You seem like a good guy trying to do the right thing.... By informing the public. So don't mention the trolls on your videos. That is what they feed off of... ignoring them is the best retaliation. 👍👍👍
Not sure why you turned on me, but you used to be very supportive of the channel. I have 33 comments from you in the past 10 months, and up until I didn't reply to one of your questions about updating the DJI Go4 app, they were all quite positive. Then you turned against me. Not sure what's going on there.
@@51Drones Hey buddy a shout out from New Zealand. Havent really followed too closely but just remember you are always surrounded by idiots. Protect youself at all times. Keep your chin up and keep up the good work. We the silent majority who follow you are learning all the time, appreciate your time and energy. Cheers.
Big time. Ignore them ... But keep in mind troll comments and dislikes still boost your algorithm 😁😉
@@51Drones You know when someone is negative towards a TH-camr its because they live in their moms basement
I think you do a great job of explaining all the ins and outs of droning. Your articulation, pacing and rhythm are spot on. Very easy to listen to.
Here in 2020 as a new drone owner - thank you for your work.
The Mavic 2 series is available!!! Click here to purchase: click.dji.com/ALX5_HBsZdHZdioz3rpUzg?pm=link and
I will drive to your house and give you a hug. (Not really, but for sure a big virtual hug!) It really helps this channel!
Got the Mavic 2! Super drone!
Also watched Orange83's video. Also brilliant.
I'm in New Zealand so not in contention for any give aways but just want you to know that I did watch it and I do enjoy your videos!
Great job and keep up the good work. It is appreciated.
51 Drones. Incase you are anyone else would like to be extra safe. These lights are great for night flying, or in overcast weather. When I say super bright I truly mean it. I have the white strobe on top red on the left side & the green on the right side. For extra safety.

how are you able to fly at night when its illegal?
Being new to Drone flight(phantom 3) ...thanks for great tutorial...looking forward to learning more.
Thanks for the tips. Will be flying with my RC club in a couple of weeks at nite. Did it last year. What a blast! Get some altitude and spiral down with the yaw; Quite a light effect! Flying an Autel X-Star Premium.
Golden circle on orange... loved both video. As a grandpa of 4 look forward to learn more about my mavicpro
Good tips thanks. For night footage I’ve mostly seen people recommend never taking your iso above 400 and instead increasing the shutter speed. A high iso causes more noise in the picture.
You can't change designation between 107 and hobbyist (or the other way around) DURING the flight. You must choose one or the other before you take off and stick with the protocols of the designation you chose preflight.
Understood. Watch my Part 107 cert video I just posted.
@@51Drones, I just mentioned it because you said "during" on this video. Just wanted to clarify. Cheers!
Thanks for the tips about flying at night. The video from the other TH-camrs that you mentioned was absolutely awesome thanks for sharing
I've been doing a bit of research myself before my first flight - just ordered my first drone the other day! It has been pretty confusing with part 107, section 336, etc, etc, and not night flying specifically, but the "leash" you mentioned was something I thought existed if you want to go beyond being a hobbyist. Thanks for clearing this up for me! Also, I watched and subscribed to Orange 83's channel - thanks for the recommendation.
Great tips! I love to fly at night with my MAVIC Pro. Thanks for the video! Cheers from Argentina!
I like your Channel I just ordered a DJI mavic Mini. one of the reasons I started watching your channel is because of your left ear are you still roll a lot and my ears are gnarled. Brothers of the Mat
Thanks for the information. Very cool.
Very good advice. Informative
I’m in Brasil and love all your videos!!!! Just learning a lot with your tips! Orange3 is awesome!!!Congratulations!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great video. Thanks.
Watched it. Thanks!
Great video thanks
Thanks 4 the update on night flights. The video from Orange in Iceland was great. The shot over the cristal clear river with the sky reflection was gorgeous. Just got my mavic last week & I hope to be able to take some footage like this in the future.
Yes, watched Orange 83; we have visited Iceland and it was a highlight of our trip that included Europe and England.
It's Summertime in Oregon just went paddling. Orange 83 is keeping me indoors too much. It's a wintertime site, you might have waited.
Thanx ...great info.
Bud
Really enjoyed Orange 83 Iceland video, and your tips of night flying
Nice video and nice dalahäst!
Thanks for this video about night flying. I had seen Ken Heron's video about night flying earlier and then came across yours, Good job!
My video is what sparked the whole conversation. Ken took it a step further by contacting FAA representatives, which is good. My info was attained from a drone attorney, so both videos had very solid sources. Thanks for commenting! It's the best part of TH-cam - interacting with you guys. I respond to every single message, because I think if you take the time to leave a message, I should take the time to respond.
