Drone Footage - C8+ SST40 & MF01S (Mounted)

Ahh, that explains it, I didn’t think about that, something I’ll need to consider myself but mostly I’ll be flying mine in almost no wind conditions in abandoned mines like in my photo below. I’m a beginner with drones but from what I can tell I can control the LEDs on the bottom side of Mavic 2 Pro by the remote. I plan to use either the signal to those LEDS to turn on the external light, or add a light sensor control to the external light so I don’t have to “operate” on the drone itself.

Hi Funtastic

Great stuff, your ingenuity is appreciated.

You know we are going to expect a drone in all your future reviews from now on don’t you !!

Absolutely, it’ll make it something alright. I need to also film the drone scanning the area with the light. I may have to reduce the use of flashlight comparisons to other models and do more of this. I kind of stole that off the Flashaholic channel anyway, that’s his thing. If I could concentrate more on drone footage around the farm and beamshots, I think I’d enjoy it more.

added video of the MF01S!

Very cool video!
Great work especially the MF01S

Go find a nudist colony.

Oh man, I got the sticks mixed up tonight, instead of bringing it back at 19% battery, it was going straight up lol. My hands were shaking so badly thinking I had lost control and it was malfunctioning. It was such a :person_facepalming: moment when I realized

Impressive picture :open_mouth:

You found Khazad-dûm.

Convoy L21B CSLNM1

That is an absolutely amazing shot!!! I could stare at that for hours.
Spectacular backdrop. You’re a lucky dude.

That is super cool. It’s like the reverse of all typical sky beam shots. Good pic!

Thanks. I was pretty shocked when I got down there, the entrance on ground level didn’t suggest it was anything like this, just a few holes in the ground.

Guys, should I or shouldn’t I, add drone footage in a review? Posted a new photo on the Sofirn group and got hammered from two guys saying it’s completely useless to add drone footage since it’s a handheld flashlight. Kind of put me off :frowning:

Should I just add separate videos?

Surely people wouldn’t mind seeing a short clip at the end for some fun.

I think it’s pretty neat if you don’t mind the time spent doing it. Those guys can hammer if they like….sounds like they lean heavily toward the pragmatic/practical side of life, which is fine for them.

Go for it I say.
I think I’ve seen those same guys complaining about IPX testing of lights that aren’t dive lights and suggesting headlamps should only be operated by violent thrashing of a head.

I wonder how long it will take the Aliexpress vendors to steal that image and add it to their pool of fake flashlight beam shots.

Impressive. This is the kind of things that people mistake for aliens examining earth.

What a wonderful shot. Looks like something straight out of a movie or NCIS, like a helicopter looking for someone on the ground. Did you use just a regular cellphone camera to capture that?

There are drone dress-up kits, to add flashing lights. I’m sure someone could very easily make a drone to fool people into thinking it’s a UFO, especially with intelligent control of spotlights to the ground. Once they have “whisper mode” drones… the real UFO’s are going to have perfect cover. :laughing:
