    Planning a risky flight and have some questions.

    Dang, what an evil bend right in the middle of the bridge. Any idea of the engineering reason why they did that.

    Change.org Petition: Cruise Companies, please reconsider the ban on bringing Drones aboard

    I gladly signed this petition. I am going on a cruise next month to Iceland and several Baltic countries. At the wife's insistence, I emailed the cruise line (Regent, an NCL brand) asking about their drone policy. I was told that, per company policy, drones are not allowed on the ship. My...

    Hurst Castle on hot summer day.

    Nice work. I was expecting something different until I read your title more carefully. I was thinking "Hearst" Castle in California. Anyhow, good job.

    Couple of questions

    To me the hardest part of this shot is smoothly controlling the gimbal. Up and back is pretty easy. I've been experimenting with using active track in spotlight mode. That mode controls yaw and gimbal so all you have to worry with is up and back. Once you get far enough away active track...

    Mavic Pro Rescues Mavic Pro in 50ft Tree!

    That was cool AF. What was plan B if you hooked one of the branches? Chris Rollins had a video where he has a little radio controlled box that fits under a drone that can release a payload at the push of a button. I'm waiting to see somebody cleaning the leaves from their rain gutters with...

    BEAUTIFUL NATCHEZ TRACE BRIDGE - DJI MAVIC PRO - 4K

    Very nice video. I don't mean to be a buzz kill but as a nearby resident, the bridge is clearly marked as a no fly zone.

    Up and away?

    Using active track, spotlight mode can help a subject pinpointed as you fly back and up. Active track seems to cut off once the mp gets far enough away but at that point the subject is small enough that it doesn't matter

    MavMount Review

    I've been using the Mavmount version 2 with an iPad Air and a Hoodman shield for a couple of weeks and it is an absolutely fantastic combo. When I started out was using an iPhone 6 which I quickly discovered was just too small. Once you fly with a big screen you won't ever want to go back. I...

    Video feed and recorded video both choppy. Could RC interference be the culprit

    Today I was flying at the local RC airplane field where there were several airplanes taking off, flying, landing, etc. At several points I noticed the video field got really choppy, sometimes lagging a second or so behind. It didn't seem to matter if the craft was 50 feet or 500 feet away. I...

    Export videos from DJI GO "Editor"?

    I was confused by this as well. Google found this thread for me so I thought I'd post what I found out. This is with dji go 4 on ios. When you create a create a movie and click complete you see the progress meter trace the square. When finished you get the share screen to upload. At this...
