    NEW Product ! Mavic 3 : Enterprise and Classic Wet Suit

    As someone who flies coastal vistas/surf, rugged coasts almost every week, with significant spray and unpredictable waves, I wouldn't fly without one of @Phantomrain.org 's wetsuits.

    It’s out… Are they nuts?

    I've spent the morning down the rabbit hole of M3 YouTube reviews - as one does! The zoom camera by many accounts is a waste of time, as is the ProRes unless you're using it for serious commercial purposes. There is a distinct feeling that the M3 is half-baked, with a rushed release and no...

    Drone captures encounter between surfers and great white shark near San Diego

    Yep, pretty common sighting here in South Oz! There is an industry just for shark cage diving here. Have seen a few large pointers while droning along the coast, and for the most part the surfers are happy to see me overhead...they get the heads-up if any nasties come calling! Fortunately I...

    Calling all Adelaide drone flyers.

    Not the best of days! Next week will be superb! Touch base next time you venture this way. Thumbswayup

    Calling all Adelaide drone flyers.

    Hey mate, we may have been flying in a similar area over the weekend! Was fantastic weather for it and the coast has been looking incredible. If doing more coastal/surf photography, I'd thoroughly recommend the @Phantomrain.org wetsuits for your drone! Look forward to your shots. Thumbswayup

    What do you think you are doing? This is a No-Drone Zone…

    Also from South Oz and have never had a problem. I think we're a bit more laid back in Australia generally. I always carry paperwork and would only produce it to an authority, not just any Joe Q public. If having to fly where I may get questioned or interrupted I have yellow A-Frame portable...

    I have 2 questions about ND Filters for photography & keeping them on.

    I wish I'd seen a post like this when I first realized I had flying camera. I spent a fortune on ND filters for long exposure and variable filters, etc, ad nauseum. I got completely sucked in by the YouTubers spruiking filters for this and that. Turns out I didn't need any of them! I only...

    Pics of the "leaked mavic 3" and a proposed "leaked mini 3" look virtually identical.

    Agreed. Certainly not pushing my buttons. If this is it, I won't be purchasing one. The logistics for filters, etc renders this quite limited IMO. I can see the creative crews at Freewell and PolarPro face-palming, ripping up plans, cleaning off whiteboards and calling a design-team meeting!

    Second Mavic 2 Operator (Camera)

    Hi folks, I've had a bit of a look round the forum, and I know you can have dual controllers for the Mavic 2 Pro. My question is: Can I attach another tablet to the main remote controller so that another person can operate the camera while I fly?

    Skins on drone

    That looks great! Have just checked your site and will be placing an order soon. Love the skin as well - where's that one from @Phantomrain.org ?

    Flying the Mavic 2 Pro right over a Volcano

    Incredible capture, Ian. Nice flying! Possibly some "once in a lifetime" footage there. Thanks for sharing with us! ??

    DJI Mavic pilots - Australia

    Hi folks, I joined a short time ago, seeking a bit more wisdom, after realising I was flying a drone with a really good camera, not just a toy!! I fly a M2P and MA2, and am based on the Eyre Peninsula, SA. I'm fortunate to have some of the best coastal areas in my back yard. Anyone ever over...

    Calling all Adelaide drone flyers.

    Hi lads, if any of you ever venture to Eyre Peninsula/Port Lincoln (awesome places to fly) drop me a line. Thumbswayup
