There were multiple strikes coming from that one cell so I just kept hitting the button. My Mavic 3 was set for multiple bracketed exposures, but I haven’t done that with the 4.
Pretty moody scene for sure. I have about 40 exposures that are cool, but no lightening bolt. Haven't looked at the video clips to see if I got any lightening in those, but I don't think that I did. Flying the drone out over The Gulf was a little nerve wracking, but I got some cool stills and videos. I'm pretty conservative when it comes fly, don't think I'll ever be one of those guys that flies out and circles cruise ships and stuff, the risk reward just is not there for me. I guess that once you are out a few hundred feet, the risk is pretty much all the same though............
Jim, I always get a giggle out of the advertised flight range in miles/km of the drones and the requirement of being able to see the darn thing. 12 Km and a Mavic Mini 4 pro would require bionic vision...
Cruise ships would be of no interest to me, but some of the storm fronts coming through your neck of the woods would be fascinating. The ocean areas of interest on the east coast within reasonable reach of my home are all off limits to drones, unfortunately.
Yeah, that line of site thing is so bogus. I have 20/20 and struggle to keep the Mavic 4 in sight sometimes, too fine a profile. You might be able to get special variance for some of those ocean spots you would like to shoot.
Indeed Jan Arie! James has a deep appreciation for God's Creation, his recognition of the effects of light are really uncanny. He's a little ticked that he missed the lightening bolt.............
I recently returned from a trip out west and when I put my 5 year old SanDisk Pro 64gb card in the card reader it showed up as unreadable/needs to be formatted.
Ugh
Any suggestions on free to low cost recovery software?
Most of what I see is $60 to $1000 for recovery.
The card is not full of life changing photos, just landscapes, trains and a barely visible comet.
Hi Zane,
does the card still show up when you put it back in the camera? I'm asking as you might be able to connect the camera to your computer and have the files read from there. Worth a shot.
Good question Gero. I had a 1TB CFExpress go goofy on me a month or so ago. I use a program that had proven to be very re, it’s slow, but it finds the files. When I get home tonight I’ll get you the name. Might be $60, can’t recall. Dual cards man, dual cards, it’s not if, but when. Sorry, the program that I used was for a corrupt .MOV file from an Insta360 camera. I don't have a resource for still file recovery.
I used a tool called DMDE Data Recovery.
Its a rather clunky thing, but it saved just about everything. I have a very few files that are half gray, but the rest are just fine.
Whew!
The card was good after taking out of the camera and editing a few photos, I removed it from the machine before I shut down for the night, then when I put it back in the machine the next day it said it needed to be formatted. Hmmm
I tired putting it back in the camera but it wouldn't even recognize that the card was there. Hmmm again.
It's a SanDisk Extreme Pro, I bought it for my last trip to Oshkosh in 2018.
It's going in the trash next.
That home sits on a parcel of land that was once the estate of Nelson Bunker Hunt. When Mr. Hunt passed away the home and land was sold and a developer divided it into lots, very expensive lots with a beautiful view of White Rock Lake. The ground the home sits on sold for $7.9M.
