Yeah, think I'll give it a miss until the weekend now looking at the weather forecast - RAIN!

They really should add a AEB-5 pano option.
The contrast you get in these situations is way to high for any small sensor camera.

Second shot looks awesome AJ.

You'll be lucky on a 400 quid drone the size of your phone lol

Thanks mate - wide angle pano - again, straight into a bright sun. Not bad for a 1/2.3" sensor

Won't happen.
But I would be happy to pay more for one that is <250g and does have it 'all'

No thats come out very nice,

May be one day we will be blessed with a Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom that weighs 200g and costs £400 - when is another question

Hahahahahahaha.
Maybe.
But for now I would easily settle for MM2+ with
- AEB5
- raw output on all pano modes,
- AEB-5 pano modes,  
- hyperlapse,
- course lock
- setting for low batt beep percentage,
- exposure dial on the remote
- More sensitivity settings (EXP / GAIN)
and pay € 100,- extra or so.
All except the remote dial are software, so it should not affect the weight. Just FW / app additions.

Nice

Indeed.
Good thing the weather has been really bad for flying lately.
I don't miss it at all with this cold, grey, wet weather.

Good time to sell (the winter).

True.
Still 'happy' with my decision taking into account the latest developments.

I'm considering my options and it comes down to either : get in the air before 1-1-2021 to take as much advantage of the new rules (before the 'drone zones' come into place) as I can.
Or sit this storm out and see how it will develop and decide later on if it is worth it in the longer run to have a drone in NL.

It is a bit of a touch decision since I have a feeling it will only get more limited in the future. But then again, I can always sell my MM2 if it does not work for me anymore.  

Great panos Captain. Thanks for sharing!

Get the Mini 2 - I'm sure new regs won't hinder drones in that weight class too much

Thanks very much mate

No problem AJ

Well, the drone zones will do that for any drone.
Since they are more about privacy and other interests (animal welbeing etc.)
But still M2 seems like the best option indeed.

One more question : can you also use the AEB option with RAW output?
Or is that limited to jpeg only?

Yes you can - three 12mp shots in succession at differing exposures in JPEG+RAW.

Nice.
I think I will try it out.

It's a great little drone. I feel very relaxed and confident flying it
