    Mavic 2 Footage Has Gotten Worse

    Thanks for the reply’s everyone. After doing some messing around, I think the problem was that my export settings had an extremely low bitrate. I’m super new to video and still trying to learn everything. I appreciate all the help.

    Lady threw a rock at my drone

    So interesting story, I was out flying tonight on the beach, in a legal airspace. There were no advisories, airspace’s or restrictions anywhere near me, so it was a 100% legal flight In addition, I was flying out over the ocean to avoid flying over people in any way. A lady with her dog walks...

    Mavic 2 Footage Has Gotten Worse

    Hello All, I just wanted to jump on here and compare two screengrabs from footage I shot at the same waterfall 4 months apart. I don't know what happened to my Mavic 2 Pro in those 4 months, but the footage went from crisp to soft and fuzzy. Both clips were shot in D-Log, 4K 24FPS, f2.8, ISO...

    Interesting Conversation with Police

    Hey guys, I had an interesting talk with a police officer while flying my drone on a Part107 flight just a few days ago and I thought I’d share it! I was out flying in a Class D airspace, I had unlocked the geo zone and gotten approval through LAANC when I was confronted by a police officer...

    Your Best Looking Shots/Video

    Here's an image capture with the Mavic Pro original in Oregon. I like the idea of shooting a pano to increase resolution which some people mentioned!

    DJI OEM Lens Filter Broke

    Thanks so much for the info! Kind of crazy that DJI doesn't sell replacement parts. I didn't realize Polar Pro had UV filters, I'll plan to get that one!

    DJI OEM Lens Filter Broke

    I have the ND4 on currently. I figure I use an ND filter most of the time anyway. I ended up ordering a UV filter off Amazon and hoping that it will do what it is supposed to. Until then, I'll keep the ND filter on. I appreciate the polite response!

    DJI OEM Lens Filter Broke

    Hello, I recently got ND filters for my Mavic Pro 2 and as many of you know, that requires you to remove the stock glass lens protecting filter which DJI includes. I took that stock filter off and noticed it was dirty. I started cleaning it lightly with a microfiber cloth and the glass popped...

    FPV - Visual Line of Sight

    What if you’re by yourself? Does this mean you can’t fly FPV by yourself?

    FPV - Visual Line of Sight

    I’m not an FPV pilot, never flown one, but I was curious about how when flying an FPV drone, you maintain visual line of sight. I’ve seen plenty of people flying FPV’s for commercial use. How do they comply with Part 107’s VLOS requirements if you’re wearing goggles? Even if you weren’t wearing...

    Help with new rule Remote ID reqiuerments

    I’m trying to figure this out like most of us. I’ve heard some people says it’s because of Amazon and UPS that we are getting these rules. I get the idea of tracking drones owned by Amazon and UPS, but why would the FAA need personal drone info? Is Amazon pushing for Remote ID? If so why...
