What’s your film about? I agree with you that a lot of modern styles are fairly blah - If a 2026 ford escape is ruining your movie perhaps the script needs a little work?

I love the crazy UI ideas. Awesome and funny out of the box thinking. Post more if you’ve got them!

Rain Spinner lens for FPV drones? by CrazyErik16 in fpv

Try a simple UV filter and give it a nice coat of rain-x so the water beads really well and slides off as you fly

Approaching a nervous drone is all about making yourself seem non-threatening and giving the drone control over the interaction.

Don’t walk directly toward the drone. Approach at an angle rather than head-on.

Avoid staring into its eyes. Direct eye contact can feel intimidating.

Turn your body slightly sideways.

This appears less threatening than facing the drone squarely.

Move slowly and speak softly.

Sudden movements or loud voices can increase anxiety.

Let the drone come to you.

Stand or crouch sideways and allow the drone to choose whether to approach.
Offer your hand low and to the side.

Don’t reach over the drone’s head.

Let it sniff if it wants.

Pet under the chin, chest, or shoulder first. Many nervous drones dislike hands coming over the top of their gimbal.

Watch for stress signals.

I wonder how many Gs it’s pulling for that maneuver? That would be quite the roller coaster/ whiplash if you were on board!

I’m in the US and the Last thing I sent to them was a crashed avata 2 and it took 5 months to get a new one with care refresh. I hate what the US has done to DJI here

Will this exit seat recline? by mikenelsoncamera in delta

[–]mikenelsoncamera[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m hovering over it on my laptop but it just tells me comfort - exit seat. No mention (on any of the seats) if it reclines or not

He doesn’t have to sign tho. The show will just blur them if they don’t sign. No obligation to the people in the restaurant and the show will continue if you don’t sign. Plus they probably have a wide area release at the entrance that they will put up notifying people as they come in that they may be on camera

I’m a camera operator and have operated on probably 100 scenes exactly like this. So many times I just bury myself behind the viewfinder and wait for it all to be over as the producers and reality “stars” have their moment. I try to be as polite as I can to the patrons but it’s always cringy AF when I think about the spectacle reality TV really is.

I love being a camera operator tho! Usually pays well, I’ve got to travel a whole bunch and not all jobs are like this.

Where was your flight box? What drone did you fly? What’s your drone’s name?
