Certainly it’s had some bugs (like detecting non-existent obstacles), and I certainly don’t like the lack of USA sales and support, but overall I’m incredibly impressed with mine. Image quality is spectacular, the three lenses give great creative options, battery life is fantastic, and more...

Thanks all! Bike is my 2023 Ducati Multistrada Pikes Peak edition. The third Multistrada I've owned - collectively done about 70,000 miles on them. So great!

Beautiful work, well done!

I did a nice little 1,000 mile touring ride from Idaho up into Montana over the weekend. Brought the drone along, of course, and captured some of the beauty along the way.

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...
