    Does your Lykus case tip over? I have a solution!

    Can I ask what model you have that doesn't tip? Setting the case down on its end is a pretty common thing to do, so it bugged me enough to fix it.

    Due to drone laws & restrictions, does anyone else feel it to be nearly impossible to legally fly anywhere other than their backyard...?

    I know exactly what you mean. I live in the Seattle area and it's tough to find a spot that's not near an airport. I can't even fly in my backyard. If I flew primarily for recreation it would bother me more than it does, but I use my Mavic more as a tool when I head east out into the high...

    Does your Lykus case tip over? I have a solution!

    I recently upgraded from a Mavic Pro to a Mavic Air 2S and decided I wanted a new hard case for it. I bit of research led me to one of our board sponsors and I wound up ordering the MA210 from Lykus. I have to say this case appears to be of fantastic quality, particularly the pre-cut foam...

    New use for the Mavic

    It was, actually...either a tracer of incendiary round. It was a surprise to us though as these were factory reloads and they were not marked as either tracer of incendiary. Sure am glad it was wet out! Unfortunately in WA I can't have any Class III toys. Best I can manage is an SBR and some...

    New use for the Mavic

    I purchased this wonderful device with two thoughts in mind. First and foremost was to capture some of the beautiful scenery I see while backpacking in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. Second, I do a fair bit of long range shooting and I wanted something that would allow me to see...

    Franklin Falls, WA

    I only ventured a couple hundred yards away at most. There were lots of bends in the creek and I was getting a little nervous about losing signal and it wanting to go up into the tree canopies to return home.

    Low level over water flight

    How do you know when your polarized filter is aligned "properly?" So far ive always mounted my Polar Pros with the ND number on the bottom and havent noticed any issues...

    Reviewing video settings after the fact

    Yeah, I know I can write it all down but I just wanted there to be an easier way. Appreciate the input though, and I'm sure that's what I'll end up doing.

    Reviewing video settings after the fact

    This is what I was afraid of. Makes it tough to retake several shots at the same time with different settings to compare them later on the computer.

    Reviewing video settings after the fact

    I'm planning a backpacking trip in the next few weeks that will take me up into the PNW alpine wilderness where there is currently a lot of snow. Since a pretty good sized snow storm just came through Seattle, I've been taking this opportunity to take some sample videos around the house to try...

    Mavic fly away, changed home point during flight

    I can't really help the OP here, but I'd like to know why AyeYo is implying that RTH should only be used in an emergency situation. It's a function programmed into the unit, and it should be work whether you are in an emergency situation or not. Once I find a place big enough to test out all...

    Mavmount alternative

    I ordered this same setup and love it, just wish the DJI mount would open 1/2" wider so it wiuld accomodate my Samsung Tab S2 9.7 with the case on.

    Which video editing software?

    You guys are killing me. I don't know what to believe anymore regarding max resolution capability of Resolve. I'll just try it myself and see what it can do.

    Which video editing software?

    Why was Resolve not good for 4k video?

    Really, really happy.

    Stunning!
