    Near miss with helicopter at South Hollywood beach, Florida.

    Near miss with helicopter at South Hollywood beach, Florida.

    Flying near antenna towers

    I just flew near our 1200' tower in North Dade County. No problems, the Mavic never skipped a beat. The transmitters are on VHF channel 7 and 10 and pushing around 150kw. I flew about 150 feet away from the tower and used the digital zoom at 1280 resolution. No problems.

    North Bay Village by Drone

    Yes, sorry. This is a collection of videos over a few months with two different Inspire's and two Mavics. We were just shooting with different settings to see what looked best. Unfortunately it wasn't a scientific test as we didn't keep track of them.

    DIY Mavic Ipad Mount

    I don't like most of the ipad mounts on the market so I decided to make my own. I didn't want to block the display on the RC so I designed a simple mount with clear 1/4" acrylic. I made a simple drawing with Autocad and sent it to the laser cutter. 2 bends were made with my diy heat strip. The...
