It's a nice part of the world.

Here's another quicky flyover, this time over Arrawarra Headland, located on the north coast of NSW. Arrawarra Headland

This is the third and final video from our 4-week road trip at the end of last year. Tiona, NSW, Australia.

Don't expect anything but acrylic or mineral glass on this kind of gear. Simple solution: Polywatch is what I use for removing scratches from acrylic watch crystals. It'll do the same job on the controller. https://www.polywatch.de/en/

Hi all, here's a quick'n'dirty over Tuggerah Lake on the Central Coast of NSW in Australia. I didn't really have anything to work with and there was only about 20 minutes of sunlight left, but I gave it my best shot anyway. :) Tuggerah Lake

For anyone that's upgraded their firmware to .650, you'll notice that it breaks Google Play. Although slightly inconvenient, I had to do a factory reset and install the Google stuff and my existing apps all over again. As all of my large data sets (OzRunways, HEMA Explorer, etc.) are on the SD...

And they're bloody noisy too.

Shooting a property yesterday, a flock of Yellow-Tailed Black Cockatoos swarmed my drone before I could blink. After a second or two I realised there was no danger (it was obvious they weren't going to touch it), so I kept shooting and enjoyed the ride. I ended up using the footage in the shoot...

That's absolutely true! I shaved the cat once by flying a racing drone upside down right over its back and I haven't seen it since!

No, all of it was manual flying.
