    Agreed. I still have a GoPro Hero 2. They are now at 6, with lots of iterations in between. The editing almost sucked the life out of me. I ended up leaving the GoPro at home after a short while, but have recently re-entered the fray. I am not planning on public viewings of the finished...

    Huh? Not sure what your problem is but nowhere did I state that I thought I was "going to just be able to pull it out of the box and shoot bling videos". There is no FAA in the country in which I live. Obviously I can fly where I intend to fly it. What kind of an idiot would drop $1350+++...

    It’s not just the cost for me. It’s also the question as to where these niche drone companies will be 1, 2 or 3 years from now. I would not assume they will be around to help me with any mechanical issues down the road (even if I paid for them to help me), let alone warranty service. I...

    Thanks. Yeah. I have seen videos and read some stuff about the Skydio and AirDog, both of which appear to be designed for totally autonomous flying, geared for adrenaline junkies. Cost is the biggest obstacle with both.

    Thanks. That is 45 minutes from my driveway. Lots of good riding where I am. I am very fortunate. EDIT: not sure why, but I seem to be misspelling a lot of words at this site. Don't worry - I am not illiterate. Lol!

    Thanks for the help and great input. And again, great job on the video. Keep posting them. I will watch them and comment. Hopefully I will be posting some soon as well. From places like this...well, maybe not. I tried to post a pic but this forum isn't like others in that regard. Not sure how...

    Awesome. I loved watching the MA take off. I have not seen any footage anywhere of that and have not seen one fly yet. I was shocked at how quick it was. Have you been flying drones for very long? Is there a learning curve to being able to fly one? I have read the manual and watched every...

    Nicely done. Ripping it up on some hardtails. That was very cool. What did you use to edit your footage?

    Calling all bikers...

    Yes. I would say you certainly have. I love Utah. I have ridden in Moab (and Fruita) about a dozen times now, and made it to the St.George/Hurricane area last year as well. In a word, awesome.

    Mac cannot read Mavic formatted SD card

    Thanks. I wonder how much BS this is going to be for me with my MBP...

    Mac cannot read Mavic formatted SD card

    Is this still a known issue? I am sitting here with an unopened MA FMC, and four 64 GB Sandisk Extreme cards. All can still be returned for a week. I am on the fence as to whether I keep any of it. I was planning to edit using my MBP. This may tip the scale in favour of returning the MA if this...

    Calling all bikers...

    Thanks guys. Much appreciated. I have spent the last 3 weeks watching countless YouTube videos of the Pro and Air, in mountain biking applications and otherwise. I think I have read almost everything there is at this forum and elsewhere online. I started out with the hope that my daughter...

    Calling all bikers...

    Hey guys. New guy here. Are any of you using the Air to capture mountain biking footage? That is why I bought mine. I still have a week to return it if I wish. It sits here in front of me unopened. Not sure how good it will be for this purpose. I just typed a fairly detailed “Hello Everyone”...

    Hello Everyone

    I have been lurking at this site for a few weeks now trying to educate myself. My goal is to capture some serious mountain biking footage of my daughter and me, while I am still able to do so. To this end, I bought a GoPro Hero 5 Black and a Hero Session, but then concluded that both my...
