    New to ND filters

    Right ok that makes sense; I guess for my first question is how long of a shutter speed can I use before I get a blurry photo on a non windy day? Can the mavic hold still enough afor a 1 sec or even 2-3 sec exposure? Just seems too good to be true haha, with a DSLR camera (depending on the lens...

    New to ND filters

    Hello, I have the DJI Mavic Pro 1 and wanted to shoot long exposure waterfall drone pictures. 1) Is shooting at 1 sec with the Mavic too slow for a rushing waterfall during daylight? I want to get that silky smooth water motion blur but for everything else to be sharp. 2) Should I be using...

    DJI to restrict non-compliant drones at next software update

This is what is looks like on my iPad Mini 4 -When I...

    First Ipad, few questions before purchase

    Oh also, I did notice when I plugged in my iPad to the controller, the iPad does NOT charge (unlike w/ my phone, the controller would charge it while I was flying/plugged in). Maybe the iPad requires more power that the controller can't handle???

    First Ipad, few questions before purchase

    Wanted to update everyone considering the iPad mini 4. I've had it for about a week now and I LOVE IT! Before the iPad I used my Nexus 6p and the app would always crash & freeze thus requiring me to cancel out of the app or restart my phone... I got my mini 4 off the Apple refurb site, $319...
