In my experience (Montreal), keeping batteries in a pocket close to your body is enough to keep them at a decent temperature for flying, as stated above. What really bugs me is how fast your hands lose heat to the environment. Anything below 0ish and you have to be prepared. I've tried...

Wondering what you all think of this approach. The weight here will be put on the arms, not on the propellers, hopefully avoiding the bend. Depending on your opinions, I will add a dab of hot glue to also avoid scratches. The white piece is not ideal as it still touches the propellers. The black...

Hey MavicJer, I might give it a try. I usually adjust it using a second phone (just point the camera at the phone and spin the filter until the screen is black).

Gotcha, thank you Meta4!

Nice! Ok, so sun behind the drone (btw, I noticed I see the propellers when the sun is too close to the view angle - I don't have a hood yet). I'm curious about these. Did you rotate the second pic? The shadows seems to be shorter, which would mean a higher sun, but also make it harder to avoid...

Totally with you, thought of one and wrote the other :) You bring up an excellent point, OBSALAM. On the second one we can see the low light bringing causing some shadows at the waves. It's something else to consider! Now I'm considering maybe try both high and low sunlight, and see how...

Hey gang! I have been thinking on the best approach to film objects under water, and wanted to drop it here for discussion. Given that the water is clear enough, how would you approach filming objects that are under water? Yes, probably ND filters to reduce glare, but I'm trying to think on the...

Awesome, Mini 5 it is :) Thanks guys!

I've seen that list, msinger, but it doesn't have specifics for editing vs flying, or did I miss it?

Hey folks! I have a Mavic 2 Zoom and I've been thinking about getting a tablet for both flying and editing videos+photos. Today I fly with a Galaxy Samsung S10+ (on the bigger ends of phones), and edit with a McBook Air. Not a lot of power, gets cranky with big videos, but works. Researching...

Oops, sorry, my bad. It's a Mavic 2 Zoom. I've flown it at higher winds a few times before. The forecast for the whole time there is between 18-21 knots.

Hey gang! I'm going to Costa Rica for a week this coming Tuesday Feb 18th. I did the usual research and while most people had no problem I did find some reference on line of people frowning upon drones nearby. Adding that to the fact that it's forecasting ~21 knots of wind where I will be at...

I'm at the verge of investing on a better screen for my M2Z, and I'm still undecided if Smart Controller or a tablet. I live in Canada, so flying in extremely cold weather is a constant problem. Can anyone vouch for Smart Controller vs Android vs iPad battery behavior in ~8F? I use a Galaxy...

This is good stuff, thanks for sharing Nick.

Chui allé visiter Chicout dernier Juin, super belle ville. J'ai pris des belles videos de la pulperie! Amateur aussi, mavic zoom.
