    It was sitting around 90mbps during my tests.

    My mavic crashed into the Ocean. I filmed the attempted rescue.

    Yeah, just initiated the repair request as a malfunction rather than user error. Will see how it goes.

    My mavic crashed into the Ocean. I filmed the attempted rescue.

    I'm still not sure exactly what happened. It was bloody emotional as I'm really attached to the little guy. At least I managed to make a sweet video of the experience. Always look on the bright side. Will update if I get any info from the logs that shine a light on the cause of crash (I'm...

    I've never seen such a beautiful clip out the Mavic Pro.

    This is completely down to good fortune and the quality of the equipment but I captured the best clip I've ever seen the other night. Was on a road trip from Inverness to Oban in Scotland, grabbed some shots on the way and made an edit. The final clip is my favourite shot I've seen. Drone was...

    RAD mountain bike edit with Mavic Pro (active track)

    Yeah, had it in my backpack. It's insured so not bothered if I crash and damage it, more concerned about hurting myself. Been riding for years and race professionally so it's all a calculated risk. Looks more dangerous than it is!

    GIVEAWAY: DJI Mavic Hard Case by Freewell Gear

    For the love of all that is holy DO NOT FORGET to land slowly if you have disabled the lower posititioning sensors! When flying over water it's good practice to turn them off to stop false height readings or major drifting if you're above running water and lose GPS. Twice now my landing muscle...

    RAD mountain bike edit with Mavic Pro (active track)

    Wow, thanks for the great comments guys. Buzzing on how it's being received for a first effort. If you guys want to see how I did it there's a behind the scenes Vlog style vid on my channel: It was my first time using the active track up a mountain so I was unsure how it would cope...

    RAD mountain bike edit with Mavic Pro (active track)

    I used my Mavic Pro, GoPro 3+ black, Feiyu Tech WG Gimbal and GoPro 5 black to shoot a self made edit in 1 day. Really happy with how it all turned out! Settings I used (firmware update defaulted the camera to settings I wouldn't normally use resulting in not ideal footage): 1080p 30fps -1-1-1...

    Dawn till dusk. My favourite shots in Scotland so far.

    Cheers Beast. I've been eyeing up ND Filters, still unsure if they are for me or not as I don't tend to plan flights. I just whip out the mavic, go for a blast, grab some shots and boost. I feel with filters I'll have to fly to check, return, review, apply filter, film again. Might ruin the...

    Dawn till dusk. My favourite shots in Scotland so far.

    My first attempt at a making a drone edit. Some jittery frame rates and a couple wobbles but really happy with how it turned out. Never had so much fun with a bit of tech.

    Skins for Mavic.

    Got my Matte black skin (Customised with my company logo) from decalgirl. Might have already been said but the battery skins don't come with numbers. You can add them in the customiser if you want them. Real happy with the outcome, time consuming to apply but I took my time and used the...
