I am filming the construction of a new warehouse using my MP. There is a new large loading dock door. I want to start outside the building at 100' out and up, fly the drone down and into the building through the door, and pan the inside of the warehouse. The safest way to do this is backwards...

Had an interesting experience filming a golf course. 4 guys came over, accused me of spying on them and threatened to shoot golf balls at my drone if I persisted. BTW I was working for the golf course owner at the time. I apologized and moved to another part of the course. An hour or so later I...

Real estate stuff. Mostly farms and large properties but I've done a few where the property had a lovely but small back yard. The only way to show off the property is from the air. Also done video flyovers of the holes on the golf course as well as stills for their website. I find many golf...

As per the suggestion re checking first. I powered up about an hour before going live. Actually did a test flight using tripod mode etc. Powered everything down while I was waiting (big mistake as it turns out). Powered on in prep for the gig and ran into this problem. Wasn't asked to update...

Well this is the best one yet. I go out on a small job with the Mavic to film the groundbreaking for some renos inside my customer's warehouse. This was a time sensitive, one time shoot. I fire up the Mavic, controller and iPad. The Go4 app decides it wants me to update the geofencing software...

Could you have tried WiFi mode?

Thanks JoostGT3. I have Elements so I'll look for module you mentioned. I am shooting in RAW and have seen the noise reduction area. I will need to play with it more because it seems to make the picture too soft of you overdo it.

Thanks 4WD for the feedback. I'm pretty new at Photoshop. Any recommendations on removing some of the issues you see? I know it is contrasty and saturated but the "customer" likes that.

The old guy who passed away dug that pond by himself many years ago. One of the reasons the family wanted it in the picture.

So much talk about taking videos with the Mavic. I totally agree how great it is for that. However, I have started taking more stills. One of the benefits I find is the ability to easily email photos to family and friends. Videos are great but you're in to Dropbox or other large file transfer...

I wrote to a Federal MP regarding the proposed and ridiculously oppressive Canadian drone regulations. Here is her response. Looks like we don't have to worry, at least for now....or do we?? On Jun 5, 2017, at 1:23 PM, <[email protected]> <[email protected]> wrote: Hi John, Thank you...

I solved the problem by recalibrating the sensors.

Still no luck but thanks for the suggestion. I have one of those "unique problems" that seem to happen more often than not. I'll worry about it if I ever get goggles.

Thank you but that option does not appear in my app. There is nowhere to activate it.

I am on 4.0.7, firmware 1.03.07 and fixed wing mode still isn't showing up.
