    Mag interference Check app

    Hello, I had a similar experience when I did the latest update. At 93% complete the "Mag interference.Check App" message started to flash and the Go4 app stopped responding, appeared hung up. I use an IPhone 8 and started the update via my home WiFi network. So, I shut everything down and...

    Dumb Osmo Pocket Question

    I've commented on another thread on how much I enjoy my OsmoPocket. I'm especially fond of using the pano modes. Here is an example of what it can do right out of the camera and stitched in the app. I will then bring the individual frames into LightRoom for global adjustments and pano stitching...

    DSLR: Crop sensor vs Full-frame sensor

    I’ve been a bit hesitant to jump into this debate since I’ve been following the pros and cons of full frame (FX) vs cropped (DX) for quite a while and I know how “partisan” it can get (kinda like Nikon vs Canon) , but I’ve found a very effective use of both body types in my photographic tool...

    April Blooms

    Well, in the spirit of drone diplomacy, I made an A4 (8x10) print of this image and presented it to the bulb farmer whose house and fields are in the picture. Needless to say, he was taken completely by surprise but very pleased with my little gift.

    Thanks for the compliments. As an avid amateur photographer I realized the expanded compositional opportunities a high quality drone like the M2P could provide. An image like this could only be captured from a drone.

    Close encounters and near misses

    It is spring time in Holland and the bulb fields are coming into full bloom. I planned a waypoint mission for my MP2 around some fields near the town of Lisse and went out this morning to see how it would fly. I chose a Sunday morning just at dawn to reduce chances of encounters with other...

    Resilient!

    Thanks for the cautionary advice. I'm aware that there will always be a doubt about a sudden malfunction. So, I will be extra careful what missions I take this one on. Also, I have another for more adventurous flights.

    KB, I wish! Lots of old estate properties in this part of Holland that look very dramatic from a drone's eys view.

    Resilient!

    Hello, Just an update that the drone is still performing well. Had it up early morning yesterday for some photos.

    Resilient!

    I’m a rookie to drone flying getting my first, M2P, in October of last year. In learning to fly I’ve tried to be extra careful about where I am flying and how I am handling the controls. That worked well until New Year’s Eve 2018. I was scouting a flight area to capture the firework displays...
