No. . ."GOD" choices are what you make with the RQ-4! ?

(Don't miss my GoPro purchase tip in the middle of my post) We've got a big trip coming up and I was between Osmo Pocket and GoPro Hero 7. I like the stabilization of the Osmo, but the new stabilization algorithm on the Hero 7 Black seemed amazing (youtube reviews). We will be in the water...

Hello Pythons09 and welcome to the forum. I've been flying my MP for a few years now and have really enjoyed it on a number of vacations. . .got some epic footage in Iceland last July! Also got some fun footage of ziplining in Costa Rica. . .that was a challenge! Anyway, we live in the US but...

Really nice video. Beautiful area and you got some very nice shots in there. Looked like a fun day. Thanks for sharing! (Did I miss the goose?. . .Oh, wait, I get it, it's the motorcycle. Yeah, that's nice, too).

Some good info and I appreciate the replies, but mostly conjecture about how the goggles actually work while in HDMI mode and not connected to a drone. I find it difficult to believe that this is such a mystery topic! So, I am taking a commercial flight again this weekend and wanted to pose the...

Because of my work, I haven't upgraded to Win 10, so am using Win 7. The very newest version of GoPro studio won't load on Win 7 (also doesn't support 32 bit systems), so I had to go back and find a slightly older version when I recently did a reformat/reload of all software. I wonder if GoPro...

Great conversation. Baseline for comparison: I'm using a PC with 3.5 Ghz i7-3770k processor, 16 GB RAM, SSD and HDD. Asus GT640 2GB graphic cards. I'm editing videos from my Mavic Pro and from my GoPro camera, mostly from vacations and for personal use. After some experimentation, I shoot at...

These are awesome! Thanks for sharing!

I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere, but I couldn't find it. So I got some DJI goggles. They are, indeed, sweet and a blast to use with the Mavic Pro. Howeve, when I travel with them, I'd like to use them to look like a pretentious dork while I watch movies mirrored from my phone or...

Awesome footage! I love that you used the Mavic to "scratch an itch" that you've had since childhood.

No. See post #2 in this thread. It's the DGAC website for Costa Rica and I put a link in that post. It's kind of a similar process and idea as the FAA number, but it's a unique number for Costa Rica (and it's a free process). After I got that number, I printed it out with a label printer and...

You certainly may be right. I don’t speak Spanish but since it was free and fairly simple to register (I just googled the words I didn’t know on the registration page), I erred on the side of getting a number to slap on the side of my drone.

This was mentioned, but not emphasized. Don't forget that your drone is positioned by GPS. The moment it takes to the air, the GPS will keep to drone stationary relative to the earth. Because the drone is now still but the boat is moving, at that moment, it will appear that the drone is flying...

Hey, just in case someone else is going to Costa Rica and comes here looking for info, I wanted to report back that I had no problems going to or coming from Costa Rica in mid March 2018. I did register my Mavic Pro with the DGAC (here) before I left, but I was never asked about that...

I'm going to Costa Rica this week. I've searched the threads and registered with DGAC. . .got the number on my drone. I'm wondering if there is anyone on here with more recent experience. Just a last minute check to see if I should expect anything different than what has already been posted...
