beautiful but Fall? That's long gone here. 2" of snow and more on the way.

I used to do a great deal of hiking in the wilderness (serious Alaskan wilderness) off trails, grizzly country, a week or more at a time, yada yada, but now at 74 that's all over. I also was a full time hang glider pilot - as close to superman nonsense as you can get but now... :) . I've also...

I agree with all of that and keep in mind that even a lesser computer will run 4K with no problem by using Proxie files. I have edited 4k with computers that would fall far under the mark described here. The RAM is super important as is a fast drive and running your files of a fast external...

I just got my Mini 5 Pro. I have a 4 also. I got it because repairs are next to impossible and droning is my big hobby at this time. digibud . I don't want to wait 6-9months for a repair so I kept my Phantom 3 when I got my Mavic Pro and my FPV when I got my Avata 1 and kept my Avata1 when I...

Just caught this tread today, Oct 27. I ordered a Mini 5 Pro from that seller on Oct 19 with "no tariff" marked and I did indeed pay no tariff. I have ordered from him in the past too so I think he is reliable and for what ever reason is now having to send them with tariff expected to be paid...

thanks. 360 vids are by far the most fun to edit with so many possible views.

Soon sunlight will be a vague recollection. (actually we still get about 4 hours of twilight at the darkest here in North Pole).

I have both. Here's my two cents. I -do- like having both but that isn't the question. The Mavic 4 Pro is, without a doubt the more capable drone due, to a great degree, to its' size and power. You will most likely find plenty of circumstances where the 4 will be able to fly and the Mini won't...

I have found 16 and 64 to be most commonly used ND filters. You have to really hit the correct filter with the drones that have a fixed aperture and for the life of my I can't figure out why DJI chose those strengths for the Mini 5 Pro. I have never used a 128. I've used a 1000 for stills of...

I paid what was quoted to yeah... they must have paid them. I am told the tariffs are set by the declared value of the item and some folks get around it by declaring a low value. I don't know if it's true but I do know some ebay sellers state that tariff is included in price and others warn you...

FWIW this is my second ebay purchase from 102_store, sometimes showing as 102_store00 and I'm very satisfied. I ordered a Mini 5 Pro combo on Oct 19 and it is here on Oct 22. Three days from order to door. It's one of the very few times when an order from Alaska has an advantage as it...

I even knew that even if I couldn't have laid it out so well but somehow got lazy. Thanks for the correction.

I was about 15 feet over a moving stream so the water was no smooth clear surface and my Mavic 3 Pro flipped over and dove into the water for no apparent reason. I have read several times that 30 feet is a suggested safe height. I have also flow low over nice clear lakes with no problem at all...

while there is of course no best setting, the use of dlog or dlog m is a huge factor that will provide a better original from which to work in post regardless of whatever settings you use. Of course it assumes knowledge of LUTs and color grading but it's the one thing I can tell you that will be...

yes - to several sd cards. It's clearly some unusual bug but now that I was able to clear it - in a manner that was entirely a quirky guess...I'm a happy camper, particularly since I gave up on it and ordered yet another drone :) so my Mini 4 pro will now join my backup crew like my Mavic 3 and...
