    Here's part 3, featuring the town of Eidfjord and a departing cruise ship.

    Paid (normally). There are some good keygens for it if you know where to look...

    Norway From Above 2017 (Multipart Series)

    I am editing in Sony Vegas Pro 14. I've been using the Hitfilm Vibrance filter in Vegas to really make the colors pop, though it unfortunately enhances sun glare a bit too.

    Norway From Above 2017 (Multipart Series)

    I bought my Mavic last spring so I just kept it on the 0700 firmware for most of this year. Currently I'm using 1.03.1000 with the two flight controller modules from 1.03.0700 so that I still have the ability to disable the altitude limit and no-fly zones and increase ascent/descent rates. Those...

    Norway From Above 2017 (Multipart Series)

    Here's my second video from Norway, featuring the area around the town of Odda and Folgefonna National Park. Unfortunately I was not allowed to fly at Trolltunga, so I couldn't include footage from that.

    Norway From Above 2017 (Multipart Series)

    We’re not allowed to talk about it on this forum, but you can easily find the information with a little googling. There’s lots of info on RC Groups and a wiki at DJI.retroroms.info.

    Norway From Above 2017 (Multipart Series)

    I will be posting a series of videos in this thread that I shot with my Mavic on a vacation to Norway and Svalbard this past July. I'm finally getting around to editing the footage after a super busy summer and fall. Here's the first in the series, flying around the village of Lysebotn in...

    Mavic pro aircraft locked message in GO app: Help

    I think the people who are saying they are "locked" to a particular firmware version or app version just mean they are keeping those versions and not upgrading. Using the word "locked" there in the context of a thread about the aircraft literally being locked and refusing to fly is somewhat...

    Mavic pro aircraft locked message in GO app: Help

    What is your location? I've only ever heard of that happening in the case of mandatory firmware updates (like the Spark had a few months ago). The Mavic has never had any mandatory firmware updates in most places, and lots of people are still flying 3.0700. However, DJI's firmware update process...

    How to Exceed Max Altitude for Mountain Flying?

    The Chinese video interestingly showed staring the Phantom outside the pressure chamber, then increasing the pressure so it showed a negative altitude, then arming the motors to set the home point when it was still negative, then removing the lid and taking off. I hadn't thought of that...

    DJI Go 4 v4.1.0

    I reinstalled the IOS app and updated the firmware. I still don't have an option to turn off Geo. Maybe that's just not available in the US anymore?

    How to Exceed Max Altitude for Mountain Flying?

    It sounds like the bag would just shrink and equalize the pressure. So I'd have to make a rigid vacuum chamber.

    How to Exceed Max Altitude for Mountain Flying?

    Ah, good point. So I need something both airtight and rigid.

    How to Exceed Max Altitude for Mountain Flying?

    I haven't tried landing the Mavic at any distance, but with my fixed wing all that matters is that you have a clear line of sight to the landing location. I've successfully landed my fixed wing a couple miles away in the bottom of a valley when I was on top of a pass above it (I ran out of...
