    See the Bigger Picture. Could it be 5k?

    Shooting at a higher resolution than 4K allows for some advantages when shown on a 4K monitor or 4K tv. Cropping "down" to 4K allows for digital stabilization but also shooting at 5K or higher makes for a better 4K image because of the increased amount of data that gets crammed into the...

    DJI would like you to “See The Bigger Picture” on July 18th – announcement?

    I don't think a 1" sensor mavic is coming because that would cut into their Phantom sales. Any Mavic Pro update would have a similar take on 4K 60fps as the Evo with the smaller sensor. They'll most definitely include additional collision sensors to the rear and a refined and updated body...

    Italy and Greece drone regulation

    How and where are we supposed to get insurance when we fly in Greece? I'm leaving this evening for Athens and just found this.

    Just got back from Europe...

    Me too! I'm heading to Athens for a conference June 22-24 and I intend to bring my Mavic along for when I finish up and head to some of the islands.

    Don't Be This Guy

    This guy, being on a drone forum full of responsible flyers, wants to buy into the hysteria created by asshats that have in turn screwed the rest of us, by comparing these 5 events, two of which are the SAME event so in reality it's four events, to some guy in the middle of a desert park taking...

    Don't Be This Guy

    "Let me make sure I understand your post... unless I have a video of a person, not only violating US National Park regulations but also of the person actively flying the drone flying through an arch, I'm wasting everyone's tyime by posting. Does it need to be the Delicate Arch or can it be any...

    Don't Be This Guy

    If you don't have video of the drone getting to within 20 feet and flying under the arch, please don't waste our (my) time. I see a guy using his drone at an altitude of about ten feet to take a photo of his wife/girlfriend/whatever about a hundred feet from anyone else. Nothing else. "Don't be...

    Phone died while flying

    I don't know why your Mavic responded that way, but I do know that I had the exact same battery issue with my 6s Plus. I had been over water only thirty seconds prior, then flew out over a field and with 60% battery remaining, DEAD. Lost contact, drone hovered then landed. I took it straight to...

    Any owners out there from Vancouver bc...

    I think Mud Bay is good. It's 11km from Boundary Bay Airport and is a city park, not provincial. I was there last weekend and another Mavic owner showed up as well did a new owner for Phantom 4. It was amazing how many people, including two retired pilots, came by to ask questions. Of all the...

    New Flyer from Vancouver, Canada

    Hi Costa, So far, I love it. It is quieter than I thought it would be and overall I couldn't be happier. I hope to spend more time getting used to it in the coming days, weather permitting. I'm specifically in Richmond, which in and of itself is a no-fly zone, so my first flight was in Ladner...

    New Flyer from Vancouver, Canada

    Hi everyone! I'm excited to be a part of this forum. I have wanted a drone for forever but never felt excited enough to jump in the game till the Mavic was announced. I travel a lot for work and the Mavic is perfect for my trips, of which I shoot documentary style video for my clients, so this...

    Any owners out there from Vancouver bc...

    Candrones in Burnaby has stock. I called on a whim just to see three days ago because my B&H order was backordered and I was getting tired of waiting. BAM! They just received stock of base units and Fly More combos. Picked mine up two days ago and flew it for the first time today. I live in...
