    CS 1 vs 2? Thoughts?

    Does anyone think there will be an update (hardware wise) to the CS line? Like using the tech that is in the SC now?

    flying in yellow zones

    there is a very small check box within that popup you have to hit before hitting yes or accept or whatever it says. Did you make sure to check that box?

    CS 1 vs 2? Thoughts?

    Thanks everyone for the responses.. Very informative. That XS max is $1K ouch. It seems like the lag issue is not production wise.

    DJI RUMOR:New DJI Smart Controller Hints That CrystalSky 2 Coming Ive only been in the drone game for 4 or 5 months so I have little experience overall with any of this. I own a M2Z. I REALLY want a screen that doesn't suck when flying outside in Sunny weather (I live in San Diego). I...

    Firmware V01.00.0300

    Still on 4.3.11. .12 is not available to me yet. The gear is on .300. I was taking a series of pano/vert/horizontal/, the HDR etc when i realized it wouldn't go back into single mode shot, i also lost my zoom function (M2Z) on the wheel. I had to go into my pictures (within the app) and then...

    Firmware V01.00.0300

    My Android Go4 ver is 4.3.11 still. I was able to update RC and Batts to .300 but had to connect to Assistant 2 to get the AC updated. Timed out with the phones wifi. Flew it around for a couple minutes and it works. I only peeked into the Active Track and the options changed. Didnt have much...

    24" Hoodman adequate for a sandy/beach environment?

    Off topic ... - I do too. Been to all the islands multiple times. Kauai is my favorite (just watch out for all the **** chickens everywhere lol). Will be my first time in the islands with a drone. Wife is super thrilled too (not). I bet drone footage in Maui - in the area after Hana, and...

    24" Hoodman adequate for a sandy/beach environment?

    Didnt think of that option. Must admit, Kind of nervous about doing that BUT I will watch some vid's and maybe practice it at home as that does sound like the best option.

    24" Hoodman adequate for a sandy/beach environment?

    Thanks for the info Devil (and Thunder!)! Looks like i better just get used to humping the 36" around. I mean its not really a big deal, was just hoping to have my cake and eat it too. I have a Tahoe 150 backpack by Lowepro and having that 13" Bright *** Orange bag clipped to it is like a beacon...

    24" Hoodman adequate for a sandy/beach environment?

    Well bigger is better in this case I think. I'm a decent pilot so not concerned with the smaller size of the pad. I just want to make sure it will do its job and keep sand out. :-)

    Mavic2 smart controller....

    God Bless you early adopters. I am waiting to see more reviews of this RC as more of them get into the wild. I will not buy anything DJI until it has been out for several months at least because I feel all DJI product are rushed out the door before it is 100% ready for prime time. Hope you guys...

    24" Hoodman adequate for a sandy/beach environment?

    I like the hoodman's because they are weighted and they seem well made compared to some other pads ive seen in person. I bought the 36" hoodman for my mavic 2 and have no complaints other than the size of it once it is folded/coiled up. BTW, what a PITA it was to fold it back up the first time...

    ND Filter for Tropical Area (Hawaii)

    Good info thank you! So do you find yourself flying (or filming) in straight lines when you have a PL installed? Then taking a bunch of separate "straight line" clips and stitching them in post? Seems to me unless you are getting very specific scenes or shots, it may be best just to leave the PL...

    ND Filter for Tropical Area (Hawaii)

    Thank you CD, so what I am hearing is that the PL is ineffective with the sun at the AC's back and that the light (sun) should be 90 deg. That is good to know. What about getting a shot while pointing at the sun...for instance a horizon shot towards the sun either directly facing, or slightly...
