Don’t try and do it while flying, do it in post using the Ken Burns effect (iMovie) - much easier and controllable.

Flying a 'Track Me' mission ,and having set Maven to update the home point every 25 metres (I was walking along the beach), I got a red warning that said, 'Unable to Update Home Point' after walking about 100 metres.. The indicator in the bottom right of the screen showed that I still had a good...

Personally I think a timelapse of a waterfall is the wrong thing to do. The columns of water look jerky and not at all natural. The exposure, white balance etc is not really relevant if the shot is ill conceived in the first place. You would have produced a more pleasing shot if you had used a...

Wow! That's all, just Wow!

Hand landing makes life much easier...

Maven app has an 'In Flight' mission, with which you can add waypoints as you go. Very useful in that you can make a tricky flight, such as flying through a window or under a low bridge, slowly and carefully. Save the mission, edit it at your leisure, then fly it again, fast and cinematically...

The skin came from DroneWrapz in Glasgow, Scotland. Ordered from their website, it arrived by post very quickly (I'm in South Africa).

I use the ski type landing gear. The gear is very light, very cheap and can be fitted or removed in seconds. It is similar to yours as far as landing on the ground is concerned but it's probably a bit easier to grasp for hand landing. For hand landing I fly the drone to about 1.5 metres in front...

I use the ski type landing gear which makes hand launch and land easy and safe. The gear is very light, very cheap and can be fitted or removed in seconds. For hand landing I fly the drone to about 1.5 metres in front of me and about 0.5 m above my head height. When it is settled into a hover I...

Beautiful! Cuts nicely timed with the soundtrack, but subtly. Sailed round The Lizard many times on the way to the Scillies and in all sorts of weather…

I fly my MA2 from inside my truck using the Maven app. It tracks me perfectly even though I have no sunroof. So filming mountain passes and scenic landscapes with a moving vehicle in shot is quite easily achievable… 😎🇿🇦

I use Maven - perfect for iOS and does everything Litchi does, and more. Michele, the developer, is easily contactable and will answer any queries you may have. Also he keeps developing the App so that before long it will mean you will be able to do things you haven’t even thought of yet! It's...

Did you watch the final, finished video? The guy's something of an expert and I don't think it was, in his case, a stupid thing to do at all... p.s. I didn't think there could be anyone on this forum older than I am! p.p.s. I lived in South Devon for 27 years...

My MA2 has a DroneWrapz skin. It's bright day-glo green but they do orange too. They're in Glasgow, Scotland but they post the skin to you really quickly.
