Thanks for replying. Mt.Battie would be a great place to fly too, hopefully they'll lift some of the restrictions. I do understand the state park restrictions if people are disturbing the environment or chasing wildlife but I doubt that is done very often with drones. It seems like most are...

I've noticed lately a bunch of drone videos on instagram that are definitely taken in restricted areas around Portland and in the Jetport no fly zone. Are people just hoping no one figures out its a no fly zone? Wondering if people fly early morning in hopes to not get caught? Places like Bug...

Thank you so much everyone, I really appreciate the feedback. :)

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone had any external hard drives they recommend? I'm only on week one of flying and already my Mac is filling up to capacity storage wise and I need a good external option. It didn't take long with a few HD videos and RAW photos for me to realize I need an...

Thanks so much for posting these tutorials, this is really helpful. I will definitely take a look before my next attempt at a sunrise flight.

If the app does prevent from flying in restricted areas that would be helpful, I usually look on the map within the app before flying to check and see if its in any of the airport danger zones. I'm in Portland so there are warnings within the app around the Jetport. I was wondering if the...

Thank you Marty, I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I'm obviously very new to this and haven't played around with the settings too much (only on week 1 with a drone). I have also heard that if you put it in AEB mode it will take multiple pictures of the same scene using different...

Hello, thanks for responding to this thread. I have noticed the number of restrictions on scenic locations across the state is significant. I think the state park restriction is probably the most frustrating given that I buy the annual state park pass each year it would've been nice to fly and...

Hello everyone, I'm very new to flying and just recently started flying my Mavic Pro Platinum. I've been struggling a bit to capture the colors in sunrise photos and was wondering if anyone had any tips for a beginner like me? I have adjusted the exposure while flying and it hasn't done much...

Thank you for the UAV app suggestion, that will also make it easier to plan. I made the mistake of going to York last weekend to fly at Nubble Light and when I got there it was at least 3x as windy as in Portland and was unable to fly (or at least to my comfort level).

That's good to know you can fly from Spring Point, right now since its the off season there are less people around so it does make it easier to get in and out of that area. I actually considered flying there this morning but went to the Portland Headlight instead, got there and realized I forgot...

Hello, Damariscotta has some beautiful coastal areas, looking forward to seeing your photos/videos. Maybe you can get some aerial shots of the Pumpkin Regatta next year, that would be such a fun event to fly if allowed.

That's a really nice shot of the fort. Did you take this from the East Prom or Peaks? I'm still new to flying so I'm still a bit timid with the cold temps/winds we've had lately and flying over the ocean.

Thank you, I have looked at it a bit already but plan on a taking a closer look this week.

Thank you so much for the welcome. I have taken a few videos of the Portland Headlight, seemed like a good spot to start, but I have to admit it was extremely busy that day and I did worry about dropping into the ocean or having it fall out of the sky lol. I think the challenge I've found so far...
