    3 Cool Foggy Photo

    This is the way. Very creative use of a drone to make a super image - and really no clue that it was taken by a drone. If you're using Photoshop, look into Topaz Labs "Sharpen AI" filter. Does an amazing job of both sharpening and noise reduction; perfect for anyone using their drone for...

    Using a iPad with the mini 2

    I'm getting my new Mini 2 next week, and just discovered that my phone (Samsung A10) will not work with the fly app. 32 bit and not listed on the Mavic website. I cannot afford to get another phone and plan BUT I do have an iPad 6.25" x 9.5" (7th gen, lots of memory) and have seen that there are...

    Hello from Los Angeles

    HA! "Analysis Paralysis"! I'm stealin' that! I can't argue with your logic, because I took that very same road you described. including at least 200 YouTube videos I finally ordered the Air 2 for the same reasons (I'm a professional photographer, 40 years) but the day AFTER I ordered it I ran...

    Greetings from Eugene Oregon!

    Thanks! Your advice is also my plan. Looking around my small town here in Oregon I have been AMAZED by how many power lines appeared the day after I ordered my Mini 2! And I have already made note not to fly under trees or anything else that might impede it if the RTH is under it. Lucky to be...

    Greetings from Eugene Oregon!

    Well, not actually Eugene, but a small town 20 minutes north. I've been a professional photographer (and also cinema buff) for 40 years, and with the capabilities and price-point of drones these days I decided that learning to competently fly one would get it off my bucket list. So, my Mini 2...

    Noob on the Oregon Coast

    I'm in Junction City and also expecting my Mini 2 April 8, 2021. (I give the year because it seems that lots of the posts on the Oregon forum are several years old. )I'm fortunate to have a large open space in the city within walking distance and surrounded by lots of open farmland and vineyards...
