Hi, Thanks for getting in touch. To be honest, other than practicing in local city parks, I haven't done much flying in OC so I'm not the best person to ask. I've seen other members offering suggestions. Here is one I found after doing a search. Hello from Southern California Cheers.

Ah, I thought so. I spent a week up in Bellarena in the mid 80s doing a beginners course at the gliding club. A beautiful area. Take care!

Very nice shots, Tom. I left Northern Ireland in the 80s, but if I'm not mistaken, the last one looks a lot like Binevenagh. Cheers.

I just checked the zipper length on the pocket and you would definitely be able to slide in a tablet 9.8" long.

I think the most important thing to check is the physical dimensions of the table case rather than the size of the screen. My iPadi is screen is 9.5" diagonally but the outer dimension of the iPad diagonally is 11.25." If you can give me the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the outside of...

Hi, When you say 10.2" tablet, do you mean the widest width of the outside of tablet case horizontally or the diagonal measurement of the outside of the tablet case? My iPad Air2 is just under 9.5 horizontally and it fits with room to spare. If you can confirm the measurement, I'll see if i...

Hi Maelstrom, I did consider that case because it looks very nice and is definitely superior but I couldn't find it here in the U.S. The cost of roughly $80.00 plus shipping from Germany, compared with $36.00 and free shipping from Amazon took it off my list. Cheers! John

After getting my Mavic Mini Fly More Combo last year, I purchased a GPC hard case for storage and transportation. However, I’ve been reading a lot about the issues people have been experiencing with their props after storing the MM folded in a case for some time. Yes, I know that DJI recommends...

Hi, I have six Mavic Mini batteries. The only reason I purchased this was to get a better indication of the charge state of each so that I can determine the best order to charge them when using a QC 3.0 power bank in the field. Cheers.

Hi, I did a search of the forum before I posted this but couldn't see a previous post. I came across this Mavic Mini Battery Tester on Amazon for only $12.99. It arrived today and works perfectly. As you can see, not only does have bars indicating the approximate charge remaining, it displays a...

Hi Dale - Thanks for your comments. I took a look at the beautiful images on your website. I really liked your shots of the Alabama Hills, Mono Lake and the various lakes in the mountains. My wife and I are heading back up to Lone Pine and Bishop for a week next month. She wants to shoot the...

Hi Paul - Thanks for your suggestions and example edits to the video. I appreciate you going to the trouble to show me some alternatives. I hadn't thought about reversing some of the scenes - that definitely looked different and I'll try that next time. Thanks again.

Thanks for your suggestions. I didn't have the ND filters at time the video was shot but I do have them now. I'm hoping to try them in the same location next month. Cheers.

Hi Guys In early January 2020, my wife and I spent a few days visiting the Alabama Hills near Lone Pine, California. Her plan was to shoot landscape images in this amazing location. My goal was to make my first flights with my newly purchased DJI Mavic Mini drone. I cautiously practiced basic...

Hello Guys, I purchased a Mavic Mini last Christmas and spent a few days learning basic flying skills in early January while visiting the Alabama Hills near Lone Pine, California. I recently started learning digital video editing using Filmora9 and decided to use some of the clips I shot in...
