This episode covers some high level discussion on Flying Drones both recreationally and under Part 107. Obtaining your Part 107 Certificate should not be considered too overwhelming... and even easier if you already hold a part 61 certificate. I recently passed my Private Pilot Certificate Checkride and the path to a Part 107 was an easy and natural progression. There were a few differences in the material, but much of the same information. What I currently fly today:DJI Mavic Air 2 Additional information on pursuing a Part 107 CertificateBecoming a Certified Remote Pilot https://www.faa.gov/uas/commercial_operators/become_a_drone_pilotOther useful links:https://iacra.faa.gov/IACRA/Default.aspxhttps://www.faa.gov/uas/commercial_operatorshttps://www.faa.gov/faq/i-already-have-pilot-certificate-issued-under-part-61-do-i-need-obtain-remote-pilot-certificate
DJI Action 4 and DJI Mavic Air 3. Canon rumors, R5 ii, R5C, and new EVF. David makes thumbnails, and Connor becomes a diver.
I typically prefer backpacks for camera gear. But, when I knew I would be shooting a 10-hour wedding while seven months pregnant, I invested in a waist belt with lens pouches. I parked the heavy backpack, but could quickly access the essentials without adding additional weight to my back. My son is now two-and-a-half, yet I still switch from my backpack to a waist belt for long wedding days. So when Manfrotto announced the new Street Camera Waist Bag — in one of my favorite colors — I was eager to try it out. You can view this article and much more with minimal ads in our brand new app for iOS, iPadOS, and Android. The Manfrotto Street Camera Waist Bag is a compact, 2L bag that can fit a lens or two from compact mirrorless systems, a compact camera, or a smaller drone. Besides being worn around the waist, it doubles as a sling. And despite being quite tiny, it can still house a water bottle or compact tripod using connection straps on the bottom. While another extra pocket would make this bag nearly perfect, the Street Waist is a good option for minimalist photographers. Table of Contents Too Long, Didn't Read Pros and Cons Pros Cons Gear Used Innovations Tech Specs Ergonomics Build Quality Ease of Use Conclusions Likes Dislikes Too Long, Didn't Read The Manfrotto Street Waist is a small, “fanny pack” style bag that also converts to a sling. I loved using it as a lens bag for fast swaps, but it needs a few tweaks to be perfect. Hoever, all of that may be forgivable because of a $40 price tag. Pros and Cons Pros Minimalist design Quick to access lenses Comfortable Can be worn as a waist bag or sling Straps for mini tripod or water bottle Great color Really affordable Cons No SD card pockets Pretty small — only the smallest bodies will fit here, but works great for a lens bag (excluding big telephotos) There's no strap padding when worn as a sling. Zippers are not weather-sealed. Gear Used I used this bag with the Leica M Macro 90mm f4, M Summilux 90mm f2, and the M Telyt 135mm f3.4. I also tested this lens with the Fujifilm 50mm f1 R WR and the Fujifilm 90mm f2 R LM WR. In both cases, I used the Street Waist as a lens bag for holding multiple lenses, rather than holding a body and one lens. And I still was able to barely fit the Fujifilm X-T4 in with the 90mm detached. Innovations While waist bags aren't as plentiful as backpacks and messengers, they're not impossible to find. The Manfrotto Street Slim isn't the only bag that converts from waist to sling or even the only one that allows a tripod attachment. But, it sits at a very competitive $40, is one of the few options that are not black, and has a minimalist design. Tech Specs Manfrotto lists the following specifications for the Street Camera Waist Bag: Minimum Weight: 0.66 lbs Internal Dimensions: 8.66 x 2.76 x 5.51 in Camera Insert Dimensions: 7.48 x 2.76 x 4.72 in External Dimensions: 9.45 x 5.12 x 5.91 in Volume: 2 L Tripod Connection: Yes Compatible Drones Models: DJI Mavic Pro, DJI Mavic Pro Platinum, DJI Mavic Air, DJI Mavic 2 Pro, DJI Mavic 2 Zoom Material: Synthetic Fabric Types Of Gear: Point & shoot, Smartphones, Mini tripod Type Of Bag: Carrying Solution Water Repellent: Yes Ergonomics The Manfrotto Street Waist bag is quite compact. Vertically, it won't fit lenses longer than about 2.75 inches; stashed horizontally, a single lens under about 5.5 inches can ride along. For mirrorless cameras, I find the small size works best as a lens bag rather than one to carry all your gear. I could fit one lens and my X-T4 body, but I had to detach the lens first. As a lens bag, it fit my two Fujifilm lenses nicely, with a narrow spot between them that could stash batteries. With the Leica M system, which has much narrower lenses, I fit all three lenses and still had an extra slot big enough for batteries. As a small bag, photographers should carefully measure their gear to see if the Street Waist is the right fit. The Street Waist is a very minimalist bag. There are just...

