I'm planning to go by this French Polynesia Drone Laws - it's pretty simple except I don't quite know how you're supposed to get third party insurance for a drone for recreational use. I haven't studied my travel insurance policy yet. Maybe that covers it. Otherwise it's just going to be a...

I assume that these rules hold: French Polynesia Drone Laws - it doesn't look like a licence is needed. Can somebody enlighen me on insurance (I live in Australia)? Searches have always led to a blank, except that IRDA used to have an international policy (they didn't seem to isse a PDS).

Hi. Could somebody "in the know" let me know what the rules are for recreational drone flying in Tahiti? We're going there in July. I've got an old Mavic Platinum (734g). Do I need third party insurance? Will most travel insurance policies cover this? If not, where can I get this? My searches...

Thank you! It was a wonderful location

From a recent farmstay on the NSW South Coast. Experience so far is that owners are very happy to have drones flown on their property - especially if you share your footage with them. Shot with Mavic Platinum and Osmo Pocket (using extension rod mainly).

Yes. I didn't realise that the whole thing looked like a horse until I saw it from the ocean.

Thanks. Choosing the soundtrack took as long as the edit. Unfortunately Taketones charge for most of their music, but a few good ones are still free ?

Thanks. Must investigate slo-mo. No experience yet. Presumably MP can do this. Not to be confused with Sco-Mo (our PM for non-Aussies)

An epic location. There were 20+ still photographers that morning in this location but no drones. All left after the sunrise leaving us to ourselves.

Actually, it got lost in a tropical national park in the elements for a few weeks at the beginning of the wet season in December '19 and was returned by a kindly soul. It seemed to be fine until recently. I'm surprised that that's all that's happened to it ?

Is the UV filter built in? How do I clean it?

How could that happen?

All of my photos/videos have a round blemish on the upper left. I'm flying a Mavic Platinum. I've cleaned the lens with a lens cloth, but it hasn't made any difference. There's been no trauma. The lens looks spotless. The problem wasn't there a few months ago. View full image to see. Any...

Leagoo T10. Go4. I don't think they sell this model any longer. Only cost me about A$150!
