It’s very safe! Be careful to stay high enough above as sometimes the sensors can’t detect the moving/reflective surface of the water like it can solid ground. I look at it this way, there are no trees to crash into! Haha also it is something that takes practice and confidence building. Take one slow flight over water and start there 👍🙏🏻
It becomes more meh in short form. When you crop the 2.7k you’re left with even less quality. I would watch some of my long form videos on a larger screen. Especially ones I uploaded in 4k. The mini 2se can definitely capture great footage. Just needs to be in the most supportive format.
I can second this - with $500 you can go with the mini 2 Se fly more combo or the mini 3. For $550 you can get mini 3 with RC remote which has built in screen. Either way can't go wrong
I make sure to shoot in 2.7k and use the grid lines to “crop the shot” and when you upload the wide video into RU-vid it will auto crop to 9:16. I made a long video on this that may be helpful.