INTRODUCTION Ian and Gemma chat Autumn Blum. Autumn Blum, Founder and CEO of Stream2Sea. Stream2Sea was founded in 2015 in Wauchula, FL after a dive trip in Palau made CEO & Founder Autumn realize that the products we put on our bodies have many ingredients that could be highly toxic to our fragile aquatic ecosystem and even to us. Today, Stream2Sea is the only mineral based sunscreen on the planet that's been tested and proven safe for freshwater fish, saltwater fish, and coral larvae, and has passed the stringent HEL Labs Protect Land + Sea certification All products in the Stream2Sea line have passed an extensive range of tests – from microscopic C. elegans and freshwater fish to sensitive coral larva in the Florida Keys. Many products out there now claim to be reef-safe, and some of which are and some aren't because ‘reef-safe' is not a government-regulated term. Stream2Sea has done the rigorous, expensive, scientific work to prove that our formulations are safe for our waters, making us the marine professionals choice and hopefully yours too. https://stream2sea.com/ https://www.facebook.com/stream2sea https://www.instagram.com/stream2sea/ https://twitter.com/Stream2Sea Here is a link to the Hand Sanatizer https://life.fourthelement.com/product/hand-sanitizer-spray-2-fl-oz-60ml/?fesalt=FEWSPFVIVKRKRSD For more Fourth Element Products head over to their shop using this link https://life.fourthelement.com/?fesalt=FEWSPFVIVKRKRSD We love hearing from you!Contact Gemma and Ian with your messages, ideas and feedback.

DJI to release an all-new Mavic Mini 2, DJI Pushes Back Release Date for the Mavic 3, Learn About the Osmo Action 2 and Osmo Pocket 2, Drone News, DJI News, DJI Rumors Our biggest story this week is about the DJI Mavic Mini 2. The original sub-250 gram DJI Mavi Mini is an engineering marvel that was quite well received by the drone community. The compact nature of this drone coupled with great affordability has certainly contributed to the success of this drone. However, one sore point was the absence of 4K capabiliies. Taking this feedback into account, DJI is all set to release a new and improved DJI Mavic Mini 2. Tune in to this segment of the show for more details about this new DJI drone. We also have some interesting updates about the DJI Mavic 3. The latest iteration of DJI's flagship drone was initially to be launched in early 2020. However, the onset of COVID and the lack of any real market competition has caused DJI to delay the release of this much-awaited drone. If you are waiting to get your hands on this drone, listening to this segment of the show will particularly interest you. Other topics discussed in today's show include DJI Ronin RS2 and RSC2, DJI's new FPV drone, and Walmart making drone delivery test flights in Vegas. We hope you enjoy this show!

DJI Mavic 3 Set to Hit Stores Earlier Than Expected, Autel Wins Landmark Legal Judgement Against DJI, DJI Mavic Air 2 Issue, Remote ID to Roll Out in 2021 Our biggest story this week is about the DJI Mavic 3. Regular ADU listeners might be aware that a new DJI drone with enhanced autonomous features has been in the works for quite some time now. Initially, we were expecting the DJI Mavic 3 to be released in summer 2020. However, strong Mavic 2 Pro sales and perhaps, gloomy economic conditions had put this drone on the backburner. But the latest developments might force DJI to come out with this new drone sooner than expected. In today's show, you will learn about Autel winning a patent dispute against DJI. Autel's patent makes it impossible to mount props incorrectly. And from this legal outcome, it is apparent that DJI had blatantly copied this clever engineering that Autel had originally developed. While this prop system is present on all old DJI drones like the Mavic 2 Pro and Spark, the new DJI Mavic Air 2 comes without it - which makes it possible to mount props incorrectly. So, what will the fate of old DJI drones like Mavic 2 Pro and Spark? Will this development prompt DJI to come out with the DJI Mavic 3? And, is this a good opportunity to get DJI drones at a hefty discount? Our next story is about Remote ID. The latest developments indicate that the FAA is all set to roll out Remote ID on a trial basis by 2021. This restrictive proposal has certainly galvanized the entire drone community - and you might remember how the Remote ID NPRM managed to rack up 54,000 comments. With most of the FAA staff furloughed due to the virus outbreak, how did FAA manage to process all these comments? Is the FAA even paying heeds to the concerns raised by the drone community? Other topics discussed on today's show include data security issues and FAA's technology partners for remote ID implementation. We hope you enjoy this show!

