    Wet Suits, are they safe for your drone?

    Mini4 pro. If flying out and away and it starts to rain or snow. Would it be an advantage to fly back home in reverse? Especially since I just read the Gimble is a weak spot. or would that be worse since it’s against the norm and maybe wet the rear slots and venting?

    Mini 4 Mini 4 Pro filming small canoe.

    Disturbing the serene peace. And no Beer cooler. Very bad man. Just kidding, except about no cooler. Did the kayak paddle break? Looks difficult paddling with just the small half.

    Beautiful! I would have liked to seen the horizon as a sliver across bottom and 90% sky above. Thank you, great job.

    Hudson Valley NY

    Hey Sparkey, my old stomping grounds. Spent lots of time around THE trestle! The 70‘s. Partying, hunting, throwing gliders off it, tobogganing, driving all over and up and down the hills through the trestle, on frozen ground. Never littered! Back in the day, freedom.

    Mavic Air 2 and iPad Pro

    iPad Pro! I have the cheapest iPad at the time, basic gen 6 32gb. Couldn’t download Higher HD video, said not recognizing or something. Always just shot photos then. The new Pro just came out 12.9” and some impressive sounding innards and up to 1TB. Would I be able to download Mavic air1&2 4K...

    Brighter Device

    Using the Umbrella. Keeps the sun off me also, and the antennas clear for reception. In the past, going into shade under a tree or carport etc, reception was compromised. With the umbrella I’m mobile to move around!

    Brighter Device

    Many times when needing I use a black umbrella. I’ll stick the handle down the back of my shirt and rest the canopy on my head. No problem, eliminates reflection and brightness of iPad is sufficient.

    into the woods

    You could hold it above your head and walk with it. The extra height will show enough difference in perspective than eye level and your height is limited anyway. Added bonus is you can get really close to tree trunks and obstacles without breaking stride and looks great in the video, nobody...

    Is the PHANTOM 3 STANDARD worth it in 2021 and 2022?

    Beg, borrow or steal to get the MM2, anything else will not be a bargain.

    Beautiful. Like watching a Documentary without the mentary. In the credits i read sources for the content. How much of it was your drone footage? Well done. ps. I couldn’t imagine being limited to just watching this on a small phone.

    Complete Newbie about to buy his first Drone

    First BUY the darn Mini 2. Best out there for the money and is all most people need without any compromises. Fly the heck out of it within sight and enjoy. personally I set my RTH to stop and hover if signal is lost. I will move and do what I have to to regain signal. Push the button now and...

    Thinking about getting first drone but nervous about a few things

    Also use GOOGLE EARTH at home. Explore your area from above and you’ll see places you might not have known existed that you can be comfortable flying. Boat launches, parks and public lands, abandoned spaces with parking lots, many little tucked away places not noticed from the ground. And of...

    Thinking about getting first drone but nervous about a few things

    Buy it! No other drone will you give what you really need for the money. Everything else is fluff at this point. forget about the air2, in my opinion and I’d get the basic and one extra battery over the Fly more package if you want to save money. Mavic mini 1 batteries work fine. It’s the...
