    HOW TO: Setup and use Waypoints

    You can use DJI Ground Station Pro to setup waypoints and actions then fly the route autonomously. Each point can be edited for camera angle, position, height, etc.

    DroneBase Getty Images

    I have been paid $15 each for several videos submitted to Drone Base, but NOT all of those videos have been accepted by Getty. I viewed that as a royalty/incentive to submit videos to Drone Base, not because the video sold. Again, I got payed for videos that did not get accepted by Getty. My...

    Flying in state parks in Ohio ???

    Auto takeoff

    I have used auto takeoff almost exclusively, and it has worked perfectly every time. It allows me to focus on camera settings and verify home point, sensors, etc, while monitoring the birds control characteristics. I for one enjoy the ease of lift off and hover.
