Great shot! Love the composition :-)

Hello mate
Thanks. The sky was very dark with heavy clouds, but a bit of adjustment in editing brought out the colours.
Did you notice the guy sat on his barge fishing?  He was completely unaware of the drone.
It's so quiet compared to others I've owned.

Hello, it's been a while

You did some great color grading there, couldn't have told the circumstances from those colors. And I didn't notice the guy before you told me. It is pretty cool that the drones can be more quiet now, not to distract people too much

As for myself, I recently got a new DJI toy too. Got myself the DJI Mic

Ah. That will go nicely with you Pocket2 I expect> Have you experimented with it yet?

Not much yet, but I'm getting there. Did a couple of tests with it, found a relatively easy way to transport and handle the Pocket 2 with the receiver using the phone clip. Shame that it doesn't support direct USB-C connection though

But as for the microphone itself, seemed to work great with a PC and an Android tablet. And the lavalier mic I own seems to work with the transmitters directly without additional adapters And working wirelessly will help my plans. Me and my friend have planned on creating a gaming-themed YouTube channel, and that will be a handy microphone solution for that.

Sounds like an interesting project for you to work on.
Probably popular with the younger generations, but not old crumblies like me
I had some fun with my Pocket2 this morning.
You can check it out in the SPORT section

Yeah, I strongly am into gaming, though I'm not exactly the youngest chap myself anymore, either. Though the hobby is not necessarily exclusive - I remember hearing from a 80-year old grandmother who made (possibly still makes?) YouTube videos of her playing Skyrim And I have read that the average gamer's age is going upwards all the time. If you're interested in gaming, then go for it no matter your age. Don't force it if you're not into it, but don't feel ashamed to try either

As for your video tip, I'll have to check it out when I have a proper chance. Will leave feedback after that ;)

No gaming really isn't my thing
And it's past my bedtime now
Take care - speak again soon

Nice composition Mr B

Cool find!

Nice composition Mr B

Thanks Bussty,  I don't do a lot of top-down stuff, but that scene was just asking for it

Depp Posted at 8-23 21:57
Cool find!

Thanks Depp. There are four Marinas (or Basins, as the narrow-boaters call them)  along that 10Km stretch of canal.

Four marinas on that 6 mile stretch of canal.
When it stops RAINING (Grr)  I'll look for some more opportunities

Excellent I'm starting to think this drought talk is a just a cover up   Looks like a target rich environment

Thank you

I think you have that upside down......

Amazing shot and colors Mr. B.    If this was made during the Dawn Patrol I'd say the owner of that boat got an early start vice being missing.    Interesting that you caught the gent getting some early morning fishing in before taking the boat out for work.

Congrats on getting the DJI Mic.   How do you like it so far?  I had my eye on it but never pulled the trigger to make the buy.

Thanks, my tests ares till ongoing but as of now, it doesn't seem bad at all.

The build quality feels very solid and getting it up and running was quite easy, as there was no need for separate activation, that's a huge plus for me

It looks like my lavalier mic seems to work right away with it, so that's nice too!

The only things that I found a bit disappointing is that it doesn't support direct USB-C connection with the Pocket 2, and it seems like there is no way to listen to the recordings from the transmitters without using another device. But I don't find them so serious that I would be returning it. The sound quality sounds very good and the ability to work wirelessly easens the workflow. I think I will be happy with it

It was actually about 4 in the PM RDB, under heavy cloud.  Damp morning meant no flying so I went out with the Pocket2 instead, to the outdoor gym

Great info HGDC.    Shame it doesn't support direct USB-C connection as it would work wonders with the All in One handle.

My bad.  I know you take the Pocket 2 on some morning walks also.  

Anyway, so as it was 4 PM then you were spot on with your title.  

I'm needing some coffee.

Yeah, that would be way less hassle considering the size of the setup and the connections and mounts required for it.

Sorry there were no trains
I have caught one or two, but only in the distance.
I'm going to have to study the timetables and pick a good vantage point

Does my Witness the Fitness clip count as TRAIN-ing?
