    Cruising with my Datsun Glendora Ridge {active track}

    Thank you. And yes sometimes i imagine the datsun is a ferrari 250 gt california and california as the hills in Italy. @TrayBoz I mainly use active track, haven't tried 3rd party apps to control drone yet, not entirely sure about using a diff brain other than the one dji povided though it will...

    Show me your bag/case!

    Hey bud, sorry for the late reply. It doesn't have room for a laptop and its really tight with all the gear. Its actually a pretty small bag. Which i like. Its a lowepro bag, not sure which model.

    Chance to use Taco-rc ND32

    @shickey @Brett Newman thanks guys. Brett i used an iphone 6, iphone 7 plus, dji osmo mobile gimbal, and go pro hero 5. I tried to take some shots with my canon sl1 dslr camera too, but without a proper tirpod it's really hard to get get steady shots out of it.

    Chance to use Taco-rc ND32

    Thanks, and i agree with you, ends up giving you what i feel is a more even color. One thing i did do in post is to slightly desaturate the shadows. Got that tip from some site... they mentioned it helps achieve that look a bit more.

    Downtown LA with my Datsun

    Hey @ayoung89 I'm also a beginner and mavic is my first drone too. I recommend Final cut pro, or imovie if you have a mac. I tried premier pro but didn't like it much. Give it a shot. @Nomand Eloc Thank you :)

    Downtown LA with my Datsun

    Hey @coastie_steve, mavic took care of the rising shots, one where the car passes a fence, the overhead tracking shot and the rising shot towards end. The rest of the gear is DJI Osmo mobile with moondog anamorphic lens and gopro hero 5. I did spend some time doing this but not much. About 4...

    @mchrisb03 I just emailed yesterday and they said they would ship out another unit. Mine seems to have gone lost like yours. Another weekend of mavic videos with overblown highlights... sigh..

    What Video Editing Software Do You Recommend?

    I have a subscription to adobe for business, and tried premier pro and final cut pro and decided to stick with final cut pro. For me the decider was ease of use. Obviously this is a personal thing, but i spent equal time with both and found that final cut pro was a bit more beginner friendly...

    Taco-rc Filter shipping time

    Thanks for the replies, @mchrisb03 i'm on the same boat as you. Mine was picked up 30th, and updated the 3rd with 'In transit' status. And yes Amazon certainly has spoiled us. I was just telling a buddy how i'm reluctant to order from other sites because with amazon prime i know it will get here...
