  1. New thing yesterday. Drone club.

    I won't be going to this particular one again. I won't name and shame but despite being "open to all" it turned out very cliquey and unless you had a ££££ FPV racing drone you had very little flying time or attention directed your way.

    Amusingly, one of the committee who unloaded a £3,000 drone out of a £1,000 car sneered at my choice of device, meanwhile I loaded a £500 drone out of a £50,000 van. Yeah let's talk about poor choices eh? Also, laughing cos I've got a DJI Neo as a cool vlogging drone is just an insult.

    Sorry that's not my way, using financial status as an insult; I am the sort of person who does not judge a person by their worth but by their value as a human.

    Finally, calling me "leatherman" rather than my real name was a bit insulting. I'm on the committee of a well respected charity and I learn the names of prospective members! Yes I wear leather, but I'm also bald, pierced, and a tiny bit scary to look at. Would you call someone who was a little bit camp "poofter" because I got the feeling you would.

    I wonder if they'll reach out when I don't go back?

    I'll definitely point them at this Fediverse post when they do.

    So in essence; the local drone club? A bit shite.

    I've got another one to try in a couple of weeks. Let's see how that goes eh?

  2. I tried circle mode on my drone set to close and low. It gives a really cool effect, although the pretty poor lighting (about half an hour away from sunset) really didn't do the video quality any favours.

  3. Hold up, DJI's Neo 2 is here, and it's packing LiDAR, 4K/100fps video, and a 'Hitchcock zoom' mode? All in a budget-friendly package that won't require FAA registration. They even made it *quieter*! Might be the best personal drone we've seen in a while, US ban notwithstanding.

    If you could add one 'cinematic' shot mode to a drone, what would it be?
