Super impressive - by the drone and you!

Quick little hyperlapse I did there:

Just got back from an amazing two week vacation, driving a Porsche through Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Austria, with a focus on the Dolomites. Breathtaking scenery, and really fun roads on which to drive that incredible car. I brought the drone along to try and capture as much as I could...

I just got a very surprising email from B&H: Good News, Brian! DJI Mavic 4 Pro Drone with Fly More Combo is now in stock! Add to Cart See Details Wow! I've already got mine, but thought y'all might want to know.

Did a little Active Track testing today on a mountain bike ride with my buddies. Incredibly impressed! I don't have my ND filters yet (they're due to arrive tomorrow), so just shot the video in auto mode. I set it up out in front of the riders, shooting toward them from the front, as they rode...

In certain types of terrain I’d agree, but this was really gentle terrain near my home with almost zero chance of anything major like that happening

Looks great! I just set the active track, then pulled the joysticks off and put the controller back in the backpack. Then, I just looked around periodically (or listened) to make sure the drone was following me safely and accurately.

I tested the Active Track on mine (while wearing my new backpack) on my mountain bike recently. I was really pleased with the Mavic 4's capability. Looking forward to doing more testing soon.

My issue was when I changed the setting from braking for obstacles, to flying around obstacles. Suddenly it flew very erratically, I seemed to have little control over the flight, even when no obstacles were around (just flying over water). Not a good feeling, so I switched it back to braking...

It all fits fine vertically as well, I just decided to run it diagonally, since the divider strips can be configured however you want them. The zipper pouch easily fits the charger, cables, and extra propellers.

That one looks quite nice, but I wanted something smaller, so I could fit it in my motorcycle side case. Over the weekend I picked up this one: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lowepro-tahoe-bp-150-camera-backpack-charcoal-gray/6333169.p?skuId=6333169. It just (barely!) fits in my motorcycle case...

Another amazing sunrise this morning. This time I was up in the hills, and shot this with nine bracketed shots (3 x 3), which I stitched into an HDR panorama using Lightroom, with minimal editing needed.

Boise is called "The City of Trees," and we especially love them in the fall. On Thursday morning. I traveled down to Ann Morrison Park, so I could get a foreground of the pretty fall foliage, the Boise River, and have downtown and the mountains in the background, with what I hoped would be a...