DJI Matrice 300 Released, DJI Mavic Air 2 Battery Issue, Drone Deliveries Possible Under Part 107, FAA Announces Technology Partners for Remote ID Our biggest story this week is about the DJI Matrice 300 RTK. The rumors mills had been abuzz for quite a while now and even we have been sharing regular updates about this enterprise drone on previous shows. All these speculations were finally proven true as DJI released a promotional video announcing the DJI Matrice 300, albeit accidentally. DJI Matrice 300 Specs: Superior AI capabilities55 minutes flight time12 MP Wide, 20 MP ZoomTriple payload capability2.7 kg payload Thermal option available You have the option of flying a thermal camera (H22) or a non-thermal one (H20) with this drone. What is surprising is that DJI has chosen NOT to partner with FLIR, the industry leader in the thermal camera segment for this particular drone. Additionally, it is possible to hand over the controls to another pilot, greatly expanding the range of the drone. When it comes to applications, this drone can result in a more efficient workflow for cell tower and power-line inspections. In today's show, you will learn how you can automate flight paths as well as camera movements when you fly the DJI Matrice 300. Tune in to this segment of the show to learn more about this monster enterprise drone. Our next big story is about the DJI Mavic Air 2. If you are planning on buying this new drone, you must check out this story where we discuss battery issues that new pilots are currently struggling with. There have also have been some interesting developments in the remote id space. FAA has gone ahead and announced technology partners for their new restrictive remote id technology. And this list of technology partners does not include a single drone manufacturer. Neither does this list include any organization that is solely representing the interests of drone service providers. Regular ADU listeners might recall that the FAA's remote id NPRM had received 54,000 comments from a worried drone community. Does this new development indicate that the FAA is not paying heed to all our concerns? Other topics discussed on this show include DJI M210 vs. DJI 600, drone deliveries under Part 107 and much, much more. We hope you enjoy this show!

DJI Mavic Air 2 In-Depth Review, FAA Makes it Possible to Renew Your Part 107 Online, Benefits of Flying in Atti Mode, DJI Matrice 300 Delayed due to Coronavirus, Drone Deliveries Under Part 107 Our biggest news story this week is about the DJI Mavic Air 2. DJI has released this much-awaited drone, albeit in difficult market conditions. We managed to get our hands on one of the first pieces of this new drone, and have an in-depth review of you in today's show. We discuss camera sensors, flight time, and low-light capabilities in this segment of the show. Can the DJI Mavic Air prove to be a good replacement for the Mavic 2 Pro and Phantom 4 Pro? Can you build a sustainable and long-term business with this new DJI drone? We discuss all this and much more in this segment of the show. In our next story, you will learn that in the wake of the virus outbreak, the FAA has now made it possible for Part 107 pilots to renew their licenses online. This is certainly a welcome development, and you can check out this article for step-by-step renewal information. This serves as a good segue for our next story - which is about drone deliveries. UPS has started using drone deliveries to serve a retirement community in Florida. Because our seniors are most susceptible to the virus, this is a great move as doing so allows delivery providers to adhere to social distancing norms. Here, we reveal that it might be possible for Part 107 pilots to make drone deliveries with an EVLOS waiver. Other topics discussed in today's show include the latest updates on DJI Matrice 300, Skydio 2 for public safety, and the many benefits of flying in Atti mode.

Autel Robotics Releases the 8K variant of Autel Evo 2, How Public Safety Agencies are using Drones to Fight the Coronavirus, Parrot Anafi UA for Military Use Our biggest drone news story this week is about the Autel Evo 2. Autel Robotics has finally released the 8K version of this much-awaited and much-delayed drone. Regular ADU listeners might recall that we tested out this drone when it was first released at CES 2020. Autel is yet to release the 6K and dual variants of this drone. While this drone has best-in-class specs and can be a good addition to your fleet, it remains to be seen how this drone will be received considering the current situation. Will new launches like the Autel Evo 2, DJI Mavic Air 2, and DJI Mavic 3 succeed in reviving a stuttering drone market? Next, we discuss how drones are being increasingly used by public safety officials to fight the coronavirus. While the intentions are good, public safety agencies tend to go overboard which creates negative public perception. In this segment of the show, we also discuss the pitfalls of flying under a COA. This serves as a good segue to the next story - which is about using drone deliveries for COVID testing. The drone delivery service provider, Zipline is using drones to facilitate COVID testing in Ghana. Drones deliveries can help enforce social distancing while adhering to social distancing norms. Unlike the US, drone laws are more flexible in African countries, and so they can leverage the power of drone technology for the greater good. Other topics discussed in today's show include the Parrot Anafi UA and the new omni-directional drone from ETH Zurich.

DJI confirms April release date for the DJI Mavic Air 2, DJI Matrice 300 to be in stores soon, France to buy 651 drones for surveillance purposes, NYPD seizes drone after Hart Island Photo Our biggest story this week is about the DJI Mavic Air 2. DJI has confirmed a release date of April 27th for the much-awaited Mavic Air 2. With economic activity curtailed due to the virus outbreak, it shall be interesting to see how this new DJI drone fares commercially. As of now, no information on pricing and specs has been released. You can check out the teaser here. Next, the French government is the news as it is all set to acquire 651 drones for surveillance purposes. What is interesting is that this multi-million dollar tender states specifications that seem to be tailored for Anafi. Regular ADU listeners might recall how the French government used drones to gather data when a fire broke out at the Notre Dame cathedral. This development also highlights how archaic drone laws are preventing the industry from truly taking off in the United States. Our next story is about the coronavirus. NYPD recently seized George Steinmetz's drone after he captured some rather shocking images of Hart Island, a tiny island next to Manhattan. George's images show burials being done at Hart Island. And as per reports, there has been a huge spike in burials in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak. Other topics discussed on this show include DJI Matrice 300 updates and drones being used to save fawns in the Swiss Alps. Tune in to our latest show now!
