Your last statement is similar. Not really a malfunction, just doesn't work until I switch out of Cine mode and then back into it. After that, no problems. But I will check the settings to see if anything's amiss. thanks

I will see about that. Offhand, I'm not familiar with what the rates are, so I need to do some learning.

I will look for the "sideways flight" setting. As far as starting in another mode, it hasn't been a huge problem, only that it seemed to have changed (without my doing so). On the other hand, I could have inadvertently hit that switch when doing something else. My inquiry was more curiosity than...

I've had an Air 2 for about 3 years now. So far, operates well, love the battery length, etc. I usually fly in Cine mode. That means, when I start everything up, it's in that mode. I'll take off, hover at about 10 feet for a few moments, and usually, my left and right (strafe?) controls don't...

It's asking for all my credit card info before telling me how much it is. I believe it used to be $5.00. Is that still true?

Pretty similar. Same URL, etc. Slightly different layout and mine is "wordier." Attached. Seems all the info is correct. It's just that these days, it gets harder and harder to determine whether some unsolicited email is legit or not.

I received a reminder that it's time to renew my UAS registration. Looks like the facts are correct. Is this legit?

Nice pix. Mind if I ask what part of WI? I'm a bit west of Madison, in the driftless region.

Hey, it's a good idea. Breeding them could be way cheaper than buying new ones all the time. And if you don't use 'em, make an omelette or something. Might be a little crunchy, though.

I was going to ask if they were mating in that first picture, but that would be inappropriate... so I won't ask. :-)

I've been using Vegas Pro since about 2007 and love it. Pretty intuitive, has lots of features, great audio editor, too.

I used to hand catch my Phantoms routinely if I was on dusty or sandy ground, but their landing gear were like two big handles, so it was much easier than the Mavic.

It will automatically turn on by default. Written in the Department of Redundancy Department. :)

I just saw some pictures from Mars. One included a drone. I was thinking about it and about the thinner atmosphere. In a thinner atmosphere, would our drones have trouble flying? Does the Mars drone need higher RPM? It looked like the blades were wider/more surface area. Must be all...

Well, just from my (possibly over cautious) point of view, if anything ever goes awry and it has to return to home, if you boat moved, home might be a spot in lake. If you take off from, say, a dock, you can always retrieve it without SCUBA gear.
