    How precise is your RTH?

    I find that most drone pilots make two big mistakes related to this. First, they believe they can run their controller on a smartphone that isn't an Apple product. DJI specifically states to use iphones or ipads. The IOS system is the best for this and runs more accurately. Android is not so...

    DJI Mavic Air First Flight | Boston 4k HD

    Ah! Good old Boston. My American relatives live there. Aunts, cousins, old school mates from eastern Canada... Haven't gone through there since 1996 and haven't visited there since 1969! Great slow shots (tho too much icy bay for me). Nice editing. And MIT thrown in for a surplus! Thanks.

    Australia's Northern Territory- the "Top End"

    Splendid stuff, Chris. I have a Mavic Air and am impressed by the high quality of video it gives me. I also know the tedious (but enjoyable) process of editing (I use Pinnacle 21 Studio). You are right about the use of light and shadows... you have done that extremely well. Especially the aerial...

    Flying in a park

    I don't understand what you mean by " the lack of respect you yourself show is sad ...". I have full respect for first nations, maybe more than most Canadians. I was pointing out the fact that this is a provincial park, owned by all Albertans, including me, and yet the first nations there have...

    Golden bridges autumn

    Very neat. This is how all nature videos should be done: smooth and careful. But don't dwell too long on those rocks and trees. Thank you.

    Recent Ranch I shot in the West Texas Davis Mountains

    Is all of this your ranch? Just kidding. Texas is a great place. Drove through the panhandle once, loved it. Reminds me of my home in Alberta... we have much of the same scenery, but better grazing land! Great shots... thanks for sharing.

    Taking By POLICE

    You have what seems like a weak case: flying at night, over people? oops! And "flying from my own property" counts for nothing - what counts is where your drone was... I sympathize, but advise that you use better discretion when flying near people. The wilderness is the best place for a drone...

    Sharing a Beautiful Video

    Incredibly good video clips. I know from experience it's a lot of work to put this together like that. I flew my own drone over rocks and peaks... a lot of fun. Reminds me a lot of western Newfoundland in Canada... same kind of scenery... mountains, fiords, falls, cliffs. Splendid. Especially...

    Can't register with DJI Go 4 app

    Back out of programs and restart all devices. Scrap your Go4 app and download it again. I had that problem... Reboot your wi-fi and/or modem if necessary. Alphanumeric passwords (combination of letters and numbers) are often case sensitive. Try inserting TWO capital letters. Are you using...

    AZ Cracking down on drones

    I can understand the privacy concerns, especially around cities. I see a rising resentment (often for no good reason) about drones in the air. When you stop and consider it, there are loads of jets and helicopters and other vehicles flying around. Our small drones are unobtrusive if flown at...
