    Tiny Planet of Hanalei

    I use Litchi to take the shots and PTgui to stitch them together.

    No Drone Zone (Kauai)

    LOL. I give up. ;)

    No Drone Zone (Kauai)

    Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. The reason I chose not to fly was not because of the "No Drone Zone" sign, but because this was a wildlife refuge. The area was teeming with birdlife and flying a drone in this location would surely be disruptive to their habitat in all kinds of...

    No Drone Zone (Kauai)

    I scouted this location outside Hanalei on Kauai for its lush landscape and dramatic backdrop. Headed out before dawn only to discover it is actually a national wildlife refuge so there's no way I was going to launch the Mavic. For those who might be tempted to fly a drone here, the local...

    Order & Receive Thread

    Thanks for the tip. I was wondering about changing the shipping options as mine is scheduled to arrive next Monday the 19th, and I leave for Hawaii on Saturday the 17th. I'm not sure the package will have reached my city that early though. I guess I can call Fedex customer service and find out.

    Got the email and shipping notification.... Seven days to get from Atlanta to Seattle?! Hopefully that will change.

    Parkour from above. Amazing.

    This is not mine, but I wanted to share it because it is a great example of a cool concept coupled with excellent cinematography and editing. The music brings it all together. The problem with most drone videos is that they lack creativity and originality (mine included)...but not this effort...

    My Tiny Planet

    I used auto for the capture, but I still had to correct the exposure in post (using Lightroom) for many of the images.

    My Tiny Planet

    First attempt at a tiny planet panorama from the Mavic. Created using Litchi and PTgui for the Mac.

    First attempt in color grading

    Looking at the footage it appears that your shadows have lost all their detail and the image seems to be too dark overall. My guess is that the LUT pushes the contrast and saturation way up, which causes the loss of detail. Similarly many of the highlights are blown out - you might want to look...

    Should i take my mavic to Oahu for my sons wedding

    If you DON'T take your Mavic, you'll be kicking yourself because Hawaii is crammed with amazing flying and photo opportunities. Last year I spent a week on the north shore right next to Kawela Bay and got some great footage. Head up the road to Waimea Bay for some more visually interesting...

    Is my Mavic suffering from a cold?

    OK, that's good to know. As for the dropping video signal, I might try and troubleshoot that one by trying the Litchi app, and also trying an android phone and a different cable. The forecast for the lake this weekend is cold with more snow (we had a foot of fresh snow yesterday). Winter just...
