    New to Los Angeles

    I'm in SoCal and drone laws are very localized. For example in Orange County you can not fly in a public park but in Irvine parks you can. Irvine parks are public parks in Orange County (head spins). Also every beach city has their own rules and laws. Also flying in federal national parks is...

    Because apparently I'm an idiot and can't remember to take my gimble cover off.... I found a solution.

    I did the same but I just glued mine on. I tore a piece of ribbon off some Christmas gifts :-)

    Do you compress MA2 video to reduce size?

    can you help me with the settings and tool you use to do that? I have hand brake and it has all these presets.

    Do you compress MA2 video to reduce size?

    Hi, I am using a MA2 and the file sizes are pretty huge. I read the Nvidia NVEC H265 codec is very good and my machine supports that. I noticed 1080p60 bit rate in my videos is ~70Mb which is very high. I know there is some quality loss but I'm not a pro. I'm taking videos as a hobby. Thanks...

    New Drone owner took first flight today. Experience and questions

    OP here. had an interesting experience today. I hiked about 2 miles into a regional park to fly my drone from a new place. I couldn't find cover so I was totally exposed in the sun.
