    What do you use for editing?

    Man, I remember Sonic Foundry / Vegas - loved that video editor. Did everything I needed and seemed pretty intuitive, as I was just a hobbyist creating Home movies, not a professional editor. Now all we have are Macs in the house. Time to learn Premier Pro...

    Sport Mode,Not!

    This is key. My “multiple flight modes” was NOT enabled by default and flipping the “sport mode switch” didn’t do anything until I went and enabled that flight mode. Easy to miss.

    FAA Registration to be required again...

    LOL. Yeah - no biggie. Pre-purchase, I was doing some research to understand what I was getting into, and had the impression that I needed to register my drone. But then when I went to the FAA site, I learned differently. Just a nuance.

    Mexico Last week..

    Great pics! That’s awesome to hear about no issues flying there. We’ll be going to a beach next year (not sure which) and I’m looking forward to capturing some pics and videos.

    FAA Registration to be required again...

    Does it bother anyone that all the articles (and there have been many) say that “now your DRONES have to be registered...” That’s incorrect. You don’t have to register the drone. Or each drone. It doesn’t ask for your bird’s serial number or anything. You’re registering YOURSELF as a pilot...

    (ENDED) Wundercase is back in stock, 6 left, price raised by $1

    Oh got it. Additional accessories and such. Grab a case in each hand and you are ready to go. (Except there's no 3rd hand for the case of beer). (J/k - no one is advocating drunk droning...)
