    If at first you don't succeed....

    Sorry for the late reply. Yes, the replacement went well, just came in yesterday, going to bind with my remote today. Nice part of DJI care is it doesn't matter how much the screwup was your fault, if you recover the drone to return, then you can get a replacement. The DJI Care Refresh Express...

    If at first you don't succeed....

    Just wanted to post a story about recovering my drone to give people with "unrecoverable" drones some hope. I was flying around some wooded areas this winter, over unpopulated property, and my M2P started drifting slightly towards trees and I screwed up and pushed the stick to the wrong side...

    Anyone facing jerks in hyperlapses ?

    Looks good, but kind of reinforces one of the problems with the automatic hyperlapse, which is that to get a smooth picture from far away, you are talking about a lot of pictures and sometimes even a completely full battery isn't enough to get a complete circle. I figure that would be when...

    Anyone facing jerks in hyperlapses ?

    Here is a hyperlapse I did myself with minimal wind, and I agree still a bit jerky. Note that this is not a great example. I was more testing the feature than trying to get a perfect shot, sorry for the bad angles.DJI_0028.MP4

    Anyone facing jerks in hyperlapses ?

    Not sure about that...I've found the sticks to have enough resistance to be able to hold a speed for a while, but admittedly could get tiring over the course of 5-10 minutes. Could work to do tap to fly, I think you can set that down to 2.something mph, which is basically a slow walk, which...

    Anyone facing jerks in hyperlapses ?

    Yeah, I think it has more to do with the DJI in-drone stitching than anything, although it looked a bit windy just based on the movement of the grass and trees. Probably could get better results from a more professional hyperlapse software. But realistically you can get a much smoother looking...

    How to use the flymore bag?

    The gimbal cover isn't the lowest point when down. Doesn't seem to disturb it, and the walls of the case are pretty stiff. If you point it up, the rubber legs get caught when trying to take the drone out. I rubber band the props (use one of my wife's hair ties) to keep them from snagging. One...

    New Mavic Pro 2 owner. Lets discuss Focal Length (28mm on the Pro)

    When I shoot landscapes where I want a wide view on my Mavic (and can't get far enough back to get everything), I usually turn the camera vertical and shoot 2-4 photos and stitch them together in photoshop or lightroom. Makes for a good high res landscape/pano and the Mavic is generally stable...

    Mavic controller with new drones

    Sweet, thanks! I have an iPad mount that works with my current remote, in case the new remote doesn't fit with my mount good to know eventually they will be compatible.

    Mavic controller with new drones

    I know the Mavic 2 just came out, but checking if anyone has insider info as to whether you can use your old Mavic Pro controller on the Mavic 2's? Thanks and happy flying!

    Device do you use to fly mavic pro

    Ipad Pro 9.7 on a tripod connected to the remote by at USB cord. Works great, all of my gear fits in a small camera backpack. I feel much more confident flying with this than with an iPhone in the remote arms.

    Twitter feed with real-time Mavic availability for pickup in Apple Store

    You rock! Just found me two batteries for my quad that arrives next Wednesday in Louisiana. I had pretty much given up on getting multiple batteries until the new year. Thanks!

    Newegg Mavic Pro in stock

    I just got an e-mail this am saying that it shipped with a tracking number, but if I track it it still says "packing" on the newegg site with no info from fedex linked to the tracking number. Anyone know how long it usually takes to update with a delivery estimate once you get the tracking number?

    Newegg taking orders again

    As an 11/13 order for the drone only, I just woke up to an e-mail today that included tracking info. However, it's not really trackable yet because it is still in the "packing" stage and hasn't actually made it to a fedex office yet...just a label that has been printed.

    Newegg Mavic Pro in stock

    I'm getting hopeful now. Ordered mine (drone only, not a fly more) on the 13th. Unfortunately don't have the fedex service where they email you. It will be a good week if I get this on the 5th and the Oculus touch controllers on the 6th!
