    Mavic Pilots New Zealand

    Ideally we should get permission to fly over rivers and lakes too - even though it's covered in water, Ngai Tahu et al own the river and lake beds. Not sure about the sea... For example, to fly over Lake Dunstan and the Clutha River I worked with the tribe's agent in Queenstown. Permission was...

    Best video file settings in Da Vinci Resolve for You Tube or web for M2P footage.

    Do you have unlimited internet? I agree with Jlatas, upload to YT in 4K for best results on that platform. I do have unlimited internet, so I'm not too bothered if my file is that large. If you're concerned about storing at your place, just render a 1080p version for your archives and delete...

    Mavic air 2 filters (ND, VND)

    Fixed ND filters v Variable

    I've just ordered the Polar Pro VNDs. I'll post some results once they've arrived. I purchased the Flymore combo so thought I'd take a gamble and stick to the DJI ones if I feel I really need just a standard ND option. Just as an aside - it's a leap of faith going back to Polar Pro - I remember...

    Above Central Otago is back!

    Well, since I sold my Phantom 4 18 months ago I've missed the droning hobby. So this week I've purchased a Mavic Air 2! Check out my YouTube, though it's all P4 vids at the moment! https://www.youtube.com/c/abovecentralotago
