Drone Night Flying Photography Tips & Tricks – Light Paintings, Photos & Vids w/Settings



A “How To” on Getting AWESOME Drone Footage at NIGHT, legally! Part 3 in a series on Flying your Drone at night legally (FAA) including my settings for Pictures, Videos, Long Exposures and even some light painting photography! This should work on most including the Mavic, Mini, Air 2, Autel, Phantom, etc. Don’t forget that there are TWO more videos for night flying with your drone that cover more specifics such as Part 2 – night time requirements (including FAA 107 “DayLight Operation Waiver” that I recently was approved for) whether commercial or recreational, and Part 1 that talks about the lighting requirements including the anti-collision strobe and red/green navigation lights. I really enjoyed making this series for you and hope you enjoy them too!
