The other thought is to try something like Amazon in Canada or some of the photography dealers in Canada.

B&H Photo, Adorama, etc. But none have any drones left that I can find. As far as people on eBay, etc... no, I don't. I've started using MPB for all of my used transactions (sell to them and buy from them). I would assume any authorized vendor will be in the same situation. B&H Photo (in...

MPB is out of stock but you could create an alert. And, of course, eBay and Facebook market place.

I have a Mavic 3 Cine. With the Hyperlapse Circle, you can set the frequency of shots, the final length of the movie, and the speed but those are not how I would prefer to think about what I'm trying to create. I'd rather have the length of time (real time) that the hyperlapse will take, the...

I need to go out and just do a lot of experimentation but right now, it appears that the limiting factor is the total flight time is capped at 12.5 minutes. The final length of the video and the seconds between frames are connected so that raising one lowers the max of the other. The 12.5...

I found an old thread here. It seems that the time of the final footage is locked into the distance of the track -- which is utterly arbitrary.

I'm trying to do a hyperlapse using waypoints and stumbling into all kinds of obstacles. The way points list saved when doing just way points appears to be separate from the list saved when doing hyperlapse way points. So I went out side and set to way points just to get an idea of the...

I have a DJI Mavic 3 Cine Premium Combo which has the DJI RC Pro controller. I want to do a particular hyperlapse. The central subject is a building and behind it the sun will be rising. I want to start the drone off at some height -- perhaps 6' to make it what a person would see -- and then...

I tend to reformat rather than delete files on all of my camera and video equipment. It just seems easier and safer. I didn’t know the problem about ProRes. I was considering using a micro SD card but now I’ll stick to the internal SSD.

I was transferring files from my Mavic 3 Cine to my M1 MBP and the speeds were 40 MB/s. It took a half hour to transfer a file. I tried the same cable on two different ports. One was on the laptop itself and the other was a port on my USB attached 4K display (which is now several years old)...

Yea. That’s a valid thought. I don’t know what they are going to put up. If it another track of houses, then I should be ok. I’m actually up higher than it appears. I should easily clear a one or two story building. Clearly I don’t know what I’m doing but that’s why I’m doing it. Figure...

For anyone who is curious, this is the first pass. As the description says, I hope to make passes perhaps every two weeks until the project is done and then somehow blend them together. I'm not sure exactly how I will do the blending. I decided to make the passes at the same time according to...

I’m surprised the drone just stops rather than figuring out how to go around the obstacle. In this case, I want to fly the same route around a construction site from the start of the project until the end making maybe 8 to 16 flights. Then tape them together so that during the fly the time...

Has anyone heard any gossip about an update to the Mavic (full size) series? The Mavic 3 Pro came out April of 2023 so it’s been more than a year. The Avata 2 has the O4 air unit. Seems like it is time to update the Mavic series.

It is still frustrating. I created a route with 36 ways points. I know that the Mavic isn’t as precise as the Inspire but I wanted to fly about 40 feet off the ground to make the video more interesting. I created the route by flying it and adding waypoints via C1. But I’ve yet to...
