Hello,
Hope you are all doing well.
I will be doing my first commercial flight in just over a week.
My task will be recording highlights of the cricket tournament finals with my mini 4 pro. Which modes would you recommend using and angles? Any tips would be wonderful as I have only had this drone for just over a month…

Over the bowlers arm or behind the wicket keeper, maybe a top down shot too. Tracking the ball may put the batsman off.
I’d shoot 4K and crop the video to be honest otherwise you won’t be able to get close enough without distracting the players
Also don’t forget £500 fee and some commercial insurance

I’ll give that a go sounds like some serious footage.
Due to only having around 60 mins of footage they are not willing to budge with the pricing. (3 batteries with 20ish mins each).
They are still dwelling on the price so waiting now to get back to me.
To be honest I want it more for the experience than the money then once I’m confident I’ll be able to raise the price.
Only have 3 so I have told them I can only provide up to around 60 mins of footage so mainly highlights
Oh the title lured me in, expected something different

Only have 3
Take a charger they have a club with power, charge the first whilst flying the second

I did think of that but each battery takes around 70 mins to charge
Any recommendations for rapid chargers for mini 4 pro?
Currently using the standard 3 battery charger that came with the fly more bundle
It is about what you are plunging into the wall, what charger adaptor are you using?
I have these 2 at the moment
When charging do you get quick flash green lights or slower steadier ones
If the bottom one is a proper 38w charger it should charge each battery in the hub in about 40 mins (if u run it down to 20%)
Neither of them will fast charge
This is what I use

The hub will charge at a max rate of 36w so to pull that you need a charger than can out put on USB C 12V 3A

Thank you this would be perfect. How long would this take for you to charge each battery?
Less than an hour, you can also dual charge with one in the drone and the other in the hub

Let us know how you get on.
Personally I have always been concerned about being too low to annoy the players.
But I preferred to be over the pavilion behind the bowlers arm.
