    my mavic air is very noisy even in iso 100

    I looked and found that Polar Pro and Freewell both ship to the Canary Islands (on my bucket list to visit :) ). I Personally purchased the Bright Day 4-pack from Freewell, as the Polarized ND 8, 16, 32, & 64 set seemed the most useful for everyday use. The smaller Polar Pro sets come with ND 4...

    my mavic air is very noisy even in iso 100

    That is what I had always understood as well. However my experience with the MA thus far is that when filming in really bright sunny conditions with areas of shadow, the MA is unable to capture any of the shadow areas without noticeable grain if I properly expose the bright portion of the...

    my mavic air is very noisy even in iso 100

    In shots with bright sun and shadows, it’s difficult, if not impossible to compose a shot without using some sort of ND filter. To properly expose the bright sunny conditions in the shot you composed, the shutter speed is running at 1/1600, which is too fast for the sensor to also capture the...

    Flying through old Iron Bridge

    In general, any time you fly under a solid object that can obstruct your signal, you risk loss of control and increase the chances of a crash. I don't think you will have problems flying around it though.

    MAvic Air keeps climbing

    Is it possible you are selecting precision landing at takeoff? With precision landing, the Air with continue rising to about 16 feet (I believe) to gain a more accurate snapshot of its surroundings when landing. I updated my Air recently too, and I had the same problem. It turns out I was...

    Spring Comes Early

    I want to make it up the peak soon before the snow is melted.

    Spring Comes Early

    Thanks! I am glad you liked it. I was definitely careful around the lines, that being said, they were pretty big lines and the video makes them look closer than they were.

    Spring Comes Early

    A short video I put together from our hike yesterday. I am still getting used to using filters and editing D-Cinelike footage, but I am enjoying the process. I am happy to have nice weather finally!

    Thank you for the generosity! I have a Mavic Air however. I am waiting on some Polar Pro ND filters as well, they should arrive tomorrow. Thanks again!

    This is my first flight using manual settings. I am still waiting on some ND filters, so I had to bump up the shutter speed quite a bit to improve exposure.

    Trains 2

    It would be cool to see a hyperlapse of that train passing by.

    Red Canyon, Dixie NF, Utah

    I really love the terrain in your shots. I am still a novice using FCPX, and am still getting used to my MA as well. Have you played with any of the transitions in PP? Also cutting your footage so transitions occur to the beat of the music can make a huge difference when compiling your footage...

    Hello from Corvallis, Oregon!

    Hello all! I just recently purchased a Mavic Air. This was a huge upgrade from the Husband H501s that I had previously. I love the 3-axis gimbal and the footage it produces, and more importantly, I love the size. I am finishing the final few months of my Bachelors Degree in Nursing, and will be...

    E. E. Wilson Wildlife Area, Oregon

    This was once a large military base from 1942-1946 to train soldiers for the terrain they would face in Europe during WWII. Now it's a wildlife area with the foundations of barracks and decaying paved roads as the only sign of human presence.
