    iPad Mini with cellular, or wifi?

    So it's my understanding that in order to use the drone orientation icon at the bottom center of the Fly app that your ipad must be a cellular version as only cellular-enabled iPads have a GPS antenna. You don't need to have an active cellular account (or even a SIM card) you just need the...

    Mavic Air 2 RTH Issue

    I've had the same thing happen--software updates change my settings. Now I never launch without checking the settings first.

    Sudden descent and uncontrolled landing in strong wind

    It will be interesting to see if the Mini 2 suffers from the same problem.....

    Air 2 Lowlands. An aerial essay. (Feedback appreciated.)

    Well done! I lived on my sailboat on Wilmington Island for a couple years and would have loved to have had a drone to catch some good footage of the low country. I too film a lot over water and appreciate the footage. Good length, kept me interested, good music choice.

    This guy almost lost his DJI Mini 2 in a Windstream - Video

    Well, he should have been expecting it--he flies there all.the.time. Ditto for not knowing why he had RTH set so high--even flying deep into the canyon (- altitude) in the event of an emergency RTH the drone would ascend to 50' above his HP altitude (thus clearing the canyon) if he had it set at...

    What do you guys use for shooting from the ground?

    There's a good amount of Osmo 3 footage in this video I made (including some great hyperlapse IMHO), also used it to take some nice panos that are also in the video:

    What do you guys use for shooting from the ground?

    I use an Osmo 3 with my Samsung S9+ and am very happy with the results. $90 new is a really good price :)

    Air 2 Only The Salmon Know

    I got into drone photography/videography specifically to capture my paddling adventures. This is one of my favorite lakes in the Oregon Cascades and I have been dreaming of making a fall paddling vid here for many years.....I hope you enjoy it!

    DecalGirl vs Wrapgrade

    Anyone use both DecalGirl and Wrapgrade drone skins? I got one from Decalgirl shortly after they were available for the MA2 (no one else had them then), but despite following all the directions carefully it has lifted pretty badly in several areas. I contacted DG and to their credit they sent me...

    MAVIC MINI 2 - UPDATE | Latest Leaked Photos and Spec Info

    Specs and price look nice, but, did they do ANYTHING about the flimsy props and unncommanded descent issues of the Mini? Because price and features don't mean a whole when they're dropping out of the sky.......

    Blade protectors

    I know I would NOT use those. The MM props are very thin, as thus highly prone to warping. Look on the DJI website, they actually sell prop guards for the mini for a pretty reasonable price....
