As we begin 2022, I have set forth a few ambitious goals,

Fly Every Single Day
Continue Weekly Blogs with at least 1 how-to blog each month.

So far Goal 1 is off to a great start. Even with the challenges of flying during a blizzard on the 5th of January. Getting out and filming more has helped me generate more content for my social media and portfolio (Instagram @NJH_Aerial). This will also help enhance reviews and articles for the blog as the more time spent in the field flying the better the information on the topice will be. 2022 will definitely be an interesting year for the various NJH enterprises and there is a lot to come from NJH Aerial and NJH Tech.

During late December the DJI Mavic 3 had a firmware release, that included focus track, master shots, and time-lapse/hyper-lapse features. I used both the master shots and hyper-lapse a lot during this past week of flying, here are some examples of each.

Master shots

To use the master shot feature fly the drone select the target, and climb to your minimum obstacle-clearing altitude. From here run the master shot and the aircraft will fly an automated pattern around the target.

Hyperlapse

A hyper-lapse is a motion time-lapse, I used these for a variety of flights, but this video was one of the most interesting ones. The main flights that I have used it for are where the sun is rising or setting and the ice on Greenbay is moving

2022 should be a big year for NJH Aerial, and we will have a lot of content to come. Some of the topics expected by the end of the month are, Filming the Freezing of Green Bay, Our Print Store! , Mobile workflow, and Fixing/modifying a drone created 3D model.
