I liked this, but I'm upset because I lost mine recently. It's 1243 meters away at an altitude 14 meters. So it's in a tree. After two weeks of searching I don't think I'll find it. Next time I'll put a tracker on it

Great vid and amazing stills!! My biggest tip for new users is to use a variable ND filter ;-)

I’m just a beginner in drone photography, but into photography for over 50 yrs. (I’m 80). So, why don’t you use ND filters?