Thumbs up already. I seen this when I was dreaming about owning one. Finally got a Spark. Im back to review. Thx
Nice instructional video. I been wanting to fly at night. Watched Orange 83's videos. Iceland was a fav.
This video is so Minnesota. Love it.
I watched the Orange83 video. Iceland is a wonderful country definitely worth visiting.
Here in Australia you are not allowed to fly your drone at night as a hobbyist. However, as a commercial drone pilot with the proper training and exemptions from CASA you can fly at night. Thanks for posting the video, as always informative and educational.
I’ve noticed the same thing in regards to the focusing of the Mavic pro. The auto focus isn’t very good at night conditions. I’ve tried the manual focus with much better results though. I didn’t even know there was a manual focus adjustment until a few weeks ago. Thanks for the video!
Thatnk you for the info from both videos very helpful. Im a mechinac and have driven alot of things but flying a drone is alot different. I watched your videos before i bought my drone rhank you for all your help
Jim Soucie Jr I'm so glad to be of some help! I hope you have many years of fun!
Thank you. Great informative video. Its great he keeps reassuring the audience that his information is correct and accurate.....i dont like those that arent exactly sure with the subject matter and always offer vague statements, like "....you MAY..." instead of "you WILL"....lacking definiteness of accuracy of information.
Watched the Orange 83 videos and subscribed to both him and you. Just got a Mavic 2 noticed It has manual focus, that should help with the focus drift at night.
Loved the video.
Watched the video super cool. Learned a ton. Thanks for the tip! Keep up the great videos!!
Watched the Icelandic video! Wow great recommendation.
I really am impressed with Orange83 hope to learn how to shoot video like him. Thanks for your help
Mavic Pro on focusing is so true! I am a cert. pilot sUAS and live in the D/FtWorth area and is all class B & D airspace so even if I fly at night unless I'm at a *AMA field* then you have to have a waiver to my knowledge? Where you are might be E or G air space and what you say is correct. Just mentioning that the air space makes a difference as a hobbyist. I use Airmap and it is good for letting me know where I can fly and how high. You no doubt have your 107 now so enjoy and be safe and I did enjoy your video. :-)
Since Orange 83 had to pay to enter Kerid crater, I've asked if special permission was required to fly there. Our national parks just say no. But you're right. He made the Mavic Air look amazing!
I watched his video, I sure hope I can visit Iceland soon, have a good friend that is from there. Beautiful country.
Awesome video Russ. I’ve got a great deal of really useful information from this . I did my first flight several weeks ago at dusk, and I almost ‘cacked’ my pants. I agree, the MP is a totally different beastie when it’s dark and visual line of sight is so important. Best wishes to all the family.
Added 2 new subscriptions- 51Drones and Orange83. Great Stuff! I'd love to be chosen as the recipient of those lights, only if they fit my Mavic, otherwise I hope someone else enjoys them. Again, good stuff!
I watched his video. Alot of traveling but very beautiful videos and waterfalls. Going to have to put it on my bucket list
Liked the Orange 83 video. Been a 107 pilot for almost a year now. Getting paid to do what I love to do.
Love your videos, keep up the good work👍🏻
Australia here.
before I watch this clip of yours, sir, I am a subscriber of orange 83 his videos and tutorials were all great!
Very good, I went to Orange83, very good indeed! I have a mavic air also and flying in the country side of Sao Paulo/Brazil. Thanks
Excellent video thanks. Just watched the part1 Iceland vlog.
I experimented with night flying by hanging 4 bicycle lights pointing downwards as markers, on a bebop2.
Woah! Iceland is so gorgeous. Glad my TV is 4K. I subscribed to Orange83, too!
I love the waterfalls with the snow around what a beautiful site.
Great video and awesome suggested video to watch! Made me want to travel 😬.
ORANGE 83 Is awesome. Im really enjoying his videos!
I believe in the U.S., in order to fly at night you also need anti-collision lights, as both a hobbyist and a part 107 pilot. I could be wrong but that's my understanding. I bought a very bright strobe light for the top of my drone just to be on the safe side. Great video and thanks for the info!
Orange 83 video was great, I think I want a 6500. Really like those lights.
Good informative video! And super awesome that you recommended my channel, I appreciate that very much!
I subscribed, so nice people are working to help each other. th-cam.com/users/andychipling always hopeful of extra subscribers.
Oh hey Orange83 the guy who prefect at edit videos ^^ already subscribed to you man keep the videos coming :D
Orange83 had a great video.
