    Crazy gimbal

    I just took mine out this past weekend on a road trip. Did 39 flights for a total of 93.2 miles and just over 6hrs of video recording. I've had this issue for close to 2 years now. Doesn't matter if I calibrate my gimbal before every flight, whether I'm running a filter or not, whether it's...

    Littleton, Colorado 80128

    Been a while since I've been online and haven't been flying much lately. Busted my butt and finished my masters degree in 18 weeks now have some free time and want to get out flying some more. I went with a buddy and flew up in the mountains a few months back, couldn't have asked for a better...

    State Farm insurance update

    So I spoke with my SF agent last week (I've had insurance with SF for the last 27 years) and my agent stated they do not offer the PAP on drones yet, they expect it in June. I contacted another local SF agent and they said they'd be more than happy to help with it. $60 a year, no deductible...

    Aircraft disconnected

    Mine did it again the other day as I was testing out Deploydrone over my house. Aircraft disconnected. I looked up and it was still parked 150' over my backyard. Rebooted the app and it wouldn't connect. Pulled the side plug, rebooted the app, nothing. Pulled the side plug, closed the app...

    Littleton, Colorado 80128

    I'm in the SE Aurora area, looking for places to fly too. Anybody ever fly in the downtown area? Looking to get some footage downtown both during the day (more than likely a weekend with less people) as well as night.

    First night video - questions

    Thanks for the reply, finally somebody who actually addressed the question I had. I had read some of the previous threads about night settings and went with what seemed to be a common setting but I'll have to make some other adjustments in upcoming ones. Seems my latest one was a lot cleaner...

    Aircraft disconnected

    For what it's worth I had the same exact issue yesterday. I wasn't in the air more than 3-4 mins and received the aircraft disconnected notification. It freaked me out as I've never had that happen before. I lost the video feed but the aircraft responded to inputs from the remote. I was able...

    First night video - questions

    Thanks for the feedback. I got the aircraft up to where I wanted it, pointed the camera down some, had it auto focus on a well lit area and then went to manual focus from there. Tried to keep the aircraft at the same height during the flight to maintain that same focus.

    First night video - questions

    New to the forum and new to flying drones. I've had my Mavic Pro a few weeks now and have had a great time flying it and learning on it. I took it out the other night to test out the Firehouse Technology lights I mounted on it and thought I'd get some footage while I was at it. I threw this...
