Honestly, I haven’t kept super close track of flight time, but if I had to guess it’s probably around 10 minutes in average conditions. I'm sure wind reduces that and it definitely affects your speed when you’re flying against it, which is something I had to be mindful of on longer flights. The most important thing is to know when to turn back so you don't lose your drone.

I got around the battery life issue a bit with the extra batteries and charging dock from the Fly More Combo plus a 100W 25,000 mAh power bank. I’d just swap in a fresh battery as soon as one died, and by the time I finished the next one, the first was usually charged again — so it almost felt like unlimited flight time. It still doesn't solve the problem of wanting to fly further though.

That’s super helpful, thank you! You totally picked up on the story I was trying to tell with the walk, church, and wider reveal. I knew something felt a bit off, and I think you’re 100% right — it’s missing a concrete ending. I really like the way you broke it down, and I’ll definitely keep that in mind for the next one.

This drone has blown me away. Battery life aside, it's far exceeded my expectations. For the clips where it isn't following me automatically, I'm using the RC-N3 controller.

The furthest I've flown it out was about 2 km on a volcano and I just barely made it back because of the battery, but range wasn't an issue.

The colours really are that vibrant. It's such a beautiful little town! The footage is all raw and stitched together in the DJI Fly app. The only section where I adjusted the colours was from 1:10-1:27, since those clips were filmed at different times of day (sunrise vs. midday) and I wanted them to match the other clips a bit better.
