    Are camera (still) and video settings not completely independent?

    Heck, my fingers give out (upstate NY) LONG before my phone battery :) Best deal ever? Hunters gloves in Bass Pro Shops. Hands stay warm, the covers for the fingers can be off independently from the thumbs. Saved my little finger tips last time from frost bite.

    Cold weather flying

    From what I've found (flew in -2F yesterday) the hands are the first thing to go, not the Mavic! Even bought hunting gloves that let the tips of your fingers out and was flying so long, almost got frostbite on the finger tips!

    Who says Mavic can't do low light?

    Great job Robert! I had a similar experience last weekend where I was trying to get a downtown street for an intro to a film I wanted to do. Took me two nights because of the cold and wind conditions, but was worth it for the five second intro I got (folks - the rest of the video was all shot...

    You Might Want To Watch This Before Buying Platinum Pro Props

    I have the old props and shot a 360 the other day with Litichi. I have NEVER seen the horizontal bands in there until now. I've shot several 360s without issue. So, no crashed Mavic, no new props, no scratches on the lens and yet....horizontal banding lines that I've never seen before...

    Mavic makes me reconsider residential real estate clients...

    One thing I found that works for real estate - if you are an experienced photographer already, promise inside, outside and aerial perspective. I've been charging $200 for that (NO video - that adds $100 to the price for just exterior video) with no push back. Not everyone wants it and I stress...

    Have you had a neighbor ask you to not fly over their property?

    Piled Higher and Deeper? :-)

    Litchi app huge camera focus issues for the Mavic

    I just had the same thing happen to me Pol - I did two 360 panoramas with the Litchi app and 2 of the 42 images in each one were out of focus. Did not notice it until I got home and loaded the images. In one case, I was shooting a pano of a yearly event and now won't have another chance until...

    Hangar 360 crash

    I tried this - went to 300 feet, started the Hangar app - and it stuck at taking image 1 of 23. Didn't move past that.

    Hangar 360 crash

    Thanks Strider - I will try that. Flack, that's exactly what happened the 2nd and 3rd tries - just flipped upside down. Damaged propellers, and had to replace them, but that was it.

    Hangar 360 crash

    I had the same problem - had two good flights with the app, tried to move to another location about 1/2 mile away and my Phantom 3 took off at high speed 3-4 feet off the ground and hit a tree, flipping upside down. NONE of the controls would allow me to do anything - I had to pull the battery...

    Hangar 360 Questions?

    That's good to know. I had thought about that, but in one place I'd read that you shouldn't have the DJI app running in the background. So, take it to 300' with the DJI app, kill the app in the background, launch the Hangar 360 app? Sounds like a plan - I'll try it today. Thank you! And...if I...

    Hangar 360 Questions?

    I tried the Hangar 360 app with a Phantom 3 Standard and it worked like a charm! Loved it. Bought the Mavic and tried it with that and everything looks good - starts the mission, goes to 4' and just sits there saying that it's going to 300'. Anyone else had this issue? And yes...I've emailed...
