    Your best Pictures to date (not videos)s

    I like this shot. Photoshop and Lightroom probably wouldn't save the upper right corner though. If you under exposed it a bit, or expose for the sky and worry less about the rest of the image, it's a lot easier to save the darker shadows than it is to recover the blown out highlights like the sky.

    Funny. When I was up in the Adirondacks last week I wanted to fly my drone out over the lake at sunrise and sunset. Woke up to -8°F and decided to give it a go. Burned through almost the first battery when I had to land because my hands hurt too bad. I swapped batteries and decided to fly from a...

    Cool shots. Not sure what you're shooting with but your gimbal looks off quite a bit.

    And just to entertain myself and be a little triggering, these were taken from Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park in Maine. I should probably mention that I never even unfolded the arms. I handheld the drone.

    Haven't been around in a while and didn't realize the old picture thread wasn't being used anymore. Guess I'll throw some of my more recent favorites up in here. First set is from last week during my trip to Old Forge, NY in the Adirondacks. These are a few weeks ago, half a mile down the...

    Gimbal overload

    I tried calibrating again and same problem. Stuck at 5% and seemingly never even tried to start the process. No movement whatsoever. However, moving the drone around with my hand the gimbal seemed to work properly. So I flew it anyway. Burned through a battery. Landed with about 35% left and...

    Gimbal overload

    New video cable and yet another new gimbal ribbon cable showed up today. Assuming I damaged both in the installation last time, I made sure to be much more careful this time around. Opening the camera up was a real pain but ended up not being too bad when I used a razor blade to get in the small...

    Gimbal overload

    I replaced the gimbal ribbon cable. Started back up and now I don't have any image and the camera doesn't move at all. The gimbal settings, where you would find the calibrate gimbal option, are also missing entirely from the menu. I could see damaging the video cable but what are the chances I...

    Gimbal overload

    I'm an impatient person, so about 20 minutes after posting this, I went and ordered a ribbon cable from Amazon. It should come today and I will hopefully open it up and replace it today or tomorrow.

    Gimbal overload

    I'm suddenly getting a gimbal overload warning. I've crashed it in the past but I've flown plenty of times since then. I've lost the ability for the camera to roll. It won't calibrate. It appears to try but it just twitches and eventually fails. I was able to manually roll it in the gimbal...

    I look forward to it. Unfortunately, those windmills are over an hour from me. So it takes some planning. I can't just run out for a good shot if everything seems perfect. Especially for a sunrise sunset shot. And calm days seems to be rare.
