    Drone crash - survived

    When I was waiting for my drone a few years back, I read and appreciated many of the posts here. Now that I have my own (happy so far) crash story, I figured I would share. WARNING: This is not overly dramatic or exciting. The drone was found immediately. I'm posting an airdata link for anyone...

    Niagara Falls?

    Correct, it's not technically a NFZ on the US side but the requirements are challenging (maintain radio contact, etc.).

    Mavic flew away

    In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are quite different!

    Creating Panoramas in Lightroom

    I tried to stitch some panoramas in Lightroom, but it errored out when trying to do perspective panoramas. There was a note about not having the camera profile. How long does it take for the MA profile to make its way into Lightroom?

    What Would You Do?

    Battery pack to recharge controller would be a good contingency item. I would also try connecting via phone wifi (and hope like heck you can't switch connection methods to an in-flight Mavic of course).

    Lowepro Protactic 350 vs 450 thoughts

    I have a DSLR with a few lenses and flash and was looking for a bag to hold it and a Mavic Air (fly more). I ordered the Protactic 350 but it was not quite large enough - I could theoretically get a minimum set of stuff in there but it was tight and not very optimally placed. The big issue is...

    OsitaLV And The Mavic Pro 2/Spark 2/Inspire 3: All Just A Hoax?

    Only time will tell. He did catch the MA pretty well. For all we know he was right but now DJI is onto him and feeding false info. :)

    Decision Time for me ...

    msinger cited the best source for rumors. I got an Air and am very happy with it because size and price (and having it NOW!) were more important to me than the rumored changes.

    Decision Time for me ...

    If portability and price are less relevant I'd consider waiting for the Mavic Pro 2 which (according to rumors) is due in the next few months.

    Dog attack after 20 minute fixation

    I would have restrained the dog rather than the drone, but then I didn't see the dog!
