit tricky, but I find sellotaping them to your face seems to do the trick! 🤣 thanks for watching! 🖖

Hey Peter - thanks for watching - link for Davinci Resolve is in the pinned comment at the top 🔝 👍🖖

🤣 Too late! 😂 🤣 😂 Thanks as always for your kind words, Paul! 🖖

💯 agree! Brilliant fun! 🖖

Thanks for watching Luis - I am in the market for a new hybrid camera, so your recommendation is very welcome! Cheers!🖖

Wow, thanks Ian! - glad you enjoyed it! 🖖

Thankyou! 🖖

Thank Ian - If I could literally have only one then for the Air 3 it would probably be the PL/ND 64 - I really liked the saturation effect it had. For the Mini 3 and 4 pro + the Avata 2 probably the ND 32. Thanks for watching! 🛩️🖖

Thankyou so much Chris 👍Just bear in mind - 3 x 15 hours days making the vid + *many* miles covered for some of that footage. So my hourly rate based on the value of the filters was probably less than efficient! 😂 Good thing I enjoy the process and genuinely admire the products! All the best 🖖

🤣🤣🤣 Actually it was 'the Welsh one' 😂 - Thanks for watching buddy! 🖖

1st! 🤣🖖

Thankyou - that’s very flattering, but I’m just your basic idiot trying to make his way in life 😂 🖖

@@amoktimeflies I use filmora I never used da Vinci

@@amoktimeflies I'm going to give it a try Ocean Beach San Diego

No worries bud - I've got you covered! It's probably simpler to create a way point hyperlapse with 2 points that are basically in the same place. That way you can also save that to repeat several times. If you DO use the waypoints method as shown you just need to exit that waypoints mission *then* set up your hyperlapse. The waypoints mission is purely there to 'mark the spot' that you were in before. Hope that helps and sorry for any confusion! 🖖

@@amoktimeflies Thx for the answer...now I know what went wrong. I'll go outside now to test it although I'm quite sure that not ending the waypoint mission was the mistake that caused the whole desaster. Again: Thank you!!!

No Worries - just make sure to click on the waypoints icon on the left hand side of the screen to come out of it before you start your hyperlapse (I've slept on it - I think that is probably what was happening!) Good Luck! 🖖

My pleasure 😊 Thanks for watching!🖖

Thankyou! That’s a very good question - if I could only have one then my pick would be an ND32 - this is my default filter day to day, just because of the mix of weather we have in the UK. If you have mainly very bright days with few clouds I would possibly recommend the ND64 and conversely if you have mainly cloudy days then possibly an ND16. If you live near water then possibly try to find a polarised ND32 as this would help with reflections and also give more of a saturated look to the image of the sky (which some people like). I hope that’s helpful and thanks for watching!🖖

@@amoktimeflies Hi thank you for the reply Just subscribed So just skip nd 6, how about nd 64? Is it an essential? Kinda hard to find n64

I use ND64 on very bright cloudless days in the UK so if your weather is primarily like that then I would try to seek one out. Obviously if you are shooting at dawn or dusk though, you may want to take it off. 🖖 oh - and thanks for the sub!

💯Thankyou so much mate! - yeh several people suggested that and its a REALLY good technique - used it in the follow up vid and it's a blimmin' keeper! (credited all the people that suggested it at the time) I also now use it for matching up screen recordings with drone footage as well. Gotta love the YT hive mind! Ya don't know until ya know right? All the best - thanks for watching and really appreciate the comment! 👍👍🖖

@@amoktimeflies I looked for a similar comment but didn’t find any. Maybe didn’t scroll enough. ;) Have a nice evening and thanks for your answer.

Yes - sub 250gram drones have the least restrictions. Check out my vid on this stuff… th-cam.com/video/aUCLujGP1d0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uovYWe_vr71RPKJ5 All the best 🖖

Aha - funny you should mention that! 😉🖖 th-cam.com/video/ArxSsqeNXwc/w-d-xo.html

Thankyou so much for the sub - and welcome to the hobby - careful though! it's very addictive 😉 don't forget to watch my vids on the 5 Things you need to know before fly and your first flight!

