New Drone Community

in Drone2 years ago

Starting a new Drone community. Just simply called Drone. There have been a few other named ones in the past, but the names were long, they weren't maintained, or just didn't get much membership going. I'm hoping to change that use a name that's easy for folks to remember, and generate some new interest.

I've been a regular user on Hive (and the previous S word) for several years now. I'll be posting, monitoring (typically daily), and upvoting decent posts. I'll even give a go at some contests and rewards maybe to help get this off the ground. Please consider joining our new community even if you just like to look at drone photos, arial photography. There are some amazing landscape, nature photography, and thrilling FPV pics and videos that are great to see even if you're not into flying yourself.

Here's a start of some recent ones from this week.
Let's start with video of Enosburg Falls, Vermont waterfall.

This was taken with DJI Mavic 3. There was a 20-25mph wind blowing, and I can't believe how stable it was able to hover itself and let me spin around to get the shots.

This is awesome!I don’t have a drone, but I’ll join just to check out all the cool footage :)

EDIT: I’m in the club now.

And it looks like you’re off to a competitive start at getting this community to take flight!

Awesome, thanks for joining and welcome aboard! I often spot random drone posts out there and am glad we can have a common place to tag, view, and vote on together!

This community makes me want to convince my friends who fly drones to be here in Hive! Hope they give Hive a try!

Invite them to join! If they are not on hive yet, the new ecency.com front end makes it very easy to sign up and to earn points for folks just starting out!

I suppose I have to finally buy one! :D
To be honest, my soul is resisting to break my camera-eye-hand bond personal photographer understanding :D

Get one with the "Smart Controller" or "RCPro" remote instead of just using the stock cellphone controller. It has a feel to it very similar to a decent DSLR body :) and similar multiple control buttons. The models designed for photo's also allow for quite a bit of manual exposure settings should you want to experiment. The new perspectives and positions you can place the drone into are fantastic, and very hard to replicate with a normal camera. For example this one I was hovering in the middle of the river and about 15 feet over the water. Very hard to do, even if you were to take a boat, it would be bouncing and thrashing in that rough water. It's not always about going 400 feet up in the air. I would love to see some drone work from you given all your other wonderful shots. pxl_20220226_165154177.jpg

Thanks a lot for the advices. Knowing myself, I'll probably spend a week to research and an hour to actually buy one :D Finding the best balance of price and features will be quite hard, in this currently fucked up world, but the full manual control for the photos is a must for me. I don't know how the drones cope with RAW format, I'll look up into this as well.

Look at the DJI Mavic2 Pro and the DJI Mavic3 or Autel Evo II for camera comparisons. They seem to be the few that will satisfy the quality and control needs. These higher end can shoot in Raw + jpg, but sometimes have to give up RAW for some of the "smart" features. The Mavic 3 can even go 8K video if you really want to play in that space.

Great, I'll do, thanks so much for saving me some time :)
Yeah, it's always like that - it's either the cool effects or the quality.

!ALIVE

@ksteem! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @lightcaptured. (2/10)

The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want.

The drone has my respect! Steady as a rock! To be able to hover in 25 mph wind, then spin it around? Impressive dealie.

These shots are fabulous and I want to wish you much luck with your new community!

Drone on!

I must say it was the highest wind I've flown this one in and I was impressed. I was having second thoughts, but figured I would give it a try since I wasn't flying very far out and could keep a close eye on it with plenty of safe places to land in almost any direction (except the water!) I flew my previous drone in 30 mph winds and it really struggled to not get blown away. This thing is a beast, it had no problems at all hovering or flying into the wind.

@tipu curate

Thanks for joining D!

It's my pleasure!
