    Really nice color correcting, super cinematic.

    Meet Warsaw, the capital of Poland

    What a great tour of Warsaw! I’m just seeing that you posted this a few years ago, but I have to ask - how much do the people of Poland love Morrissey that his face is on the entire side of a building?! What a great looking city - thanks!

    Platinum Asbury Park, New Jersey

    This is so great, thank you filming Asbury Park! It breaks my heart a little to see the north end Pavillion area burned down... I guess it had been up and running as Dunes Cafe but I knew it as Perkins when I was a kid. Lots of changes there, but so great to see. Thanks!

    2 Pro Blue - A Video Anthology of The Third Coast in Winter

    Very nicely done. I liked that a lot.

    Mini 2 Neolithic Burial Mound, Oxfordshire UK

    You’d faded the other scenes into each other so nicely and the hard stop at the end contrasted well. It stood out for me as being a good choice.

    Mavic Air 2 crash. Dang.

    Wanted to write a quick followup about getting my MA2 repaired through mailing it in to DJI in Texas. My gimbal was broken, and the gimbal part was $35 to replace, plus $65 for labor, with free shipping both ways. I agreed to all charges, I got a notification that they'd fixed it, then they sent...

    Is this a predominantly male hobby?

    There's a Facebook group called Women Who Drone that's got plenty of members, including FPV pilots. I'd guess there are probably a lot of women like me here who haven't thought to bring up our gender because there's been no reason for it.

    Mavic Air 2 crash. Dang.

    Sorry you crashed your MA2. I'm right there with you about how bad it feels. I was wondering why mine didn't give an alert about obstacle avoidance either, but in my case the powerlines weren't enough to trigger it (and the manual, upon close reading, unfortunately says that will be the case...

    Mavic Air 2 crash. Dang.

    Turns out I did have the Disable Sideways Flight toggled due to the update. Thanks for suggesting that as being the culprit because I'm not sure I would have figured it out otherwise. I've been reading about repairing it outside of official DJI channels, and it looks like a gimbal error will...

    Mavic Air 2 crash. Dang.

    Hi all. Today I crashed my MA2 into powerlines. So much room below, so much room above, but I slammed right into them. I'll share some quick details and hopefully someone can give me some guidance. Pictures and video included for the horror of it. When I started up the MA2 the horizon line...

    2 Zoom Friday Fool'n Around Episode 3 - Burbank

    Uncle Bob - great Burbank shots! So nice to see. And from what I hear you likely had to brave the hot January weather to film all that too. Question - at 3:50, what is that building right off the circular roundabout/parking lot? Some kind of visitor center?

    2 Zoom Friday Fool'n Around

    After seeing aqueducts from driving on the 5 for years it was fun to see them from the air. Your info says you’re in Tujunga - if you’re taking requests it would be fun to see a flight in the Burbank Starlight Bowl area and surrounding hills!

    Air 2 Amazing Places

    Amazing compilation of worldwide footage! I think you have a great compositional eye and great job editing too.

    Updated place to fly in SF Bay Area/East Bay/South Bay

    I believe Martin's Beach is flyable -- I've recently flown just north and just south of it. Please post what you shoot!

    Many shots are feature film worthy! Nice work.
