    Air 2 Two weeks in Mongolia (a drone pilots paradise)

    Just beautiful. Most 30 second+ videos go on too long, this was captivating the whole way through. I really like you kept the clips short and interesting. And those resting horses look well used to drones!

    Bird-strike yesterday. Mavic 2 pro

    Well, it happened at last. Bird did not survive the encounter, but the drone did. I launched my Mavic 2 Pro yesterday and moved away out over farmland in prep of turning back to photo a house for sale. I weren’t watching the distance, but got the drone around 100m out when two shrieking...

    2 Pro Cape May, New Jersey

    That would be amazing - Do it! The town looks an incredible place. I know nothing about the area, so am going to devour some stuff online - thanks!

    2 Pro Cape May, New Jersey

    If you were ever to think about recutting it, I would recommend looking to shorten it a little by taking out some of those similar shots and just choose the best two or three clips of each (for instance of the red tower) and less of the streets. Now don’t think I’m flaming it because I’m...

    3 A montage of videos I created for 2022

    That was very cool, absolutely loved the transition from the bridge fly-under to travelling the train tracks. The only dis-jointed part really for me was the inclusion of shots with the operator in it. I thought that detracted from the overall theme but that was a massively good short film.

    Geese everywhere and then some..............

    There are some truly magical moments of footage in there. I would really like to see you edit this further, breaking it into shorter sequences of the best bits, nothing sitting static for longer than a few moments and chopping out the sudden movement portions. I think you would have a beautiful...

    Freak Lightning Storm Caught on tape!

    Yes, three times in the three minutes for the very same shaped bolt, striking the same spot which can be idenotified by the ground lights below. Lots of manipulation in that video...

    Refurbished M2P first flight: appears problematic

    The glitchiness in the display went. There was something I think I found in the menu, but it was over a year ago now and I can't recall what it was. I haven't used it much, hardly at all since I had the zoom repaired (needed camera replacement). I did put the M2 Pro up a couple of months ago and...

    Bird attacks! Do you get a lot of bird encounters too?

    Prior to having a Mavic 2 I used a Yuneec Q500 Typhoon a lot, and in three years it never drew interest from birds. With the Mavic 2 get them harassing the drone frequently. And from almost my first flight.

    Orbit reversed, Mavic 2 Pro

    ? wish it were that easy! It was a real pain as I were videoing a house, starting from by the property boundary. And the drone unexpectedly started to head for the neighbouring property!

    Orbit reversed, Mavic 2 Pro

    Hi all, just going through threads here reminded me of a scenario I encountered several months ago, just on this one day and not again. Whilst In flight I selected Orbit mode, selected target and direction of orbit. When I selected "Go" the drone would fly in the opposite direction to that...

    Refurbished M2P first flight: appears problematic

    Thanks for the responses, I've been out from first light and been seeing improvements, return to home has been spot on for all three flights, from various distances away. The video feed is not as glitchy - however it still is glitchy: image onscreen still freezes momentarily but less often, plus...
