I remember getting magnificently drunk at the pool at the Costa Verde, and continuing the party down at the plane. Haven't been to Maqbeach since '09! That was probably the last time I partied like that as well LOL. Fishing at 6am the next morning was NOT fun. I was back at my place in Playa...

Well alright then! Happy flying. As long as you don't take off/land at the park you're OK.

Maqbeach is about 4km from Quepos airport. And again, the part that's more than 5km away is a National Park.

I usually fly in Playa Flamingo (Guanacaste province) and surrounding area. It's very convenient to walk out of my place and be airborne with unreal scenery in less than a minute :D Manuel Antonio is also very close to an airport (Quepos) so DJI Go may act up there as well.

Now that's one place I'd be very careful. Ask before flying for sure. I do know that flying in National Parks is not allowed, but you may be able to do it out of private property. There's also an airport nearby (La Fortuna) so DJI go itself may not let you take off.

I've encountered a few along the years. I divide my time between Guatemala and Costa Rica, and in both places have seen other drones flying around. Oddly, it has been mostly Inspires. At my location in Costa Rica, it's pretty common to see other MRs flying, and I even have video of an...

Enjoy Costa Rica! Just got back from 2 weeks at my place in Playa Flamingo. Weather was pretty decent overall considering it's rainy season now. 4K vid cap from the Mavic.

TBH I use Photoshop a lot so paying $10/mo is acceptable to me. I have little to no experience with the less expensive or free programs, but doing a quick run through the App Store turns up a lot of cheap and free results. Go for the one with the best ratings, it should be enough for what you...

It is super simple. On Quicktime, pause the screen you want the frame from, hit Copy. Then, in Photoshop or any other photo editing program, make a new file (it will be the same size as your frame) and Paste into that new file. Save or Export in your preferred format.

Got it Nov 3. Here you go: "Dear DJI Customer, We owe you an apology for our delays in delivering the new Mavic Pro. We want to thank you for your patience and also advise that we are looking into improving our order process and systems, based largely on your feedback. When we announced...

Ordered Sep 29, got an email saying I would get my Mavic Fly More Bundle "in the next seven to eight weeks." That's a helluva delay! :(

Welp, I've got the feeling I'm taking the P3P to Costa Rica for Thanksgiving and leaving it at my place (already have a Solo there but the flight time really limits my missions). Glad I didn't sell it when I got the P4, which I'm definitely not selling!

Been flying DJI equipment since the P1, which I still have. The Mavic will be the latest addition to my fleet. What sold me is the portability. I travel at least every 2 months and was getting tired of lugging the P3 or P4 backpacks around (don't get me started on transporting the Inspire...

Moto X Pure Edition, currently the brightest screen (715 nits) of any phone on the market.

Another Mac guy here. For quick and easy stuff I use imovie, for things that need more work and refinement I use Final Cut ProX with the CoreMelt V2 plug-in set.
