Nah, I was specifically thinking about full disassembly for a professional looking finish. Painting or dying isn't difficult but I don't know if there are any complications I should look out for when pulling it apart. I've since learned that you can't take the shell off the battery so I've...

This is a major reason I ended up buying both, so when my friends are out with me they can fly too but with something less intimidating than the Pro 2.

I've been scammed all kinds of ways with online purchases and I've never had a problem getting my money back. Once was even from Amazon Prime Now who packed it in their own warehouse in my City and drove it straight over and when I opened the box my very expensive computer part was nowhere to be...

Yeah, I put a wrapgrade skin on it. Looks really good as far as skins go but still looks like a sticker to me. I'm just sorta considering dying it at this point but I've already started taking off the wrap. I did a fair job applying it and it's not the small imperfections that I don't like, it's...

Depends on what you're going to be taking videos of in California. If its just for quick group shots of you and the family or you're going to be backpacking for twenty miles then the Spark would be my choice. Any other scenario and I would grab a Mavic. If you're not carrying it in addition to...

I'm thinking about taking my Mavic Pro 2 apart and dying the body with Rit dye but I thought I would ask here first if anyone had experience with that or a specific reason to warn against it aside from immediately losing my care refresh that I literally just purchased. I have this thing where...

I don't really agree with everyone else. I personally did what I felt like was a lot of research before making my choice with the Mavic Pro 2 and it never once occurred to me that my phone might not work. I think a lot of people who aren't specifically familiar with the DJI app compatibility...

Filters are cheap, for drones at least, and time is expensive. If over the course of the next two years you have only one day where you use a certain filter and it allows you to take only one, good, picture that you would have missed without it then it's easily worth the $18 or whatever it cost...

The building on the right is in better focus than the building behind it which is about even with the tower. You missed focus, happens to the best of us sometimes.

I agree and this is the point that I was trying to make. It may not live up to my initial expectations but I am sure I will be able to get good use out of it. I use film because I am an enthusiastic amateur but if I was in any way shooting for money I would absolutely shoot digitial. Film just...

Is it the NDPL filter? Those are supposed to rotate. Shouldn't be too "loose" "but you're supposed to be able to turn it.

[ Yeah the 1" sensor and the gimbal is what convinced me to drop the cash on this. I've since learned what a 1" sensor is and that is a disappointment that will probably always taint my perception of DJI but I'm not too worried about the low dynamic range. I shoot like 95% film and none of it...

I figured you would pretty much be focusing at infinity since there's no foreground when you're in the air. Also kinda bummed about the shutter speed limits. Granted it takes me about 15 tries to take a good photo at 1/4 by hand, and I can't fly so the drone definitely has me beat, I had hoped...

I feel like you can always add a battery or case later but you can't add a zoom to your drone later. I had a similar question about getting a fully accessorized Mavic Air for 1k or Pro 2 for 1.5k and I was told I'd be happier with the better kit than with a bigger one in the long run. Also in...

Does the existing cover for the Mav 2 have any sort of coating? I would imagine that with any sort of aerial or long distance photography you would want some kind of haze filter at least some of the time but was surprised that my search didn't turn up any.