I wish I could get pictures like that. I have a hs120 but I am still learning. I really did love his video
Hi Russ, another great video and I love the walking around. We can't fly at night here in Australia, only half and hour before and after sun up/down. Nobody can go wrong shooting in Iceland, its such a magic place. Orange 83's video was great and if anyone wants to see more Nigel Danson has some good stuff too. Thanks again. Cheers
Greg Hilton i
Awesome! Saw it!
Good thorough video. Thank you and great tips
Good stuff! Thanks for your clarification. I watched the Orange 83 and I am in awe!
wow...I'v been waiting for some clearity on flying at night, good info.
Love your helpful videos and Loved Orange83 breath taking
A year later, but I watched the Orange video! :D
Great video, thanks for the knowledge!
A great posting from Orange 83, thanks for giving the link. I already subscribed to your channel.
I live in the UK and I think the regulations are very similar, although they have just announced some new regulations, any drone over 250 grams will need to be registered from November 2019 and all recreational and hobbyist pilots will have to take an online test. Commercial pilots have to pass a CAA test to get either a commercial licence or a PfCO (Permissions for Commercial Operations), this applies to any flying from which you make any money or reward, even it is from Utube.
Anyway thanks again for some great videos, I'm just a beginner so still lots to learn.
I watched the video and Orange 83 had an outstanding video of Iceland.
thanks for all of the great info and the links as well!
Thanks, orange 83 nice video also.
Right on with the differences between the MP and MA as the MP does not do well in dim lighting.
I watched the video and Yep Iceland is now on my bucket list of places to go thanks to you and orange83.
orange 83 does great work,sure would like those lights for my mavic pro
awesome i gone dry that flying at night gone be fun i wasn't sure if it was legal thanks a lot for the info
going to watch it next bro , Thanks from Sask Canada bro
Orange83 definitely has some amazing footage and very helpful information thanks!
Enjoyed your comments and loved the night flying feedback. PS Hope I'm not to late for a chance at some lights. Ray
I love your tutorials
Russ, thanks for the tipp on Orange 83's page I just watched the film and will be watching more later, thanks again.
Thanks for the info. Enjoyed Orange83 videos. I still have a few more to watch but they are GREAT!
Awesome video from Orange 83. Please do not pick me for the lights as I am waiting for the Mavic Pro II to come out and I only have a Phantom 3 at this time.
Haters are going to hate. Keep a thick skin. All your comments were spot on! Oh, and I wish I had today's tech (and drones) during the 3 1/2 years I lived in Iceland! Amazing place!
Orange83 has awesome footage. I hope to learn from him and be able to gather some footage similar to his. Love the info you put forth. Keep up the good stuff.
Thanks
Watched Orange 83. Iceland videos. Great video and pictures. Thank you for the night flying tips, i will check and see what it has to say for Night flying in the U.K
Orange83 is awesome! Thanks so much for the tip. Great video.
Nice hotel room that Orange83 stayed in! Awesome footage too.
I fly 3-4 times a week at night, what I use to keep site of my Mavic Pro is bicycle strobe lights. Both EBay and Amazon have. Them and they come in white or red and have 4-5 different strobe modes.. they strap on with a rubber O ring type strap. I prefer the white strobes and mount one on the underside of the rear arms. They are rechargeable and about $10 a pair.
memtenn60 Great idea!
wow very nice
I always heard couldn't fly at night but I had done my own research and found out I could and I been night flying for a year now. As u I also dont have 107 yet but studying for it. Thanks for the info to oranges page and keep up the good work bud!!!
Thank you very much for taking the time to make the videos you do.I'm buying my first Drone and your videos has answered a lot of questions..Thank You..
Very nice video of Iceland. Thanks for pointing it out.
You should update the discription and ad the FAA Advisory Circular 91-57B to the list.
Visual line of sight is only one part, you also need to see whats on the ground under the drone, like people an vehicles.
Hey Russ. Yep, that’s one great video on Orange 83’s visit to Iceland. You are so right on his spot on post production editing! Also great info on drone night flights. Best of luck with attaining your FAA part 107 in the USA.
Great video vary helpful. Also love the Twins hat
It is not just revenue that separates the hobbyist and 107 flights. If the flight does not produce revenue, but is in the furtherance of a business, even a not-profit, it comes under 107. Otherwise, a great video.
so technically all the flying done in his videos are part of the 107! Right?
Another great video! Thanks. And also watched the Orange 83. Video...good stuff. Thanks
A better recommendation is to document the status under which you are flying in your UAS Pilot Logbook.
Listening in Santa Barbara Ca . Thanks buddy
Just saw your video thank a bunch for all the great advice look forward to seeing more of your videos
Watched the video.. thanks for the tips!
Thanks for an educational video, very clear, love Orange83 videos.
