Thanks. Chris

My first attempt at a two colour light painting. I had to run the mission twice - once for the stem and leaves and a second time for the flower. The two images were then combined in post. Chris

Another one from tonight!

I started out light painting with these Polar Pro lights. They were white on one side and red on the other. You could not change the colour. Then I moved to the Ulanzi cubes which came with lots of colour gels to change the colour. The problem I had was finding mounts for the lights since...

That’s a nice shot. What drone was used? What kind of lights did you attach? If you have Litchi you should give Wes’s Mission Rotator a try. It has been a game changer for me. Chris

You’re welcome.

There are lots of examples of drone light painting on the internet. I have been doing it for a few years, mostly spirals and orbits but it wasn’t until I discovered @DJ Wes mission utilities that I really started to see the potential. It has breathed new life into my P3S and I have been using...

Here's another one from tonight. This image has over 99 waypoints so the drone has to pause to upload the second batch of waypoints. Tonight there was strong wind gusts of around 30km/h. Even though my P3S can handle a stiff wind, it's not the best conditions for light painting. Decided to paint...

I could share the missions on the Mission Hub but both of the photos I posted above are created from licensed Adobe stock images (line drawings). I have a free account and have 10 free credits so I have a licence to use those images as long as I don't sell them, so I don't think it would be wise...

Thanks.

Thanks

Before I discovered Wes’s Litchi Mission Utilities and Mission Rotator my Light Painting was basically limited to doing spirals and circles. Mission Rotator changed everything - I could now take simple line drawings and convert them to a waypoints mission for light painting, which is something I...

Generic batteries are still available. I just purchase a new PowerExtra battery off Amazon.ca for my Phantom 3 Standard. Chris

If you were replacing a Phantom 3 series drone and have existing batteries etc. it might be worth it but if you are just starting out I would look at one of the Mini drones like the Mini 2 SE ($279) or the Mini 3 ($335). They are new with full warranties and support. Chris

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you can find another reputable source. I know there are lots listed on eBay but I have never ordered any from there. Might be an option if you can't find any other source. Good luck! Chris
