    MY FIRST DEMO REEL!

    Nice shots. I did not like the juttery fonts during the open but that is just personal preference. As stated above speed ramps are cool in small doses. If you want to see how moving transitions play out watch a big budget action adventure movie with the volume off. It helps to focus on what is...

    Mini 3 or larger- One man's opinion

    I purchased the Mini 3 pro. The main advantages of the Mini is are it is Mini and has a remote with built in screen. It is great travel drone. Especially with the extended life battery option. I can just chuck it in my tank bag for motorcycle trips. It does a descent job of following at lower...

    Mavic 3 files

    Same issues with mini 3 pro. I have a 2020 M1, Monterey 12.3.1 MacGawd posted this on June 23 2022. It sums up my issue without my having to type all those words. "Note: I've never had a problem with Quicktime playing both .MOV or .MP4 files, I, however, do have a problem with files now being...

    Mini 2 Video file won't open?

    I am having the exact same issue with the mini 3 pro that arrived 2 days ago. VLC will play the files. FCPX will also read the file. It will be interesting to see what DJI has to say. It has nothing to do with stopping the video in my case. BTW This thread has gone off the rails.

    I need constructive feedback. But, let's make it fun! - please roast my video. Be cruel.

    Nice shots. The B&W waves looked great. As mentioned above try some other transition than straight cuts. I like a 1.5 second cross dissolve to smooth things out. I think the music does not call for short cuts on the beat. That technique works great for rock videos.

    Do you control with your thumbs on top of the joysticks or pinch each stick with forefinger and thumb?

    Thumbs, no sticks. But, after reading posts from all the pinchers, I will try the two finger method. Just got DJI FPV will def try pinching.

    Mavic Air 2 does not see, recognize, read SDcard

    I've been having good luck with a Kingston CANVAS Go! Plus 128GB lately. More recently a SanDisk Pixtor 64GB has been reading. It was in a cheap Nikon gopro knockoff someone gave me. I just stuck it in the MA2 and it read it no problem. I hope something better than the tiny micro SD comes...

    Do you control with your thumbs on top of the joysticks or pinch each stick with forefinger and thumb?

    Thumbs. I removed the sticks. I feel I have more control without sticks.

    Passed FAA 107

    Nice Strat maggior. I took some of the practice tests online and some of the answers were not what I was finding in the study guide or some of the videos either. I felt less confident after taking a couple of the tests. They were helpful for getting a feel for how the questions were worded and...

    Passed FAA 107

    I do feel like I was asked for a lot of information that will soon slip out of memory because I will not need to know it as a drone pilot. I got a sense that the test makers didn't really know what to ask specifically for drone pilots. Like the test was a bit broad in some regards. I can see...

    Passed FAA 107

    I passed with a 90%. There was a lot of ?s that involved sectional charts. probable 40%. Several on regulations, like what to do with a drone registered in a foreign country brought back to the US. I still don't know. Some ?s I had never even seen reference material to what the ? was about I did...
