Well, with the holiday fast approaching, I have my orbits set. Obstacles checked in the area. Batteries charged. Tablet charged. Cards formatted and the case packed.
Any good tips on shooting fireworks with the P3? I mean other than the obvious of stay the hell out of the way of the fireworks. My orbit is set at 1400' radius from the launch area which should keep the drone near the back or outside the area crowd zones (not flying over crowds). Initially I have the altitude set at 200' just as a SWAG as to a starting altitude.
I also plan to apply white duct tape over the rear LEDs so its not a distraction to the spectators. I can always enable the front red ones when I need to bring it home for landing and battery/card changes.
Any thoughts on altitudes or initial exposure settings? I would think manual to keep it from blooming with the fireworks shots. Yall think the 200' starting altitude is a good guess? I can go down to 150' but I am getting really close to some power lines at that height and I would rather have the extra 50' margin of safety.
