Really? I can fly three M2 batteries for well over an hour of flying at one location and return to the same spot the next day. Look at all of the different angles, resolutions, lighting conditions, frame rates, intelligent flight modes etc etc - though it will also depend heavily on how interesting the area is too - a big open field is quite boring but a woodland with revealing landscapes, towns and city skylines in the distance can make the opportunities for interesting captures more expansive. That said, you should broaden your flight locations too. I have four near to where I live where I fly the most but often take my drone/s on occasional day trips around the country.
yeah, when I first got the drones I was depleting all the batteries wanting more
I was testing many settings out over and over and over to get a true understanding of them now I just fly recreationally. The biggest issue is having too much to post-process. I just fly one area and make a vid but having multiple locations into 1 vid I did too but it's not as interesting to me. I feel the scatter is too high like that. When I film now, I just want to capture one moment and move on. Also, the main issue is people have told me to keep things short because if they are too long people will become uninterested. As drone pilots we want to make it really long but the real idea is to make scenes 6 seconds to 60 seconds and no more unless we are shooting some sort of documentary then the ideal would be around 12 minutes.
What I do now is.. when I fly I really choose to fly to a location I cannot get to on the ground w/o a lot of effort walking/running there. I have the drone with me like a tag team and send it off under my control. I see things either by zooming in or just recording up top then come back. I wish to get lower but the problem is I'm not sure if someone would come around it from the back and hit it as there is no rear-view/side cam.
Maybe I should attach the Gopro to my head again for some good b-roll. I want to get back into making small movies like I was doing when I first got the Spark. Seeing the drone next to you in the air by your head/shoulder walking with you and sending it off in Sport mode in 3rd person then looking into 1st on the screen w/o Any issues is simply amazing. The Spark is such a great recon drone but of course the Mavic 2 Zoom is better and the P4P V2.0 is kind of too big but having the option to go to places that you can't really get to like over a river to the people on the other side is really cool. If I had the enterprise drone I would be using the speaker all the time!
