Very helpful. Thank you. I have been piloting UAS devices for about a decade - a new Air 3 is my ninth drone and I am studying up on how to operate the various functions. Be well.
Thanks Ed. Actually If you watch any of my videos on the DJI Mini 4 Pro you'll find they apply to the Air3 as they are both the new generation and the only 2 with the new RC2 controller
@murataluclu hey buddy, that could be a good video to do soon. I want to see if waypoints work indoors. But right now, check out this video I made about flying indoors. The principals will be the same ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R8ocZvhzL2E.html
Love this and the Air 3. Is there a way I can contact you on a less public platform Tim ? Email or whatever, just a question that does not contribute to the context of this video..
very good info video ...i tryed flying my air3 in hyperlapse free mode but i have no control on moving drone sticks dont react are my settings wrong hope u have some advise thanks in advance
OK, I tested it out yesterday. What's happening is in the standard setting it is moving with the sticks, but so slowly, you can't see it. If you drop down to the lower part if the screen there's a black box that expands and you can make adjustments. Try changing how often it takes a shot on the left, from 2 secs to 6, as it pauses to take the image, and then adjust the speed to max. You will now see it speed along taking shots.
Couple questions if thats ok? Was this filmed in the UK? I assume you have all your qualifications to fly in this area? didn't think you could fly an Air 3 over populated areas? I only ask as I'm so confused about the rules of the Air 3 with its C1 classification, but UK are a little more strict than the EU. Thanks for any help....
This is great@@SlipstreamCreativeAgency thank you - Yeah I bought the Air 3 all excited about this C1 classification. But i suppose I didn't read too much into it (idiot). Some great shots though btw - lovely video
No No@@TobyBeale-n4m you were correct initially! It would be great if we were able to fly our drones freely like this, but that could only really be in an ideal world - especially considering most Air 3 owners have just the A2 C of C qualification, which is from the Open Category. Whilst filming like this helped yield great visual results in this video, I do believe that there need to be further safety considerations acknowledged during the planning process, ahead of future flights. There was no 50m horizontal distance observed, nor was the 1:1 rule even remotely considered. Good Video. Bad Knowledge of the Certification.
@@SlipstreamCreativeAgency sorry, didn't know the proper mode names in english. I mean, which is the difference in hyperlapse between free mode with cruise control compared to course lock mode? Thanks!
@culetotal ah, course lock is setti g a start and end point but you can make the drone look at a point of interest. Free is where you fly the drone while it takes the hyperlapse shots. I don't think there is a cruise control mode in hyperlapse. 😉
THIS IS EXACTLY HOW NOT TO OPERATE A DRONE IN EXCESS OF 250g. I'd confidently state your flight is not just reckless but also illegal given its clearly within UK airspace. Say for example you wanted to fly under the article 16 association note your flying in a built up area where the primary land below is not of recreational use. If you think your A2 CoC separation covers you then it doesn't for overflight which you clearly did. Also i don't see how it's possible you can maintain a line of sight despite the 100m AGL flight given the dense urban area given the distance travelled, that's before we even mention your into airspace that can be used by low flying military aircraft, or emergency services helicopters. Maintaining line of sight mean's watching the drone and remaining vigilent for manned aircraft, not watching the screen constantly. Impossible to assess other aircraft within your flight operations and quite frankly a terrible judgement call. Drone's are fun, but remember your innocent drone flight can have terrible consquences. To put it into perpective, a low flying Hawk/Typhoon at 250 feet and 400 knots is covering 1km every 5 seconds, and i highly doubt you had additional white strobes on whilst not a requirement during the day, sure as hell are a huge help to help see them). I think the A2 CoC should have to have a 100% pass rate, way to easy to pass and people just don't know the basics. It won't be long before one of these goes up the air intake of a fast jet especially when the drone pilot is paying more attention to the screen and making a youtube video and the idiot flying it will then ruin the hobby for everyone. You lose your drone, however for the manned aircraft engine failure at that height your reliant on a good ejection (which is not good as during the pull up post injest your then into a very sudden loss of power and little time to prepare), worse case your flight results in the death of someone trying to protect the nation and also potential consequences of the jet hitting the ground. Suggust you go back to whoever did your drone course and relearn everything, airspace is no place to be arrogant - go through all the material again prior to any further flights.
@@SlipstreamCreativeAgency looked like the drone was flying over and thought both hands had to be on both sticks . Article 16 does let you fly within 50 metres was just wondering how you was flying over with the hyper lapse 👍
@@SlipstreamCreativeAgency already posted my comment above, prior to reading the rest of the comments. Funny that as you can clearly see the camera is on 1x zoom. You completely disregarded all aspects of drone safety and its flyer's like this that pose the biggest risk to people that do responsibly fly them.
@@Muddy-Boots-Adventures Yea its bull**it, no telephono, lens clearly states 1x zoom, and article 16 still does not permit flying over built up area's. More worrying than anything was he was more bothered with filming his you tube video, keeping under a tree and not keeping constant eyes on. Won't take long for someone to geofence the footage and report this. No monitoring of other potential aircraft in the airspace whislt at 100m , so within a zone potentially used by low flying fast aircraft (1km every 5 seconds). Unfortuantly the A2 CoC is way to easy to pass, should not be multiple choice, people do not understand the ramifications of using airspace.
Tim, your video evidences that you were flying outside the privileges and limitations of your A2 CofC when flying a >500g drone. You have demonstrably broken pretty much every rule, and publishing this video is a very bad idea. You are clearly flying without maintaining VLOS, and you are flying overhead (or at least within 50m lateral separation) uninvolved people. You are also probably in breach of Article 241 of the Air Navigation Order. You probably do not have permission to operate from the public space where you are standing. I suggest that you if you do not want to end up with a criminal record you should revisit your A2 CofC course and make sure that you are 100% clear on the regulations before you fly again. I comment as the Accountable Manager for The UAV Academy, one of the CAA Recognised Assessment Entities.
Yay, thanks buddy. Just landed from filming a vid on the wideangle lens add on. Gusting to 38mph and the brutish A3 is muscling through it with ease 😅 love it 🫡
