    Poll: Are you happy with your Mavic?

    The Mavic has been my preferred toy of the year. Brought it with me to so many places. Had a great time flying and now im more into video editing. More than 200 flights and 1000 km of flying without a crash ...i love this bird! Encountered some bugs now and then but the overall is full satisfaction

    Are you thinking of buy a new drone?

    What are the ‘must have’ filters ?

    I use PolarPro cinema series with 3 ND+Polarizing (4,8,16) and 3 ND filters (8,16,32). The 6 filter pack is quite expensive. I would suggest just the 3 ND+polarization. The 8 and 16 ND+PL are the most used for me. I use the PolarPro app sometimes to select the right filter otherwise just...
