    Mini 3 Spring Forest Bathing, Bruar Woods, Perthshire, Scotland

    Lovely, as usual. I really liked the flying backward portions. Did you actually fly backward or was this done in post? Either way the serene flying and music was a joy. .

    Reusing waypoint flights

    I am looking for the same info. Was intending to do a number of videos on the same path and then blend them into a change of seasons which I hoped would be seamless. As it worked out, instead of our usual 100 inches of snow last winter, we had less than 20 and it fell while I was out of town...

    U.S. Based - What will you do IF....

    These would be the same Congressmen who have both their spouse and their girlfriend's name and number, and any number of compromising photographs as well as all their contact info with their uuh, supporters and lobbyists, not to mention the email they shared with other Congresspeople about the...

    Why is there not a Mini 3 pro section? Seems like it's ignored.

    I have both, but have had great difficulties loading updates to it. It continuously tells me to wait a few moments and try again. Also found the Mini 3 to be prone to issues regarding uploading info, which will pop up even when it is in the air, preventing me from flying it safely. When I got...

    Pro Demolition Timelapse - Cork , Ireland - Mavic 3 Pro

    Very well done. Interesting to see the very nice homes in the area adjacent to the first demo. Getting rid of them certainly improved the neighborhood. Thanks for sharing.

    Wind.....it's always windy?, and landing pad

    You might want to delay hand catching until the wind dies down. It can be bloody tricky to hand catch on a gusty day. Bloody... literally.

    Is the plus battery combo worth it for Mini 4?

    Maybe worth the flight time. But for me, the regular flight batteries are fine. I find that if I have a flight in mind and go out with 3 fully charged batteries b/c I have the fly more combo, I will come back with one battery with only one light on, one battery with one on and one blinking and...

    Mini 3 Urban River Irwell - Manchester City Centre (Trilogy 3) - DJI MINI3 Pro 4K

    Wonderful stuff. I really like the new editing technique of speeding up and flipping to a new viewpoint. Very effective. The choice of music enhanced the effect. Thanks, as always, for being such an inspiration.

    3 Flying over a giant waterfall in the mountains

    Beautiful! I just returned from Asheville NC where there are many waterfalls, although most are in places where no drones are permitted. Filmed a few with my phone, but did not get a drone up over any of them. Glad you were able to shoot this and thans for sharing.

    Air 3 Never saw them coming!

    I have hit one too, but no damage to the drone - luckily. On a related topic, I often have wires in my photos of buildings. I look forward to the software that will remove them. I can, tediously, remove them from photos now with photoshop, but that process invariably results in something behind...
