Got my UK drone license for my trip to Scotland. We hired a narrow boat for a few weeks, and I got to try out my Mini 3 as we crossed the Avon Aqueduct. Shots like this is why I love having a 'flying camera'.

Boomerang is a great name, but I'm AlwaysAWOL. lol

All on glorious 4K video; beautiful day, too. Besides ditching into the water, forgetting to record was a worry. You know we've all done that before at one point or another!

Was asked by a friend at work if I would be willing to deliver an engagement ring to his girlfriend with my Mavic. How could I say no! Did a bit of testing and rigged up 20ft of 30lb line centered under the Mavic, 4 small balloons with 10 LED lights at the end, and a carabiner below that...

For a short answer, must people will probably be watching youtube at 1080p, so shooting at 1080p will create smaller file sizes and make for quicker to editing. If the final render is 1080p anyway, no real advantage to shoot at 4K (unless you want to grab stills, crop, zoom or image stabilize...

To add to the weirdness, the front red LED's are supposed to go out when a pic is taken, and they appear to be on. I wouldn't be too worried, the DJI drone compliance dept was probably remotely connected to your camera and inadvertently downloaded a pic from another drone they were connected...

Maybe some info from this post will help? Max speed for ActiveTrack should be 15m/s, or 33mph. Speed Priority in Active Track mode?

It seems to me people are mixing up two different scenarios. As I understand it, you need to login to the DJI Go 4 App once from home. From then on, even with no Internet access, you can power up and fly with the DJI Go 4 app anywhere and you will only be restricted by built in NFZ's. you...

Ironically my drone has just about sent me into cardiac arrest with close calls, firmware updates, and low battery warnings ;)

Nice shots of Sydney, loved the city on my two visits. Would love to fly my Mavic there (but don't think the battery would last as it's 12500km away;)). The DNG opened in everything I had on my PC (PhotoShop, PaintShopPro, Faststone Image Viewer, and even Win10's photo app) Like playing 'spot...

Paused it at 0:23, pretty sure that bird is holding a cell phone and texting!!

Flew into snow storm

Mode 1. It's always going to be what you're used to, but I like the left stick to be all about moving the Mavic around on the one plane like driving a car. Right stick for getting fancy with up/down/left and right. Anything else would just completely screw me up at this point! I have the 5D...

Nice views; videos are great on the Mavic, but I do like taking photos. Sometimes have to steal a frame from the 4k video to throw on my picture frame. Would love to take my Mavic to Australia, no such thing when I last visited in 2010, and the time before that was with a small 2MP camera and...
