Beautiful clip. Opening scene of the sunrise and waves was spectacular. Wished for more surfer activity. Nice overhead capture of the swimmer doing laps in the pool. It's always a feeling of great accomplishment when I get up before sunrise and am in position to capture a great scene like this...

Thanks AKDrone I am actually following that advise. I do not have so many drones (Mavic Mini 4 Pro and Mavic 3), so I need to be more cautious.

I am overly cautious and I have never lost the drone. I tried a hand catch unsuccessfully and it was a small "crash:"from a low a height of 5 feet. Although I try to keep VLOS, I admit to depending on RHT when I lose it. I;ve decided to keep the M3 without insurance( I have no choice). It is...

Loved the epic filming of the first light to hit the mountain peak. Beautiful scenery and flying. I am not a fan of FPV but this one was at least tolerable in that it did not swoop rapidly all over the place. I get a nauseous feeling viewing most FPVs. Can you tell us where this was filmed- I...

Hope you enjoy this 3:32 minute drone flight of beautiful Dinner Key Marina,, located in Coconut Grove, Miami, Florida on a beautiful spring day. Starting with a sunrise view, there are beautiful harbor views and views of the surrounding apartments on Bayshore Drive. Filmed with the DJI Mavic 3...

First of all, you lead the life I would have dreamt about when I was younger. We have a lot in common. I have an Mavic 3 that is now 3 years old and I love it, but its days are numbered because of the newer M4. I've done 5 fishing trips, including fly in/fly out float planes, to high end lodges...

I decided to celebrate the daylight savings change by getting to my shooting site at sunrise, to avoid the massive crowds and traffic of a Sunday in this popular area of town. I got some great footage of the marina and am already starting to work on a small video, In the mean time, here are...

Thank you for that! I am a so so photographer, but I'll take it!

Hi Joel: I am familiar with your posts. Thanks for your reassurances. Many of your comments seem similar to my situation. You made the right decision re: carrying a drone on safari. I managed to take my old Mini to Tanzania and got some footage of our camp and the river, but I would never have...

I tried State Farm and they would not insure my drone without a complete homeowners policy, which I have carried for years with USAA. USAA says that I am insured under my homeowners for drone damage to others and for loss.

Hi Capt. KO: Thanks so much for that really nice post. If you read my original posting, I did mention that I also have a new Mavic Mini 4 Pro which I will be taking to Poland in April (Krakow, Warsaw, Gdansk), and Zimbabwe (September). I've been on this forum since 2015 when the Drone Nerds...

I fly all my drones like a frightened newb each and every time. When I lose sight of it, my heart rate increases, and I hit the RTH button.

Hi Twickers Naples Florida is having spectacular weather right now but I think it will be turning hot and muggy (humid) by April . Dale

Hey KAOS Imagery! Thanks for the information. I just went to You Tube to look up Ray Kelly Drone Meet Up South Florida at Jensen Beach. Looks like a fun week end. I am not much for flying in groups. I like to be alone, sorta stealth. But the You Tube video sure looks like fun. The Drone meet up...

Mark I moved from PC to MAC several years ago and I am now on my 2nd iMAC 24 inch M3 chip. The first version was 28 inches Intel chip. I love the Mac. It is so intuitive for graphics, photography, and video. Here are some of the specs(see below illustration). I would go with the most...
