(14:36) Q: Curious why you picked Director Mini for this and boat (vs. Yolo vs. whatever else)?

(17:10) Where's the fan noise coming from?

(17:31) Your chromakey is great today! It really looks like you’re in a hotel room.

(17:45) Q: Is the phone cam going in via NDI or the Director mini protocol?

(22:03) Q: Is the DJI camera on a monopod or tripod?

(22:20) Q: What are you going to use for a power source (battery)?

(22:53) Phone was choppy for a sec when you to it and then smoothed out. I wonder if that's b/c of connection or if it's connected to cutting to phone?

(23:17) @Aaron Parecki Clamp the selfie stick or monopod to a boat rail?

(23:37) Q: What are you doing for upstream bandwidth today? LTE? Hotel?

(25:02) You only need an 18W USB-C port for the Director Mini .. and a 12V USB-C PD trigger to DC cable.

(25:29) Q: what dji contoller is that?

(25:48) Starlink for the boat?

(26:13) RC2 has HDMI out via USB-C - just can't get a clean feed

(26:30) Q: Does the director mini support bonding? I’ll bring another modem if it does

(27:50) uh oh

(28:10) Opps! 5 second buffering as bonding was enabled.

(28:20) Maybe a different carrier than T-mobile

(28:40) Q: Have you seen the YoloDeck? It's a StreamDeck clone specifically designed to integrate with the YoloBox.

(28:57) Q: did the Crowdstrike chaos affect you?

(29:55) Q. What state did you leave your studio in?

(33:06) Anecdotally the network drive has been way more reliable for me lol

(33:19) BM is also finicky about SSDs. I really wish they would update their recommended list. A lot of the ones they recommend have been disabled.

(33:24) Does the SD card thing go for playback too? Will we need a copy rig if someone bring video on unsupported cards?

(34:45) Once again Hyperdecks are sooooooo finicky

(34:49) Q: What brings you to Vancouver?

(35:03) @Aaron Parecki Are they talking about any streaming protocols?

(37:53) “Sirens” 🚨 oh! They found you! 🤣

(37:58) Q SD Card playback: How about a cheap netbook or handheld windows gaming device via HDMI? Any other suggestions?

(38:13) what about PlayoutBee on Raspberry pi it’s act like hyperdeck and had a webserver to upload videos

(38:26) Q ? • Aaron, what was the 16 x 10 Touch Screen Monitor (that you have used with the YoloBox Ultra, for touch control) that you recommended..?

(45:45) It’s a toy “”

(45:53) Q: how much of a pain/difficult was getting your part 107 in US? I've been considering it

(48:45) The video qualty is stunning. For a "toy".

(48:49) That footage is impressive

(48:53) Q: Please correct me if I'm wrong. You are using an RC-Pro with HDMI out with a Mini 3 drone?

(49:19) Q: what do you think about the mini 4 and air 3 now that have new controller and don’t work with anything else?

(50:04) Which eliminates using the RC pro. Kind of sad

(50:12) So 1.)Prop-guard 2.)Blinky light and 3.)Remote ID

(50:39) DJI and BMD are starting to converge when it comes to naming conventions. 😆

(52:47) New product coming soon: Blackmagic DJI RC ATEM Pro Pocket Extreme Studio

(52:53) Not priced like a toy.

(53:05) Q i have to leave If ur up to grab a coffee this week hit me up

(53:11) Are the prop guards 3D printed?

(53:24) Q: will that controller work weith the Mavic2 zoom

(53:29) Yes, Ocusync 4 with the Air 3 and Mini 4

(53:45) HOVERAir X1 does sound like it's moving in the right direction 1.)Weight + 2.)prop-guard, I swear you'll find the magic combo soon.

(58:37) I had no idea you could use spotlight for calculations! Really cool

(58:43) It always surprises me when I see the drones that cinematographers use with a whole Arri on top of it. They're huge!
