    Question: travel from Phoenix to Albuquerque

    Don't know how far off route you want to go, but Apache Lake, W of Rosevelt Lake has some spectacular cliffs and canyons (canyons & cliffs at E end, mesas and more cliffs at W end). Then NE of the E end of Rosevelt Lake just off Highway 288 (variously called "The Globe-Youngsville Road", "Tall...

    Mavic 3 or Mavic 3 Cine RID Compliance Sticker?

    Mavic 3 / 3 Cine Colleagues: I just renewed my FAA Registration account & I think I’ve successfully jumped through most of the hoops. However, two thing remain unclear to me: 1. My Mavic 3 Cine has the most recent firmware and I‘ve confirmed that RID is functioning properly. But some...

    M3 Cine RC Pro link issue

    Hello Breezeway: Welcome to the forum. I suspect there are others here with more experience than me who may provide better suggestions. However, I think I recall that binding a drone to an account involves the controller as well - thus if one of your drones is bound via one of your...

    WaterFall TimeLapse - ND1000 - Let me Know thoughts

    I agree with Dale D. I found the jittery nature of the waterfall entering the pool below distracting. The composition and subject were great, but for me a still image with a long shutter speed to soften the flow would be something I'd return to view repeatedly. Howard

    3 Yukon River Breakup video

    I’ve used bear spray on aggressive dogs while cycling in New Mexico and I’ve learned to try and computed resultant vector force of wind angle, my speed and direction; along with the dog’s angle of attack. Unfortunately I fail frequently - thus occasionally riding through that slightly misty...

    3 Yukon River Breakup video

    That's two words.... But thanks for the advice! We're definitely taking bear spray on the trip. Also, just saw that most of the Noatak is open, bit of ice jammed up down at the mouth but decreasing daily. Seasonal things happen fast up in your neck of the woods, don't they? Howard Howard

    3 Yukon River Breakup video

    Great video! I have a 400+ mile canoe trip on the Noatak coming up in late June. After watching your video I’m monitoring the ice there…. Howard

    Mavic 3 gimbal stuck error

    I’ve had this error when I forget to remove the foam yoke just behind the gimbal initially installed by DJI for shipping. Howard

    Harming birds

    I use DJI’s propeller guards for the Mini 2 when I fly mine within tree canopies or slot canyons. Those guards provide the type of protection I’m after, but they do trigger the payload warning and switch to payload flight (limiting height above takeoff point and distance). However, I...

    Best power bank to charge Mavic 3 battery?

    I think there is a problem with our understanding of power bank capacity & how energy moves from one storage unit to another. I used to think of stored energy like fluid in a tank - two gallons in one tank can ”flow” into another tank so that the first tank is empty and the second tank has two...
