Video: Drones


    Today, we will be talking about drones and the different types. Drone: A remote-controlled pilotless aircraft or small flying device.

    The first type of drone is a consumer drone. A consumer drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designed for the mass market, meaning, the public can get their hands on these drones for not a lot of money. DJI is the leader in this space, making nice, good quality drones for consumer and professionals. Some of their lineup includes: The DJI Mavic line, making the DJI Mavic 3, DJI Mavic 2, DJI Mavic Pro, and the DJI Mavic Platinum. They also make the Air line, Mini line, Spark line, and FPV line. 

    The next category is Commercial or Professional. Once again, DJI is the winner in this space. These drones are made for video production and other big services that need bigger drones. Their professional drones include, the Phantom line and Inspire line. 

    Another category of drones is FPV. FPV or First-Person view is a different type of drone flying. If you took a luxury car and ripped out the whole interior, left the drivers seat and put a big engine in the car, that's what FPV drones are like. Here is a picture of a FPV drone:


    When using this drone, you have VR goggles on your face and you see exactly what the camera sees. These are used for racing, chasing, and anytime you have to follow something fast or if you want to do more aerobatics with your drone. DJI, once again makes a FPV drone and FPV systems to put on other FPV drones. They call their drone the DJI FPV Drone. Rotor Riot makes some pre-built FPV drones or you can buy a kit and build it yourself. FPV is for the people who are filming more sporty or fast action stuff. 

Thanks for reading this blog post! I hope you are enjoying these. If you haven't noticed, I post every day at 10:00 AM CST everyday.

Video: Frame Rate and Shutter Speed

     Today, we will be talking about f rame rate and shutter speed. Frame rate: The frequency at which frames in a television picture, film, or video sequence are displayed.  Shutter Speed: T he time for which a shutter is open at a given setting.      First, we will be talking about frame rate. the abbreviation for frame rate is FPS or Frames Per Second. Frame rate is basically how many pictures (or still frames) your camera is taking in a second. 23.976 or 24 FPS is what almost all movies and TV shows are filmed. 23.976 or 24 FPS is also the most cinematic. Most YouTube videos you watch are about 30 or 60 FPS. What's the difference? The difference is how the image looks. T he main difference between each being the number of frames captured per second, the higher the frame rate, the slower the video is. The Slow Mo Guys have an awesome YouTube channel and all they do is... you guessed it, Slow Mo. But, if I'm shooting in 24 FPS, m...
