I did some light painting with my drone a couple of weeks ago...
QUOTING Rod: I've made a tutorial on how I do these shots, will release it in the coming days [so check back on my profile].

TECHNIQUE & EXIF: Blend • Camera: @insta360 ONE RS 1 inch edition • Drone: DJI Air 2S • Camera settings: Foreground - ISO 200, 25secs (yes I stood still for that long), Milky Way - ISO 800, 25secs.
For this shot, I used the DJI Air 2S (as it has a white LED underneath) and the Litchi app on my phone. I use Litchi as it has a great orbit mode. Basically, I just pick a spot on the map and the drone automatically flies in a circle around that spot.
I can put the controller down on the ground while the drone flies around and go have a cup of tea if I wish (that's not what I did here).
The camera I used was the @Insta360 ONE RS (1 inch 360 edition) which has two Leica lenses so it performs very well in low light conditions.
For this image I captured two exposures from the same spot, one for the drone halo (and myself), and another for the stars.
I would've loved to have captured this all in one exposure but the LED on the drone has one brightness setting so I captured a low ISO shot for the drone, and a higher ISO shot for the Milky Way and then mashed them together in Photoshop.
