    Exporting video from Adobe Premiere Pro

    I think the H265 may be too much for the power of your computer. Try shooting and exporting in H264.

    How To Share Video Files

    Dropbox is another resource for sharing video files that are too large for e-mailing. One can upload a video file to Dropbox and share the file with designated people who can then download the file to their computer. Basic Dropbox is free (up to 2 GB of storage).

    Cellular Data Required with DJI Fly -- For What Exactly?

    I import the licenses via wifi on my iPad mini while in the DJI Fly app with the bird powered up. I access this through settings (three dots in upper right corner) and then go to Unlock Geo Zone under the Safety heading and click on Import to Aircraft. The DJI app responds Imported...

    Cellular Data Required with DJI Fly -- For What Exactly?

    Number 1) is not really true. I unlock the GEO zone where I fly online at home on my Mac fifteen days at a time. I then fire up the bird in the house without flying it and "import the unlocking licenses into the aircraft". Then when i subsequently go out to fly in the authorization zone near...

    iPhone 7 vs iPad mini

    I use an iPad mini 5 with my Air 2 and it works very well (no cellular connection necessary). I recommend the Etsy (Miss Crissy) adapter, it works especially well since it tilts upward, weighs next to nothing, and accommodates a sun shield very well. The stock cable works fine with the mini5.

    Where to buy what I want.....???

    I have bought thousands of dollars worth of equipment, including a Mini and an Air 2, from B&H and don't think you can go wrong with them. 30 day return, free shipping, can save sales tax using their credit card, and on and on. Try them.

    DJI Drone crashed into my vehicle at car show

    It would seem to me that the drone owners home insurance doesn't have much of a leg to stand on. Flying over people and expensive property is negligent and the insurance company is shirking its responsibility and trying to shift it to DJI. Check with the insurance commissioner in Texas (if...
