    Devil's Backbone - First Film with the Mavic

    Hello everyone. I just got my Mavic last Thursday. Sunday I made a short film over at a local hiking trial a few minutes from home. I've been a photographer for many years but never really got into cinematography, that will all change with this Mavic! BTW, this mavic will be exchanged for...
