    3 MilkyWay Timelapse 5 seconds

    Nice night footage, I am amazed how well that turned out. I live and travel in dark high elevation places where the syks are very bright. I will have to get my Mavic 3 out and give this a try.

    In February 2017 I manually flying a DJI Mavic Pro through a narrow Slot Canyon, this video compares that 2017 footage vs footage shot in 2021 autonomously with a Skydio 2 quadcopter. I consider manually flying the Mavic through the slot canyon to be the most technical drone piloting I have...

    DJI Mavic 2 Pro - External Battery (X2) Adaptor for Extended Flight Time

    I would love to have more flight time from my Mavic 2, but I have to ask, it looks like in the picture above that the upwards obstacle avoidance sensor is covered by the battery plug. I am guessing you loose upwards collision avoidance with this mod???

    What are some "must have" Mavic Zoom upgrades?

    The Little Mavic 1 Pro carrying case also works extremely well with the Mavic 2 Zoom. Some ND lens filters are quite nice when the sun is bright too.

    Navigating a slot canyon with the Mavic.

    I was too busy navigating the canyon to notice if there was GPS lock or not, the Mavic was close enough for a ground lock though, so flight was stable.

    Navigating a slot canyon with the Mavic.

    Hi, No the dome was not on, the reflections are the sun light at a steep angle passing through the props. I also have a Phantom Vision 2+, it has worse issues with prop reflections, and I have an Inspire 1, it has was less issues with prop reflections due to the greater distance between the...

    Navigating a slot canyon with the Mavic.

    Navigating a bending slot canyon is not easy. The video below is from my first day to carry a drone in a backpack up a ski lift. I successful carried it down a double black diamond run on my Snowboard without touching turf.
