Flock, agreed — and the river has withstood commercial use for over 100 years, but only if properly understood...the proposed fish farm on the headwaters is so wrong-headed that I just can’t understand how anyone could justify it... Thanks, Commo

For a website I have called AuSableTrout.com I shot this video proclaiming ‘I Am The AuSable’ using lots of footage from my Mavic Pro... www.ausabletrout.com/i-am-the-ausable.html My site has lots of videos about trout stream restoration and conservation — I have lots of ideas for drone-based...

My trout net is probably the best thing I can come up with there, and yes, much of the AuSable system is easily wadeable..though of course there are lots of spots where you can float your hat..I'm going to do some judicious testing over the water after I shoot a bunch of higher altitude stuff...

I am watching all the 'over water' threads carefully as just about the only place I want to fly is over moving (river) water, so please keep the threads coming with your experiences and thoughts. I'm about to start shooting aerial video for my web site www.AuSableTrout.com, a labor-of-love set...

I have noticed on bright sunny days that the Normal setting looks too contrasty and has a purplish cast especially in the shadows. Are you using the Normal setting or one of the other options? I have found on sunny days that D-Cinelike yields very nice neutral color results (custom settings of...

I ran down three batteries today at a nearby park -- learned a lot about Cinematic mode and experimented with Art and a couple other color spaces, along with manual & auto exposure, just trying to work through various controls, etc, etc. All this btw with the Polar Pro ND16 filter, which...

Lapeer, Thanks, I have seen that video and have those settings to try (sun's out today!) and also appreciate the longer braking distances -- will be practicing a LOT before braving the trees and snags around the river... Commo

Hey, Mj..steep learning curve for me -- now I wish I'd played PlayStation with my kids...I'd have more facility with the remote controller...

Hi, all, I'm finding this a great place to learn about my new Mavic Pro... I've had it for just a few days and have enjoyed a few Beginner mode flights in my backyard in suburban Detroit. I've got the Fly More package with my iPhone 7 for the Go 4 app. I'd love an iPad Mini 4 but probably won't...
