so its been blowing like 25+ mph here all week and im just sitting here staring at my mini 3 pro on the shelf. started cleaning it i guess. checked the props for like the fourth time. watched some of my old footage. honestly kind of restless lol

anyone else get this way or do you just find something else to do entirely

yeah i basically just end up on youtube watching other peoples footage and then i get GAS (gear acquisition syndrome) and start browsing for stuff i dont need. bought a ND filter set last tuesday because of this exact situation

Honestly I use the time to plan future shoots. Pull up Google Maps, look at spots I've been meaning to hit, think about what time of day the light would be good. Feels productive at least even if I'm not actually flying. Also sometimes I just play a sim for an hour or two, keeps the muscle memory a bit fresh.
