    Density Altitude limitations ?

    Dear All, Thanks for your help here a few months ago. I am now back from what was an amazing trip to Nepal to trek the Annapurna Circuit. I will add that despite carrying my Mavic, and three spare batteries to the thin air of the Thorung La Pass i was disappointed to learn you are not...

    Density Altitude limitations ?

    Thanks for your reply, I had heard about the inspire high altitude props but did not find any for the Mavic. I think carrying the weight of an inspire would have limited myself being able to personally get to 17000 feet :)

    Annapurna Circuit, Nepal Himalayas 2017

    Simply stunning! I leave next week for the AC and would love to get some tips from you.

One question I do have is did you get enough...

    Hermosa Beach Sunny Afternoon

    Nice video, well edited, some great shots and angles in there. Where did you launch from the Pier? The locals can get quite uptight around there, and yes you do need to look out for: Banner Tows, Helicopters and Microlights that operate from KHHR that all fly low along the coastline.

    Above Mongolia | 4K - DJI Mavic Pro

    Fantastic piece of work and I must say I am very jealous, I was going to try and sneak a personal trip to UB at the end of a work trip to Beijng in July but unfortunately that has fallen through, I'll get there one day! Great video, I like the LUTS / Colour Grading you have done. It like all...

    Cambridge University at sunrise - something a little different from usual.

    Very nice indeed, I was hoping to do something similar with some nice footage of the University I went to, only Coventry could barely give you a few seconds haha.... not worth the Youtube upload! :) But in all seriousness very nice video, well shot and thanks for posting. Cheers,
