    Boating and Droning in the San Juan Islands

    It is a rare place. We chartered a sailboat out of Bellingham. Took a clockwise tour round the San Juan's. Sucia was our last anchorage.

    Somewhat point of interest / active track

    Take a look at this. Fellow named Jeff Greene. Clever boy. I think he uncovered exactly what you are talking about. After setting the POI, he reduces the default speed to 0, hits GO, but then immediately pauses the Active Track and again sets the speed which has been returned to the default of...

    When my Samsung Galaxy S9 Smart Phone is connected to my Mavic Air remote controller the screen is upside down.

    I have used both on my Air. The only reason I got an iPad Mini4 was cause my eyes found my S8 too small to really see the app's settings clearly. That the Mini fits the controller perfectly without the need for an adapter was icing on the cake.

    Why In The World Did You Get A Drone?

    Salt Lake City, UT USA Mavic Air How long flying? 8 months 107? No Why? Saw some videos of skiers, mountain bikers, sail boats. Thought that would be fun. I don't fly as much as I thought I would. I enjoy it, but time is a precious commodity for me and flying is not exactly a group activity...

    Strange thing happened. Freaked me out, but resolved SD card issue

    That is true, but I hadn't had any issues before which is why I was so alarmed. Glad it was an easy fix.

    Strange thing happened. Freaked me out, but resolved SD card issue

    We were down in Newport Beach last week for some R&R. I brought along the MA. I went out early a few mornings and flew around the harbor before most people were up. I got back to Salt Lake and put my SD card in my reader and launched of files using VLC. It played fine for a few seconds, but...

    Calibration of Rear Avoidance Sensor Problem

    I went to fly my MA yesterday morning and when I hooked it up I got an error showing on my screen in the upper left where it usually says good to go or calibrate compass or whatever. This time it said rear avoidance sensor error, calibrate sensor. Do I tapped on it and it took me to a screen...

    Golf Course Video

    I thought the flight speed was a bit slow. When you see fly-by's of holes on television, they move along more rapidly.

    DaVinci Resolve 15 Crashes When Titles Added

    I did look at a YouTube for creating proxies in Resolve. Fairly involved compared to "would you like to use proxies"? I appreciate very much everyone's input.

    DaVinci Resolve 15 Crashes When Titles Added

    This is interesting. I downloaded Cyberlink PowerDirector and tried to import my 4K clips into the media bin. I got a pop up that asked if I wanted to use proxies of these files for the ease of editing. I said sure, but was informed that the free trial version does not support this. After...

    DaVinci Resolve 15 Crashes When Titles Added

    Can you define "optimized media"? All I am using are clips from my MA.

    DaVinci Resolve 15 Crashes When Titles Added

    I have not. After re-reading Black Magic's hardware guide, I do think my system is over-matched. When I would try to edit 4K video, it would do it, but the workflow was very jerky. I may try 16 but am not optimistic. I like the idea of using professional grade software, but not being a...
