    Clear(ed My Head) Water Beach, Florida

    Thanks for the reply, David. While the wife will probably spend more time there than me (looking for that Florida residency status), I hope to spend several long weekends there until I retire in a couple years. I will follow you posts and look forward to the April video compilation.

    Clear(ed My Head) Water Beach, Florida

    Nice footage, David. We just bought a place on Island Estates and are in the process of renovating with a finish target of July 3rd. We are going down for the long 4th weekend and I plan to fly while there. You've given me some inspiration.

    CLOUDY PACIFICNORTHWEST WEATHER, getting a flight in before the rain hit.

    Glad you found it before I got a chance to respond. I've had to do it a couple times and I'm not sure why it keeps cropping up. Of course, tilt can be fixed in post production, but I hate to loose any of the frame to fix it in post.

    it looks like you may have a little horizon tilt going on there. Left side consistently (slightly) higher.

    Found Mavic Pro - Yosemite National Park

    jah, you're a good person for digging so hard to find the owner. Based on the GPS and video, likely a visitor from abroad. We all wish you good luck, and thank you!

    Found In Louisville near Linn Station Rd.

    I was searching Craigslist in Louisville and saw a note posted mid-day Monday about a found Mavic Pro near Linn Station Road (near I-64 and Hurstbourne Pkwy). The poster said to "send me your photo and I will validate ownership from photos on memory card". The poster didn't leave a number but...

    Iceland Trip Waterfall Video

    Mike, excellent footage! We just returned from a trip to Europe last week with a night in Reykjavik on the way home. We toured around the south in a rental car and visited several waterfalls. I wish I had taken the MP, but there were restrictions on the cruise ship banning drones. Your video...

    Kentucky Drone Flyers, Outings & Clubs

    I've flown there a few times with no problem. I believe it is generally just National Parks that have the restriction. National Recreation areas; RRG, Big South Fork are not restricted. State Parks in Kentucky are generally cool. I've flown at Cumberland Falls, Dale Hollow, KY Dam Village...

    Other People's Etiquette Around Drones

    My first drone encounter was on a beach with a professional pilot/photographer. I watched and patiently waited for him to land and start to dismantle his kit. When I approached him, I asked if he had a few minutes to answer some questions I had about his MP. He was most gracious and helpful and...

    Golf in Scotland & Ireland This Summer

    Caddies are not prevalent in the US either. I've been on a few sites that said "caddies required". I've used them a few times and it was a great experience, like a barber shave, but not something I would want to do every time out. Thanks for the Edinburgh tips and links to the booking sites. You...

    Golf in Scotland & Ireland This Summer

    Thanks for the info & links, Dylanjibmonkey! I know what I'm getting into with the weather. I'd love to visit Portugal (& Spain) eventually. We're actually staying 4 nights in Edinburgh before spending Wed & Th at the Open Championship. Do I need to contact the course pro in advance to...

    Golf in Scotland & Ireland This Summer

    I'm celebrating a landmark birthday this year and planning to be at the Open Championship in mid-July with my wife. As part of the trip I hope to find a few "hidden-gem" golf courses to play. I don't feel compelled to play the Rota courses. I' really looking for a Shivas Irons experience. Our...

    No LiPO batteries allowed on Allegiant Airlines = No drones allowed

    I've flown Alegiant a few times and it is ALWAYS a crap shoot. They cancel frequently (not enough passengers), nickle & dime you for everything, have a screwy carry on policy. But, they're cheap as hell. Southwest, on the other hand, loves my golf clubs, snow skis and drone. I fly them every...
