    it's been a while since I've driven to Whitehorse...

    No more American made drones?

    Apparently China has had enough of our stupidity and decided to tighten their own screws. It must makes me chuckle. Skydio (however it's spelled) must be grimmacing. Intensification of the trade war: China blacklists US drone companies

    Obstacle sensors dont work

    Not just good light, but something with contrast. A blanket of snow or anything lacking contrast defeats those sensors I get warnings on almost every flight when I launch into winter time because I’m invariably in an area that is simply surrounded by pure white snow and oddly be warning I get is...

    3 The Eastern Alaska Range

    The eastern Alaska Range viewed from the Richardson Highway on an exceptionally clear day. Shot with the Mavic 3 Pro telephoto lens. 100 bracketed images combined in Adobe Lightroom.

    DJI Flysafe says they are longer locking restrictions 1 mile from a regional airport

    Connect your controller to your computer and run the DJI app..which for most people is DJI Assistant 2(Consumer Drones Series). Try updating through that method.

    What drone do you use the most?

    mav3 pro then Avata 2. I also have a mav3, Avata, FPV and Mini 4 Pro but the Mav3Pro and Avata 2 definitely get most of the air time at this point.

    3 Eastern Alaska Range - Another Look

    thanks for the compliment. very aware of Tundra. Chad comes or came to the state fairs each year so a lot of Alaskans have had the chance to meet him.

    Dilemma- I'm 86 and my M3 is out of Care Fresh today

    I rarely use my Mav3 since I have the Mav3 Pro but it's nice to have a backup. I kept my Avata in spite of having the Avata 2. I let friends use both my Avata and Mav 3 at times.... If you don't need the money...just keep it :).

    3 Iditarod Dog Sled Race 2025

    that was in my mind when filming...not a lot of videos with rest stops as a part of the video

    3 Iditarod Dog Sled Race 2025

    It was +15F when we were filming. That's actually a bit hot for the dogs but perhaps better than some years. I manned a checkpoint at the old town of Iditarod years ago and slept out with no tent at -40F. That was a few cold nights.

    3 Iditarod Dog Sled Race 2025

    As I'm sure you realize the drone can't get any sound so I put my iPhone out on the hood of my car and recorded the dogs barking for a long time and just spliced that in :). Although it's fake...I think it worked well for most folks.
