    3 Using Ai overlays on drone videos

    As Youtube becomes saturated with drone videos, the drone perspective is becoming less interesting to the average person. I have been experimenting with Ai to add a different element to some of the drone videos. City Skyline Underwater

    Mavic air 2 questions after update

    One software update added the ability to disable sideways flight, that option is on the Safety tab. I'm willing to bet that is your issue.

    Fog Harbor - need more angle suggestions

    What if you start far enough away that a ship is not visible or barely visible in the fog and fly closer to reveal the ship...or reverse the process I described. I liked the video...very cool.

    Mavic Air 2 - Disappointing Video Quality During Panning

    I've noticed something similar with my MA2 but to be honest, I try to avoid panning in my drone videos. Personally, when you pan with a drone it feels less cinematic and more like security camera footage to me. This was feedback I got on one of my first drone videos and it always stuck with me.

    Flying on Oahu

    I was there a few weeks ago, amazing. Besides the obvious restricted airspace around the airports you are not allowed to launch, land or operate a drone in a state park....think Diamond Head. I'm not going to lie, there were these white birds in the area around Waikiki beach and downtown...

    😆Mini 4 Pro

    I hope you are correct. I got the MA2 when it was released and didn't upgrade to the Air 2s. I would really like to see the Air 3 released in 2022 as my MA2 does not do as well in low light conditions compared to the 2s.

    Air 2s Driving along the Million Dollar Hwy in Colorado

    Awesome pix! I really like it.....it is not easy to get a panoramic picture to look natural but you nailed it.

    Diamond Head, Hawaii - Feedback wanted on Format Choice

    You are not piling on, you are just confirming what I thought....the long flight format does not build suspense. My gut said 5-10 second clips was the way to go but I wanted to try something different and it didn't plan out. Thanks for the input.

    Diamond Head, Hawaii - Feedback wanted on Format Choice

    Thanks for the feedback. You confirmed mostly what I was thinking but was trying something different with a slow flight and longer clip to build suspense. It was an idea sparked from a conversation with someone who was talking about their hot air balloon ride so I thought I would try and...

    Diamond Head, Hawaii - Feedback wanted on Format Choice

    Typically, I think drone videos work best in a series of quick 5-10 second clips to keep the audience engaged. For this video, I decided to switch formats and showcase the area in one continuous shot that is intentionally slow to build suspense and give the audience a peaceful experience, like...

    Express Care Refresh Madness

    I sent my MA2 to DJI under Express Care Refresh and a replacement (no crash, mechanical issue with the gimbal) was promptly mailed out. Unfortunately, the replacement MA2 was defective right out of the box....the camera was broken and I never even launched the drone. Customer service...

    Pairing a new controller question

    Yes. you can pair a controller with "another" drone assuming the models are compatible. I have used my care refresh on the Mavic Air 2 twice and only got a new drone, not a new controller. BTW, both care fresh cases were not my doing it was simply a problem with the gimbal or camera itself.

    Lost Air2s

    Congrats on locating the drone. There are some very valuable lessons here in terms of settings when a connection is lost. Do you hover or RTH? If you RTH, is the height set appropriately for your surroundings? You really need to take these things into consideration based on how and where you...