Thanks Anthony - was another lovely afternoon FPV-ing with my boy... 🖖

Thankyou so much buddy! - Those ones are an exhausting edit - and that editor is exhausting!😂😉 There is a touch of that in my latest vid as well.... Thanks for watching! 🖖

@@amoktimeflies I am watching your video on ND filters. You made it very understandable. Thanks for all you do!

@@user-nb7fr9kb8j thankyou mate - much appreciated!🖖

Thanks Johnny - Yeh - I agree - didn’t want to call it out directly, but that is one of the reasons I put that general caveat in there to check with other apps. It’s good as an initial guide though. The free version looks 24 hours ahead I think and the basic paid version looks 7 days ahead (just for anyone reading this). Cheers buddy! 🖖

Thankyou so much Steve - and really appreciate the gesture of the ‘correct’ spelling😉- but don’t stress about it - you do you ☺️ As long as people find my videos useful or entertaining (or both!) then that’s fine by me… All the best…😀🖖

@@amoktimeflies :) English, I mean the folks from England, sorry I thought you were English :-)

Thankyou! Program I use is Davinci Resolve - check out the FAQs in the description for more details. Thanks for watching! 🖖

Ok - thanks for the advice - am I perfect? No… Am I working to be a better person? Also no 😂 Thanks for watching anyway! 🖖

Crikey - that was a while ago. I don’t *think* I had one on, although if I did it would have been my lowest one which would have been ND8. Thanks for watching!🖖

Hmmm erm... yep - as the Naked Gun quote goes... "Yes of course I realise that.... now...." A few people mentioned that, and I've used it since and it's a game changer- In fact I hope I atoned for my ignorance somewhat in the follow up vid where I completely mashed up joining hyperlapses together 🤣. And I'm sorry - but I have to take umbridge at being called a 'nutter' - 'nerd' maybe, 'idiot' - almost certainly, but 'nutter'? well.... actually to be fair, you may have a point.... 😂 Thanks for watching buddy - all the best! 👍🖖

OMG! I had to check myself - 1383m actually!. That is amazing! I don't tend to pay that much attention to the telemetry on the screen when flying as I'm so conscious of keeping keeping the drone in VLOS. I can honestly say that I could see it the whole time, but at the same time can 100% understand your comment! - I can only think that with the incredibly clear and cloudless sky and with the sun low and behind me it was just a complete outlier as far as VLOS was concerned! I'm paranoid now that perhaps I was watching a bird or something and not the drone! Need to do some experiments I think - shame days like that in the UK are few and far between... Anyway - thanks for watching! 🖖

Kyle (Jason?) - that is a lovely comment to read and has really brightened up my day, thankyou!. I just do what I do, and know what I need to know to do it 🙂. I'm by no means an expert and still have plenty more to learn, but sharing my journey and what I've learnt is kindof what the channel is all about ( + some of the mistakes I've made - and keep bloody making 'FFS!!! PRESS F*****G RECORD, AMOK!!!' ). All the best!🖖

Thanks Paul! Do keep an eye on restricted flight zones as one does sometimes pop up from time to time literally meters away from the south east side of the hill. 🖖

It’s important…. Definitely important 🤣 Thanks for watching! 🖖

never mind. it was your outdoor umbrella. lol

🤣 🤣 Ah - that explains it! I was worried for a second there! Thanks for watching! 🖖

Thanks Chris - it only takes a few minutes, but well worth doing for peace of mind. Cheers! 🖖

Thanks Ste - yeh just a bit of fun at the end ;-) And I agree - the only time I really go to 120m is for hyperlapses above my garden cos in the still of the night you can still just about hear it at 120 when it’s overhead. During the day though 50m is about right. Caravan park can’t do anything about it if you don’t take off or land on their property by the way, but always good to be respectful. All the best! 🖖

That would be nice, although I think they may have some 'constructive feedback' about my editorial style 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for watching buddy! 🖖
