Welcome to the forum from another West Virginian and Mini SE owner.

Not sure why anyone buys the DJI "insurance" when it does not cover loss of the drone. Why not pay for State Farm or other policy which covers complete loss?

If your wife complains about your spending, tell her she is starting to sound like your ex-wife. When she says "I didn't know you were married before," say "I wasn't" and give her a minute to figure it out. Kidding aside, separate accounts and honesty works for me. I buy what I want. If she...

There are both surface models and solid models available for most of the DJI drones. Some are free, the better ones cost a little. Either can be edited.

Ha Ha. I assume you are being sarcastic. Here is a beginners tutorial for Solid Edge, one of the 3d CAD software programs I have used for years. You can download a complete 3d model of the Mavic 2 Pro for $29...

If you have not learned 3d modeling, you cannot appreciate how easy it is to modify an existing design. That is the beauty of 3d CAD. Once you have created a design, it is trivially easy to modify it. I have been doing 3d CAD design for over 20 years. Changing an existing model is now a matter...

You are correct. It is not centered, but look how low it must be to avoid seeing the frame when rotated. If the arms were not raised, it would still see the landing gears. This M3 concept is silly. What would be the point of having the camera rotate 360 degrees if you still see the frame or...

Look at any drone that has a camera which rotates 360 degrees (Inspire, typhoon H) and you will see that the camera would have to centered under the frame and way lower than this, to have the arms and bottom of the drone out of view. This is just someone playing in a CAD program, who has no...

Just somebody's pipe dream, and clearly they didn't think it through very well.

Indeed there are less things to hit over water, maybe a seagull at the ocean or an overhanging tree at the riverbank. The real risk of flying over water, is the inability to recover the drone. Without recovery, DJI will usually refuse warranty or refresh coverage. Best bet is to purchase 3rd...

Bought an Ipad Mini 4. Very disappointed. It was not very bright, the aspect ratio was wrong so there was was a lot of wasted space for the screen size. Sold it and got a Samsung S5e. Bigger brighter screen, GPS included, cost less than the Ipad. Works great.

For a straight cut, just use scissors. To cut out the inner corners as with the ones in my photo, use a Dremmel tool.

I modified some clip on sunglasses to solve this exact problem. They work great.

The moon is really much smaller in the sky than it appears. If you ask someone how big the moon looks, they will say about a foot in diameter or something like that. In fact, if you hold a quarter 9 feet from your eye, it will just cover up the moon. Of course this requires very long arms ;-)

No. The 200 mm shot was with the Canon EF M 55-200 lens. The 400 mm shot was using an adapter to fit the Canon EF 100-400 IS lens on the M50. I have a 1.4X teleconverter for the 100-400 lens but it really does not help. The resulting image is larger but not sharper than one enlarged in software.
