    Drones can crash planes or enact terrorism, FAA fears. Pilots say new rules would ruin their hobby

    The point is there will be some sort of regulations concerning hobbyists, that is inevitable and probably a correct course to take for public safety and privacy. We all see the videos of restricted flying and definitely flights way out of VLOS. Here's the BUT: These rules must be...

    IM SOOOO DEPRESSED

    I hope you can take solace in the fact you will be helping others who want to get that last run in when you know it’s probably not a good idea. To bad you had to learn it the hard way. I went out last Sunday and with the cold and wind, my eyes were tearing so bad I decided it was not worth it to...

    Rainy Season Sucks: Reluctant to Fly Drone

    Bad idea to fly in crappy weather. I find battling the cold & wind so distracting, it makes for a dissatisfying flying experience. Wanting to fly last Sunday, I braved mid 30ºF with 10 ~15 mph winds by the water. My eyes were watering so bad I couldn’t fly more than 400 ft at 125 ft altitude...

    Hello from S. Florida: ZOOOOOOOM!

    Setauket, NY Sunset

    Mark, I am a just starting out with this whole video scene. All I am sure of, Adobe PE will not process video shot in h.265. I shot in 1080 & Dlog and none will render in PE. I am trying out Pinnacle Studio 23 & also PowerDirector 18. Both can handle h.265 4k & d-log. Hope this helps.

    Pinnacle Studio Ultimate 23

    Does anybody use Pinnacle Studio Ultimate 23 software. Will it handle D-log h265 codecs? I am using Adobe Premier Elements 2019 and it doesn’t recognize the h265 format. What other program will handle D-log without breaking the bank?
