First light

[Jameel Hyder]

A couple of days ago, the grey clouds parted a bit to some nice light. The low fog was still around however that added to the views. Took a bunch of shots before the battery ran out. In my enthusiasm I had forgotten to switch the battery to one with full charge. By the time I brought it down, swapped the battery and launched it, the main show was almost over. Regardless I got a few nice shots, so no complaints.

Downtown Seattle is visible to the left and Mt Baker to the right.

C&C Welcome

Beautiful shot and the background story every drone pilot can relate to. Thanks for sharing

The low fog layer does a great job of hiding the suburbs. Nice sunrise colors.

I have noticed the batteries for the M3 series will loose roughly 20-25% of their charge if left sitting for about a week.

Thanks Tim. Its the first time I ran into this and hopefully lesson learnt.

Thanks Alan. The fog is a daily occurrence here for the past several weeks now and adds a dimension to the image.

All the DJI batteries have BMS (battery management system) built in and they call it smart batteries. The idea behind discharging if unused is to extend the battery life. After about a week you are down to about 60%. Even EVs (as in vehicles) recommend to not charge the batteries to 100% unless one is planning a long road trip for the same reason.

The Smart BMS does exactly what its supposed to - I just have to keep on top of when I last charged my battery collection before I dash out the door expecting a full one for a flight.
