    African Safari- Kenya October,2023

    Beautiful video and congrats on your 59th anniversary. The educational value is unmeasurable. If you don't mind me asking, what does a trip like this (include everything) cost? Thanks for sharing.

    DJI Please release the SDK for the Mavic 3 Pro

    Since 2017, I've been utilizing DJI drones. My initial drone was the Phantom 3 Advanced, and I've since acquired almost every drone they've released, including the Mavic 3 Cine and the Mavic 3 Pro Cine. When I obtained my Part 107 certification, the Mavic 2 Pro was the optimal choice for...

    DJI care vs. wing-and-a-prayer for Mavic 3.

    If you haven't crashed at least once then you're not flying enough. Some sort of insurance is a no brainer, especially for the Mavic 3 series. Too many unanticipated things can happen that may be completely out of your control, such as birds, wind gusts, and that tiny thin branch/wire that's...

    Waypoint changes need badly !

    For Item #7 you don't have to set Start Record for each and every waypoint. Once you turn on recording it stays on until you turn if off at another waypoint or when the mission ends. You're doing something wrong otherwise.

    First Mavic 3 Pro Mountain Video

    Is the Mavic 3 Pro recorded in 30fps vs Inspire 2 60fps? Otherwise it looks great!

    Mavic 3 flies forward (on its own) crashing into a house wall

    I'm glad you pointed this out, because I was scratching my head wondering why I've never seen that screen before.

    Mini 3 Skinnet Beach, Tongue Bay, Sutherland, North Coast 500, Scotland

    Nice, although It seems the first 1:50 seconds is out of focus.

    M3 Waypoints: speeds between points ...

    You can change the speed between 2 waypoints, Global Speed is the default speed.

    Ositalv hinting at new Mavic 3?

    Hopefully DJI will release the SDK for it otherwise it's wasted $$ for pilots that do mapping work. Fool me once shame on you...
