    New to Air 3 - Zoom control question: Video mode

    Thanks so much for the quick response - that now makes perfect sense. I also hadn't realised that you cannot swap between lenses/cameras whilst recording, which was limiting me to the digital zoom adjustments! AOK now! Cheers, jason

    New to Air 3 - Zoom control question: Video mode

    Hi folks, Long time Mavic Pro user, recently upgraded to Air 3. I shoot video professionally, so image quality is everything to me. Although I recognise I've compromised with the Air 3 vs. the Mavic Cine pro, this was my budget, so I'm just trying to maximise my quality with this drone...

    Waterfall, rainbow and colorful landscapes!

    Really beautiful shots of some stunning landscapes, thanks for sharing. If there’s one personal constructive criticism I would offer, it would be on the editing side of things. Personally I found that ‘splitting’ certain shots became rather frustrating to me (I mean when you cut away from one...

    flying from one island to another (Grenada-Caribbean)

    Each to their own, but I don’t really understand why you would want to try this. Apart from the ‘bragging rights’, the footage is pretty boring, no? Hope you don’t think I’m trying to be aggressive, I’m just interested in your motives - I know there are a millions different reasons people like...

    Mavic Music Video - VFX Madness

    Hey folks, Here's a music video I recently produced for my brother's band. All backplates shot with MP in Portland, England. Birds eye view green screen shots also. Other footage shot with Sony FS7. Any comments appreciated! Cheers, Jason

    Mavic in Greece

    Hey folks, I'll be travelling from the UK to Greece for a week's holiday at the end of the month. We'll be spending time in some stunning landscapes, and I'd love to have my MP along to see what footage I can grab. I've done some background research online and haven't found any horror stories...

    Misty beautiful sunrise

    Beautiful footage!!! Well done on following through with the early bird mentality! Only input from my side (as a closet colour grading fanatic), would be that I think these images would really shine with a touch more darkness in the shadows/blacks, plus a TOUCH more saturation on all but the...

    How high can you go? Extreme altitude test

    Great footage Ian, nice one man! Bummer about your dodgy gimbal too - these things always happen at the worst moment, I live in fear of the first time I get mine out of the bag only to find that it won't cooperate. I guess on the bright side at least you were able to pick up a replacement...

    Mauritius from the air so far....

    Beautiful place - great shots too! Just a note as you're flying over water so much, double-check that you have 'landing protection' disabled, and possibly the downward sensors in their entirety. Seems like quite a few folks have lost their MP with L/P enabled, when the bird decided to land in...

    Praça Mauá - Rio de Janeiro

    Lovely shots in a beautiful environment. I agree that the edit could be a little tighter, with some shots shorter, and less repeated (or revisited) shots. On another note I just wanted to point out that in some of the bird's-eye shots, you're clearly flying directly above large crowds of public...

    where to fly in London? UK

    I find the data provided on NoFlyDrones quite confusing. Although the large blue zones covering almost all of central London are marked as "Controlled Airspace", and definitely derived from London City & Heathrow, they're way too big to be the absolute NFZs for those airports. I think they cover...

    Anyone turning all their Obstacle Avoidance off?

    Jeeeeezus man, you DO know what you're doing. That's the longest, fastest, lowest, pass I think I've ever seen! Respect to the madman! [emoji12][emoji13][emoji1305][emoji85] Wanna see you doing similar over water! Jason

    Panic encounter

    Good solid logic, very reasonably stated. Thank you sir, one of my only problems with this forum is how quickly things can degenerate into a ****-slinging match. Cheers, jason

    2.7 or 4k?

    I agree that more sensors would increase the CPU load in the hypothetical MP2, but it doesn't necessarily follow that higher video bit rate would also increase load. It would certainly require faster cards to cope with the bandwidth, but the dynamics of compression (i.e. how good of an algorithm...
