    How I hand catch the Mavic without fighting sensors on...

    I believe when u shift into sport mode it turns off the sensors,that makes it real easy.

    Rusty old bridge.

    That’s a great idea,I have a 64gb card,so there is no reason not to.My only concern would be focusing,usually I set the focus before each scene.

    Rusty old bridge.

    Thanks,yea I thought I had a real nice capture of the train going from one end to to other,when I got home It wasn’t there.Really ticked me off,I thought I hit the record button,obviously I didn’t.Forgot to include it was shot by a MP in 4K/30fps.

    Rusty old bridge.

    Still learning,haven't had much flight time due to the crappy weather here on the west coast of Canada.I have to admit I was pretty terrified to fly close to the all metal bridge,read that it can really mess with the signal,so I made sure the bridge was never between me and my drone at all times.

    had my first confrontation today....

    The lake I was flying at is considered a National Park,drones technically are not permitted in National Parks in Canada.No point escalating an argument when I new I was was technically wrong,but ****,its just a lake and woods,small public washroom and nothing else.

    Question about ND filters.

    I guess a third option would be to increase the ISO,but I assume that's something to be avoided.

    Question about ND filters.

    Just wondering about getting the exposure correct using ND filters.As an example on a semi bright day my ND16 is over exposed using the 2:1 ratio of SHUTTER/FPS (60/30) and my ND32 is under exposed,but closer.Using my ND32 should I increase the shutter speed altering the 2:1 ratio to get proper...

    had my first confrontation today....

    Today I had my first encounter,was flying around a lake with no residential property around,only one person in sight.Luck has it she approaches me to say my drone is giving her a headache and would like me to ground it because flying is illegal.How a drone that is 400 yards away can give her a...

    Real or fake?

    If a small hook like that tried to pic u up by the back of a sweater it would rip in a millisecond.

    For myself the reason I could not update was a faulty main board.Just got it back from repair,all updated now.As a huge bonus my video quality is much better now,glad to get this all sorted out,was giving me a big headache!!

    I tried using my Crystalsky via wifi earlier and it went nowhere,but decided to try out my iphone.Instead of stopping at 40% it went all the way to 92% then stopped,tried a couple times with the same result.Good suggestion,almost there.I did upload my error log to DJI,does anyone know if that...

    I attempted to install the new firmware for the better part of yesterday.Every single time it stops at 40% and fails to update(at least 10 attempts).I am using DJI assistant 2 with the Mavic connected via the USB,controller updated no problem.Just probably should leave things as is,not much to...

    Any suggestions for hard case to hold Mavic RC and CrystalSky 5.5

    I ended up ordering a Pelican iM2200NF case and customizing to my liking.Yes,a little on the bulky side getting away from one of the Mavics big advantages,but overall a good comprimise.
