Have a mini 1, and wondering if it’s capable, and what settings if so, for a night flight.

I’ve never done one, but where I normally fly there is a cruise ship coming in, and I wouldn’t mind seeing if I could capture on video and stills.

Is the mini 1 capable? Is there any settings I should do as I normally just fly very casually and use auto.

I’ve looked on YT and seems a lot but all seem in built up areas where there is a lot of light from buildings etc.

Thanks

Thanks for those. Cruise ship although it’s good it isn’t as good as I thought with the low light.

Other vid is good when there is a lot of light from buildings etc. Think I may not now, we must be a way off tech wise yet. Wonder if newer drones are any better

Light is important for a low light camera like on the Mini. But I have gotten good results on a brightly lit shrimp boat coming up my river. Just try it and you will learn yourself what works.
