    Friday the 13th the death of my MPP.

    Look at the bright side. You’re about to get a replacement that is incredibly superior. FYI From experience let recommend Seattle Drone Repair. They are terrific and fair.

    Neighbors unhappy with Drone overhead

    Remember: You can’t fix stupid! I have a good friend who went on a rant the minute I said I had a drone. Less than 2 weeks later he asked me to inspect his roof. He was thrilled with the photos and video. And he has asked me to come back and check another area of his roof. I do it for fun and...

    Had my first crazy neighbor experience...

    Hindsight is 20/20 of course. If you ever encounter him again, you might humbly ask which house is his so you can try to avoid it. It’s a trap of course. And maybe get a clandestine video of the conversation. Once done, you have suspect #1 should anything happen and/or you can then educate him...

    My first experience with the Mavic Air 2 Wet Suit + Rescue Jacket

    First, I am very impressed with the “floaters”. They seem to be very stable and functional. Thanks for sharing that for sure. Second, it was really kind of you to let that young man fly a drone and take some pictures. I trust you got an email so you can send them to him. His joy was wonderful...

    WOW Am I the only member that's stuck with the original Mavic Pro??

    I too have an MPP but am very interested in the MA2. Could you expand on your assessment of a “cost” for occusync, etc? I assume you are thinking in terms other than monetary cost. Thanks.

    Chase scene using drones

    Too scary for me! I’ve had such bad luck around trees. I’d try to record it at an exaggerated walking pace and the speed it up in post as others have recommended. Tree branches vs drones, bad ju-ju!

    FAA Monetized Youtube Drone Videos 2020

    I read a post just this past week where a drone pilot was contacted by the FAA about potential infractions discovered from a YouTube video. After a long conversation it was determined there was no danger to people or property and the pilot agreed and secured his 107 license. Case closed. He was...

    New to drones: what’s currently the best/ cheapest option for photographers?

    Look for a used Mavic Pro 2 or get a Mavic Air 2. Both area bout the same cost.

    GO FOR IT! You won’t regret it. If I can help, send me a private message. By what means will you travel? Assumed you’ll drive. Car? RV?

    Montana-Final Pictures

    I can tell you a trip like you laid out is worth whatever it takes to make it happen. 7+ weeks would be much nicer and won’t burn you out getting to & from. I promise the goal will justify the means. Been there from NC. Praying I get to go back and stay longer.
