    Greetings from Denmark! Old SparkPilots lurker, new MavicPilots lurker.

    Not as much as I thought I had, but here are some samples of my early video editing attempts. YouTube downscaled my stuff early on, so the quailty is not the best, but at least you get an idea of the regions presented. Kvistgård, Denmark - directly above my apartment at 100m - DJI Spark...

    Greetings from Denmark! Old SparkPilots lurker, new MavicPilots lurker.

    Probably the easiest way to show my drones is to just post the 'Fleet' page on my business website. Not meant as a shameless plug, it just summarizes what I use each of them for. http://aerial.ventures/?page_id=132 Most videos and photos I've taken are under some kind of NDA, contract, or...

    Does anyone know what these are used for on top of the hill?

    From Wikipedia: "Mount Lee continues to be the site of various non-commercial radio activities, but television transmissions ceased from that location in October 1951...The large tower atop Mount Lee today is owned and operated by the City of Los Angeles. It is a newer structure which replaced...

    Help Mavic air lost signal over water

    My amatuer guess is that when you did the battery switch, it updated the home point to where it thought it was on reboot based on GPS numbers that hadn't settled down - perhaps it was still finding more satellites for more accuracy, but you took off before that could happen and so it had some...

    Same here. Getting long in the tooth trying to keep up with younger programmers. Still got the edge a bit with drone operations! :D

    Digital zoom for MP2 ?

    Just like every other company. This is why I scour eBay and local classifieds for people selling their Sparks. I got enough parts and accessories to last me another 5-10 years. :D

    Digital zoom for MP2 ?

    If you mean the Mavic 2 Pro, then you probably won't see a digital zoom added to the existing firmware - DJI traded off zoom for a better over-all camera. The M2P has a higher pixel count than the Zoom (20MP versus 12MP), larger image size, and includes more info in the image (10-bit Dlog-M...

    M2E no Intelligent Flight Modes?!

    Can people reasonably confirm that the Litchi app is the current 'stable' alternative for IFM abilities for M2E and M2ED? Or are there other favorites for mission planning-type flights?
