    My First Month

    I like this thread as I am joining the 1 month club in the next few days! I would add to this list: Bought a sun shield (I use an iphone 6). The great sunny weather we have had this last month has been hard to contend with - I kept finding myself turning my back on the drone to see the screen...

    What is the ideal battery level for storage?

    Ok, this is really interesting, I'm glad I asked. I wonder how many people actually know this. May I ask where you got this information from? This basically means not only will the batteries benefit from a small top up post flight (after cooling of course), but also time to fully charge pre...

    Cancun 2018

    If you go into the camera settings (click on the sliders) then on the right theres a cog - click that. Here you will find some extra settings - enable the histogram and you will see a graph appear on your camera screen - you can hold it to move it around. This shows you the intensity of...

    What is the ideal battery level for storage?

    Shouldn’t you just leave them as discharged as possible until you want to fly and then fully charge them? That’s the advice I have seen everywhere. You certainly don’t want to leave them on the charger for weeks as I have read someone did, it kills the batteries internals. I wasn’t aware LiPo...

    Had a mild heart attack!

    Did your battery drop to 50% rapidly or was it smooth? Rapid drops can indicate battery health problems.

    Cancun 2018

    Hi Jhun Are you looking for tips on anything specific? I would certainly suggest you change the EXP settings for your controls - see the jerkiness when you yaw? that's caused because your sticks are too sensitive. Change the values from the default of 0.4 to either 0.2 or 0.1 (I use 0.1)...

    Correct color with D-Cinelike

    I'm also on the same path to colour nirvana with my Air and what I did was watch alot of videos on YouTube to see what others did. As I understand it, the general ethos is to: Choose D-Cinelike in the camera settings and a custom profile of anywhere from 0,0,0 to -3,-3,-3 depending on who you...

    What do you think? The Don'ts of travelling to Costa Rica

    Hey I love your video. Looks like an amazing destination and I can see you had a wonderful time. Scorpions in the washing!? Worth doing a tip about that one! What drone did you fly for the aerial shots? Great use for the sunrises - you can force it by ascending! We are off to Arizona for a...

    Gobi Desert, Mongolia

    I think I remember one of my first clips from my Mavic Air came out like this - I think I had 2.7k/24fps set for some reason. Fairly certain that the video editing software that was used has created this effect and you should be able to redo it with the raw and get a better result - it might...
