    Hawaii Public Beach

    Sometimes people feel that a drone in close proximity is somehow interested in them. Basically, stay away from people with your UAV unless they know and approve of your close proximity. One thing you should know and may share with those who are concerned about privacy is that satellite...

    gimble issues

    I've noticed some heretofore unseen gimbal twitches, wobbles and jello in my images. It seems to be exacerbated by wind and certain movements. There's no way to get useable footage with this intermittent instability. Of course, this could be from a number of causes. What's your thought? mahalo

    Controller $10 prep to Save $a few hundred..USB Port Problems?

    From my experience, the magnetic connector is much too fragile in a working environment. Just barely touching the cable while in flight can cause it to disconnect from the remote.

    MP2 controller micro USB board

    My MP2 controller had finally puked out. The micro USB female port o the side took one too many upsidedown attempted connections from the male micro USB plug. Of course, there's only one repair, and that is to replace the entire board that is integrated into the female USB. I bought the Mavik...

    4K not sharp

    My monitor outside of my laptop is a 3K monitor. I can't help but think that its my focus. I've been trying to replicate the problem. I think I need to go back to the route, time, etc. and try again with a Very carefully checked focus. thanks guys, it was making me crazy..

    4K not sharp

    Perhaps I've got something screwy, but when I look at my 4K footage on my computer at 100% it seems to be less sharp than my 3K footage at 100%. Huh,, is there something inherent with 4K sharpness or did I shoot out of focus? (That'd be weird) thanks

    Do not fly any drone in Key West

    I always amazes me when drone pilots are intimidated into federal airspace by local "authorities." The airspace through out the entire US is the exclusive purvue of the FAA. Of course, local municipalities and states may pass laws, but unless those laws are OK'd by the FAA, those local lawmakers...

    Hawaii Filter Advice?

    Good on ya, Maestro. I have one too. so the thing to do is get the three Cinema CP/ND filters for the Mavik Pro 2 from Polar pro. They come in a set.

    Hawaii Filter Advice?

    Aloha, It'd help if you said what flavor drone you have. Nevertheless, I can tell you this: If its sunny you could certainly use a N16. Overcast, N8 OR 4. I'd recommend using combo filters that include circular polarization in them. Not knowing what sort of drone you have limits my specifics...
