    Daytona 500 - drone used by Fox Sports

    It’s not a Mavic but Fox Sport is using a drone in their Daytona 500 broadcast. It’s getting some great shots and the announcers have remarked about it’s speed keeping up with the pace car that is traveling 80 mph.

    Possibly the best editing I've done so far.

    First, great shooting! Lots of good comments above. I would not use postering on the humans. It doesn’t fit any other part of the video. It’s hard to ignore the special affects when the editing software makes it so easy to use but ignore them and stick with quality video.

    New Canadian rules

    I hold a private pilot license in the US. It is honored in Canada but a UAV 107 certificate might not be. Interesting!!!

    New Canadian rules

    I also travel in Canada and planning a trip through the Meritimes this summer. I sure hope the confusion gets ironed out so I can use my drone while traveling through some of the great and picturesque parts of North America.

    DJI reps say they are sold out of Mavic Pros

    Ya I know but I’ve been in their shoes when our company was getting ready to introduce a new product so I didn’t press a lot. Most likely, local reps don’t have many details about product launches more than a couple days before they occur.

    DJI reps say they are sold out of Mavic Pros

    Attending EAA AirVenture this week and stopped by the DJI booth. They had tons of Mavic Airs on display. I saw only one Phantom and a couple Inspires. There were no Mavic Pros nor Mavic Pro Platinums nor was there a single brochure for them so I asked one of the reps if she had any. She said...

    CPU Overload - IPad Mini going to the shelf

    I use a mini 2 and had the first glitch when I was experimenting with follow me mode. I switched to my iPhone 7 and it worked perfectly. DJI was exhibiting at AirVenture so I talked to a rep about my issue and he said there is a huge difference in processing power of the mini 2 and mini 4. Last...

    Visit with DJI reps

    I attended AirVenture (Oshkosh) last week and discovered DJI had a booth so had a short visit with the DJI rep who answered a few questions. 1. The Go 4 app on my iPad Mini 2 has only crashed once but was a bit startling and I wanted to see what might have happened. The rep said the computing...

    Which iPad...

    I have an iPad mini 2 which works perfectly in normal fly mode and tripod mode but the app will sometimes crash in some of the modes that require a bit more processing power. I talked to a DJI rep at EAA AirVenture this week. He said he wasn't surprised that I had app crashes and strongly...

    Age poll

    ive attended several drone related seminars at the EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh this week. Well over half of each session is filled with grey haired folks. I flipped number 70 this week and enjoy flying my Mavic while the youngsters are off at work. :)

    Anti Flicker won't adjust

    Well done Splatt. I suspect it's a bug but your recipe worked perfectly.

    Anti Flicker won't adjust

    I had to reload the Go4 app and cannot get the Anti-Flicker the adjust to 60Hz. My video format setting is NTSC which should give me 60Hz but would like to have the Anti-Flicker set correctly too. Any ideas?

    Upgraded and can't go over 98'

    Wow, timely thread. I had the same issue. Only 98 feet for top altitude and 150 feet distance. I reloaded the firmware on my iPad mini Ver. 2 with no luck so tried my iPhone 7. Bingo, that worked like a charm so deleted the Go 4 app from the mini and reloaded it - SUCCESS. Before launch, I...

    Radar

    I still consider myself a newbie and trying to get comfortable flying distances but like others, I use it to point the way home. I have a pilot license with a couple thousand hour of flight time and used pointers and needles all the time. It's amazing though, even with all that flying time, i...
