I thought that was the case but hoped I could do it, thanks for the feedback.

Haven't been out for a while but I want to know if I can take stills while shooting HD or 4K video, I can on my video camera but can't find anything about this on the Mavic (or haven't looked hard enough).

Here CASA states 30 metres (100'), unless party to the operation which does not include spectators at a sporting event or players but can include an individual who wants images of themselves performing.

Yes, I just flew through the post, looked at the words instead of reading them. I have priors for the same offence.

I thought they were only 21 minutes flight time

The specs state the charger operates from 100-240VAC 50/60HZ

Iwant to shoot some stills in a Vic NP but can't so I am going to resort to KAP with time lapse on a gopro. I have looked at the regs and they are quite specific about drones and remote controlled aircraft but a kite is not remote controlled and is in contact with the operator at all times. I...

The aperture is fixed and you can only adjust the shutter and ISO hence the need for ND filters in bright light. I have also seen a graduated ND which could be useful for stark contrast between sky and land, I have used them on DSLR and they take some getting used to, drone would be harder...

mine came in one well made black box with a white surround, fly more package, has a carry handle, looks rather smart.

Where is it, looks like Lorne Vic or Kingston SA although I'm sure there are plenty of other places that look like that.

Ouch!!

My wife thinks I have one so no trouble with the $$$$$$ outlayThumbswayup

And you know why sharks circle divers before they attack......

Computers are very much a personal thing now it is probably worth getting one built, I went down this track and opted for 500gb SSD, i7 processor (I do a lot of RAW images with work on a 36mp camera and it takes a while to process), 1TB HD plus a 5TB external drive and a few 2TB external drives...
