I did a video about flying over water specifically. It's here....

Yep... about 20 seconds on the edit. Step 1... bring up photo in Photoshop and adjust the highlights and shadows. Next I use AlienSkin filter gallery. (hence the color toning) Chose from over 300 filters. Apply and done. The BIGGEST tool I use and is available in light room as well is the...

My two cents from my "photography" background. (20 years) Lower the ISO the better the quality of the picture.Basically "more pixels" is the way to look at it kind of. Shutter speed just simply adjusts for the correct exposure. I would go with Photoshop, just my preference but the learning...

Keep in mind I'm NOT... a "drone expert" just a guy that flies over water ALL THE TIME. After some pretty extensive testing... what we learned is that you have to SEE IN YOUR MIND what the bottom sensors see. The drone DOES... get confused over water in certain situations, but this usually...

Not sure this 100% applies... but I was having horrible issues with screen going dark due to overheating. Tested Iphone 7 plus, and 5S. Since then went to the IPAD Mini 4, wireless only, and LOVE it. I had Amazon points from my AMEX so it cost me about $100 which also helped on my decision.

Either keep the phone (6) or get a IPAD Mini 4 is just my advice. You can always sell the 6 later on too. Not sure if this helps... but just some thoughts on the phone vs. the ipad

Welcome... no FIRM answers, but some helpful thoughts I hope.

It's not "scientific" ... It's not "hyper-technical" just some thoughts and tips about flying over water. In the end... It's easier to just shut off all assisted flight tools so your MIND is focused on FLYING and not worrying about any EXTREME corrections the drone might make due to them.

Thanks.. I can't . Low canopy of trees. I'll practice over the swimming pool. :)

Thanks.... Actually the drone kept DROPPING in altitude. I was flying about 5-6 above and it constantly had trouble maintaining the height. I did find this on another thread. The ultrasonic sensors project sound out like radar. The sound waves come back and depending on the frequency and...

Today I was flying over a creek with swift water. The Mavic had issues with maintaining height and almost lost it in the water twice. Keeping in mind I'm having to fly low to get this footage. About 4-6 feet. So I figured I'd try turning them off. My question is... I've heard that the Mavic uses...
