Thanks, will order it today. Looks like a tedious job, but I've changed cell phone screens before so should be able to handle it.

This same thing is happening to me too. In my case, I noticed the horizon was not straight, so did a calibration and thought everything was fine. I had a friend with me an wanted to show them around some property in the country, so let them put on the white goggles, and I used the mini ipad...

Shame, You are probably right, but either way, the point is the same. There is some great music out there that can be used in YouTube Videos.

Here are some examples of my edited videos with SW music, and Travis as well which I forgot to mention. Most of the non-copyright music is so bad, I'd rather have silence.

Here's another idea.... I have found out through many youtube video posts that some of my favorite artists, mostly non-mainstream, do not mind their music being used in non-money making, personal videos and you'll have no problems with copyrights or videos getting silenced. I listen to a lot of...

I don't think home owners will be much help with a drone. There's normally a huge deductible that will cause you to get nothing.

To me, the contrast and color saturation looks better. This agrees with other comparison shots I have seen on YT. The motion smoothness is noticeable too. Nearly all drone video has motion, so this is really important. For example the texture of the trees as they move across the screen looks...

Staying on 400 here. Rock solid, don't like what I'm hearing about restrictions in the newer FW and had very bad experiences with 500.

I also bought the 5 piece Neewer's filter set off Amazon for $29 and used the ND16 during a recent very sunny trip to Roatan (see video link in the "First Trip with Mavic Thread"). It seemed to work great and video quality was greatly improved.

Haven't tried it yet, but there's that church overlooking Lake Travis off 620 I think? Could probably launch from their parking lot and get some great views of the lake. Also thought about flying near the Stevie Ray Vaughan statue, and shooting downtown from across the lake, or the bats at...

My wife and I had a little getaway last week in Roatan for 4 nights, and I wasn't planning to take the Mavic since I just didn't want to deal with any possible issues, and I had not flow over water before. At the last minute I decided to take it, and I'm really glad I did. I took a few flights...

Didn't work for me in RTH mode.

I just checked and with my thumb and finger on the battery release buttons there's about 1" clearance to the blades, so not that hard to do.

I did not try to cancel RTH or hit the pause button. I will try to remember those options next time it happens though. Once I grabbed it, it would have been hard to do much with the controller or ipad screen, but could probably have hit the pause button.

Yes, I know about the VPS sensors and how it tries to get away when you grab it, but normally if you hold the left stick down, it will eventually give up and shut down the motors. I had obstacle detection off, but VPS I think was on, because it would raise up when I put my hand under it. Not...
