Hey Everyone! My first flight with the DJI Mavic Air was (kind of) a success! Everything went really well and exactly as I expected, except for the fact that the drone didn't record video for most of the flight time. I didn't realize that switching between photo mode and video mode can turn the filming off, so I ended up with a lot of pictures and not a whole lot of video.
The pictures and the little bit of video that I got turned out really well! Here's a few of the pics I took today as I was testing out the drone. I decided to just take the drone to a local park with a lot of open space before trying to fly it over the Brunner project or the Kingsford project. With this huge open space, I was able to get a really good feel for the way the drone moves and how to position the gimbal and camera to get great shots. I may need to get a filter for the lens, if you know anything about polar lenses for drones, let me know in the comments!
Tomorrow I'm planning on taking it by Brunner and Kingsford, stay tuned!
P.S. These pictures are straight from the drone, I didn't edit the lighting, but it's amazing that without any editing, you can end up with such beautiful images!
