Drone suggestion

[5030]

I have the Mavic Air 2 in my sights. I believe it is one of the best available and features unmatched for the price, However, things are on hold at present. I just had to install a new hot water system and yesterday my microwave blew up for the 4th time, so, over $800 for hot water and another $500 for a microwave has seen my drone money diminish at a rapid rate.
Now, what can I sell?
A good thing about the Air2 is 4K 60 FPS.

So long as you don't go down the FIMI hole again....

LOL yeah, I don't want that ever again. Good news is that 15 minutes ago I received a email from the drone seller saying that he has refunded me the full amount for the drone.
It has taken a lot of emails, anxiety and angst to get there though. I reported him to FIMI Headquarters and they took a very strong interest in the proceedings and I had also begun proceedings against him through the Govt Office of Fair Trading.
Not sure what worked but something did.

Maybe you selected H.265 HD instead of H.264. You may need to update your player to accommodate H.265. I use Potplayer and upgraded that. It plays well. Also 4K requires a good computer to be able to play it back smoothly. Once again try upgrading your player for 4K

I had a programme that was 4K friendly but refused to process, cmputer is more than adequate so I went to the FAQ and discovered that 4K was an extra charge, I didn't buy it and I forget what the software was.

bunyip, I suggest the free program Potplayer. I use to use VLC (and still have it) but Potplayer does a lot better and is dead easy to upgrade for free. My old Win7 laptop would not play 4K or H.265 until I installed Potplayer. Not sure what you use but check it out. I made it my default player.
Can't remember if it works on a Mac because I don't use my Mac much. I leave that for my wife.
VLC upgraded also plays those files too.
It appears it is only for Windows systems. Download | PotPlayer

I'll bore you with zoom pics from the EVO II Pro. Guessing distance at 1000ft. Default camera settings. No filter. Early morning.

Great pics Richard. Very nice spot. Must be a warm day. I see you have your shorts on. LOL

Beautiful. It looks like a digital zoom though, right?

Looks like some freeloader is over there sitting in front of your garage door, maybe send the dog out to bark at him.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Yep nice morning. That loafer hangs out there a lot for some reason.

What about pic quality? Any suggestions? How about ND filters? Worth the investment?

 

[ovrszd]

Oh, forgot to confirm, digital zoom. They look pretty good until the last one, then it's obvious they are digital.

Do you guys hand catch your Drones? I always did the X Star but it had "legs". To catch the EVO I've gotta grab the body and the rear props are dangerously close.....
