    After TikTok ban passage, the prospect of a DJI ban is looking more likely

    That is a very reasoned perspective. There are so many things one could panic over at the moment, my DJI drones are way down the line. I wouldn't choose to toss them out, but they have paid for themselves many times over and will continue to while the debate rages, then, whatever happens, I'll...

    The gear isn't inexpensive, but your talent and hard work deserves the best tools! Your technique is absolutely flawless. All that over ester work makes my knees weak.........;)

    Beautifully done! What equipment do you use for the on deck clips?

    Question about Flying in Winds

    I can't give you advice on your Air 3, but I can tell you that these drones will handle more than you would think. I fly an I2 and a Mavic 3 . Just got back from an oilfield assignment in far West Texas and winds were anywhere from 20 to 55 mph, the Mavic 3 handled them all. Battery consumption...

    Anyone have experience with the DJI Mavic 3 Pro Wide-Angle Lens accessory?

    I have found the wide angle lens for my Mavic 3 indispensable. There is some sacrifice in sharpness, but not a deal breaker for most applications. The lens I use is DJI's product.

    Drone may have caused B-17 and P-63 collision at Wings Over Dallas

    I shoot that show every year for the CAF, no drone was flying in that airspace, period. The image is way too fuzzy to determine what that object is, but I'd put money on it being one of the zillion Turkey Vultures that ride the Texas thermals in the afternoon. The cause of the accident is clear...

    Mavic 3/RC II Recording Issue

    I'm sure that I must have tapped something inadvertently to cause this to happen, but I'll be darned if I can find it to untapped it. Yesterday I flew a dozen flights with my new Mavic 3/RCII set up. Half the flights are on my SD card that was in the Mavic 3 and the rest are on the controller. I...

    First Firmware Update /Connecting the Mavic 3 with the RC Pro

    I booted up the new Mavic 3 with the the stock controller, then the RC Pro arrived today. I paired it with the Mavic and it asked to do another firmware update. Last time I looked at the RC Pro it was telling me the update was at 91%. The controller appears to have shut off , but the Mavic 3 is...

    When looking at UAV forecast, should I be concerned too much about wind gust speed?

    Wind is part and parcel of the flying experience, regardless of the type and size of the aircraft. Experience is your best guide, fly in various wind conditions, build up from light winds to conditions that are a bit more robust. You will develop a feel for how the drone is affected and what you...

    US Retailers and stock

    I was hot on ordering one, but the more that I thought about it, the more I began leaning toward the Mavic 3 so I picked a Fly More version of the 3 yesterday. I've been thinking about having a capable drone that is a bit more transportable than my Inspire 2 X5s , but in the end I decided that...

    Low light video from Mini 3 Pro is that good! Watch my teaser shot at blue hour.

    Very nicely done. I have been bouncing back and forth between Mini3 and Mavic 3 reviews for a week now and still can't decide. I fly an I2 X5s and a P4Pro, but would like to have a drone that isn't such a pain to transport. Quality is important to me so I don't want to sacrifice for expedient...
