That is my Kia Sorento under that pile. My wife clearing a path for the mailman.

Our little town of Ludlow, VT made National News yesterday because of the record snowfall. We had 42" in our yard. I sent the drone up but got a cold temp warning and returned it quickly. I sent some footage to the local NBC affilliate and they aired it last night.

I bought the Dronelink program for my Mini and used it to take a 360 panorama. It was surprisingly easy to use. I then took the 23 individual photos and stitched them together with Image Composite Editor. The horizons aren't perfectly symmetric because I live near mountains. I

That makes sense. I have a lot to learn!

In early May I ordered a set of these ND filters on Amazon. They took more than 2 months to arrive and it looks like I wasted my money. Here are two tests I conducted. Shouldn't I be seeing more of a difference?

I just realized that the text in the opening shot reads DJI "Magic" instead of Mavic. Oh well, in a way, it is magic.... :p

This 73 year old is having a wonderful time with my Mini. In the first few months I've had some pretty good luck. I posted this on Facebook and got some very good suggesions. Please let me know what you think.

Yep, I had read them. A lot of thought went into those posts. I'm stubborn enough to think the original case should function without causing problems. I'm not convinced that sometimes the error messages aren't erroneous. As I mentioned above, the same props that gave an error message...

I've been using the case and have been careful aligning the bottom props according to the instructions. I just wonder if these error messages are false readings. After the right rear props triggered the warning last evening I shut everything down. Today without swapping out the props it flew...

It happened again tonight. Propeller speed error with the brand new blades. The left rear was indicated (again?). I changed the props and sent it aloft again only to get the same warning. This time I just let is hover at 50 feet altitiude (it was too windy higher up) and shot a video of the...

Just normal settings. The top of the fog bank was just below 400 feet. I did a 360 to show the mountain behind my house popping up through the fog.

I was so excited to see the sun emerge I forgot to change my Mini's aperture. Next time.....

I downloaded the DJI Flight Simulator for my PC and it's asking for an Activation Code. The link explaining how to get it has no info. What should I do? I've been flying my Mini for a couple of months,.. Is the simulator even worth using?

I've run into that twice. It says max altitude 98' when it wouldn't go over 16'. When I checked the system's max altitude, it had reset itself to over 700'. When I set it back to under 400' I was able to climb to that altitude. I had never before experienced weak signals in my neighborhood...

After sending my Mini back to customer service for multiple Motor Speed Errors,reavis I now have a new problem. It was hovering just below 400' yesterday when I got a message saying "Propellers Rotating too Fast". The drone's performance wasn't impacted but I brought it down anyhow. Upon...
