Hi, sorry i love your trick for remembering airspace classes & their colors. However, I think you have a slight error there. Isn't class "E" airspace "Faded" Magenta not "dashed" as you say? Isn't "dashed" Magenta class "G" airspace, or am I missing something? Please let me know. Thanks.
Thanks! To clarify there are a few different indicators for Class E: Dashed from surface to 700AGL Faded from 700-1200 Faded blue from 1200 above I am doing this from memory I haven't looked at them from years. Glad you found it helpful!
Since your post, I’d like to know if you found a fix for the remote when I go to get my fly safe list, it does not come up. I cannot find it, and I cannot open it up in the settings for the drone. I know where they are the settings, but they are not there. List and I cannot fly with this remote controller. I can with a normal remote controller.
Thank you so much. I really enjoyed this. My recovering alcoholic grandpa fell off the wagon when he saw you having your grape juice though haha. He’s such a loser.
Thanks for the video! I'm taking my test tomorrow. You don't have to memorized the colors for the airspaces as it is on the legend of the book they give you but I did it anyway.
I bought a 5DS R last year, hated it, a pain in the arse! However, learn how to use it and the results are amazing, yes not great in low light (got a 6D for that). I grew to love my 5DS R that much I bought a 5DS with only 17k shutter count. Underated camera.
Since the building is so small in your composition, the fabulous Canon Extender EF 1.4x II fits on the TS-E 24mm lens, which will give you a 34mm shift lens; plus you get more shift without vignetting. Too bad you didn’t include this information.
An ND100PL filter will reduce the amount of light that enters the lens by a factor of 100, which means that it will allow only 1/100th of the original light to pass through. This is equivalent to a 6.7-stop reduction in light. On the other hand, an ND1000PL filter will reduce the amount of light that enters the lens by a factor of 1000, which means that it will allow only 1/1000th of the original light to pass through. This is equivalent to a 10-stop reduction in light. The PL is referring to the type of filter (coating) in this case a Polarizing. So there are polarizing neutral density filters as opposed to just being neutral density
Thank you for this very helpful study guide. At 12:21, the answer for class g for drone pilots would never be 1sm. It is required to always be 3sm for drone operators. The airport may be 1sm for manned aircrafts but never for drone operators. The answer is always 3sm for drone operators. It’s a trick question.
HI. I just came across your channel but noticed you haven't posted anything in about 4 yrs. From the looks of the area you shot the Phantom footage, you're in Irvine. Are you still involved with video/photography? Great content.
Thanks for this! I've been going nuts trying to improve shooting with this thing. I've been shooting professionally for just under 50 years and learning this drone stuff is like trying to teach an old dog new tricks. Thanks again, I'm going to check out all of your videos.
I passed my 107 test after reading thru the materials and a few of your videos. Thanks for the info. I passed with a 77%. Not the best. I found way more questions on the sectional charts than I was expecting. It seemed like have my test was sectional charts. It beat me up, but I beat it at the end of the day
@@BillNicholsTV I’m not 100% sure. I’m finishing up my 500 YTT and just recently finished up my Divemaster. I want to work with people needing adaptive help with movement and scuba. I thought the drone footage would be an awesome advertising medium creating solution. Maybe also able to document the growth thru my plan
I have a phantom 4 RTK that I am realizing does not let me do this or any other intelligent flight features which is quite frustrating because this model is much more expensive than the pro. Am I missing something or is the point of interest mode not available on this model?
nope - this is probably more relevant now with people that are struggling financially than it ever was. There are a ton of scams out there, there are people that are looking to take advantage where they can. Having situational awareness isn't being scared at all. I have more than enough experience to get out of most situations but the best way out of a situation is to reduce the risk of putting yourself in one that requires you to act in the first place. I may legally conceal carry and still my first instinct is to reduce the chance of ever having to do something that makes me have to resolve a situation in a way I wouldn't want to.
Basically abandoned, I still answer all quesitons, went through a lot of changes with having 2 kids and covid made a lot of changes studio / time / space wise. I would love to get back to creating content but right now I have I have a ton of priorities that unfortunately (or fortunately) need more of my time and focus. Appreciate you for asking!
