    Mavic 3 coordinated turns (fixed wing mode)

    Got me a bewdy there Cereal, a real burn! What I was try to say is what is available now is tremendously capable. If you can use all the available features you are going well. No matter what the new products are some folk are never happy.

    Seems the grass is always greener whatever some you folks have, there is always a whinge about something.

    Max distance with time to shoot at 500 meters flight altitude

    You can see indications on the surface of the water that you had a tailwind. Any water, (dams, rivers) trees, cattle or sheep will tell you what the direction and how strong the wind is.

    Will there be efforts made to recover the downed MQ-9 from the Black Sea? Do they have on-board self destructs?

    Flying near wildlife

    There was a wildlife article about Walrus habits changing because of global warming, the piece show walrus falling from a cliff. Turns out the mob filming (Drone footage) had something to do with the outcome. Found this ‘Our Planet’ film crew is still lying about walrus cliff deaths: here’s...

    Not so Wildlife

    Wasn't my idea, I was up alone and they came to me. They flew passed me about 5 times from either direction then departed of to hoon somewhere else. I would not fly into a mob of birds by choice, more for the birds well being than the drone. Nuther shot of them coming a different direction...

    Flight in Bali

    The Russian man got hell of a deal if he got an Air for 2 million, that's equivilant to $200 Oz dollars. Current exchange rate about 10,000 IR to a dollar
