    What documentation do you carry with you when flying?

    I carry nothing but my drivers license as normal day to day travels. I have everything I need if I ever needed it for court etc in my email/electronically. But I have no desire to have discussions with people or explain my self or have debates over the rules when I am doing nothing wrong. I...

    Do you remove the props from the MA when you pack it in? [Poll]

    Catching the Mavic Air from a boat

    Come on now. There is no reason to be tying string or line to these drones. Catch it with your hand, or just let it land on you. Practice first on land and then its not that hard. I have been landing my original mavic, my air and now my mavic pro 2 all on boats in rough seas by hand. If...

    Do people take photos or grab stills from 4K video?

    My issue is often times I am videoing something and I see a good opportunity for a photo but I can't stop recording video to take the photo and then start recording again because it would ruin the shot. So these photos usually do not come out AS good, but they are acceptable given the fact my...

    NFL Stadium Photography article

    What are the sections he highlighted for this?- Scratch that, moral of the story is there is no flight restriction around stadiums for pre season games. Only regular season and play offs.

    Mavic yaw drift

    My Mavic Pro 1 did this for a while. No matter what I tired it never went away and I would recalibrate everything maybe once a month because the yaw drift would mess up my long exposure shots.. For day to day fl around it didn't really affect my overall shots but the night shots were always...

    Grand Hyatt Resort - Poipu, Kauai

    Kaui is awesome. Loved flying my MPP2 there also, hated Maui and Oahu in comparison but even though are still paradise compared to Boston MA

    St Lucia (Part 4 - Soufriere to Pitons)

    I hiked both Gros and Petit Piton years back. Very comfortable hiking terrain where we live NH/ME. But found it to be a miserable hike, but it was worth the view. Very small viewing area at the top.

    Take 1 or 2 drones

    Yup, my consensus is I just don't need the zoom. The zoom capabilities to me are not on my top needs list. I usually now bring my air and my pro 2 because the air is so small I can carry it much easier for hiking etc or traveling light. IDC what anyone says even though the Mavic pro is...

    Take 1 or 2 drones

    Best way to follow a water skier?

    Minimize moving as much as possible. I will mix it up of different angles behind, off the side, at a 45. Waterskiing in my opinion is just less interesting to watch from above, wakeboarding where they are getting air I mix up the shots much more. Follow ChrisRogers on Instagram. He shoots...

    Best way to follow a water skier?

    I am someone who spends a lot of time filming wakeboarders/skiers. Honestly best thing I find is to learn how to fly well. Get good thumb control down, slow down all your settings so nothing is jerky and then the biggest one for me is I make a little dark towel nest so I can see the screen...
