    Police called after flying in my own backyard

    I think generally people overestimate what a drone camera can see/zoom in on and that causes them to worry about the sort of footage the drone operator might be obtaining, when in reality a consumer drone is generally not going to take invasive video or photos unless it is super close to the...

    Looking for the Hasselblad camera cover glass

    I also found some on Aliexpress that may be easiest/cheaper than using Amazon depending where you are in the world. You can normally change the shipping from free to ePacket for about $1 to speed up shipping (there are even more expensive options but to Australia anyway they're normally way too...

    PP ND Filter Case Magnets

    I emailed PolarPro about the issue, they said the magnets will only cause issues if the AC is powered on. I am happy with that as they're otherwise good cases and will just be careful to keep my bag away from the unit while powered on.

    M2P ND filter Skyreat vs FStop Labs vs Polar Pro

    Nice one. Both look like good options. A weight comparison between them and the stock filter might be interesting if you happen to have some accurate scales

    My sob story

    Make sure you contact the local police station - someone might have taken it there as lost property. It’s what I’d do, especially if you didn’t leave a phone number.

    PP ND Filter Case Magnets

    As a temporary fix, a six pack almost fits in an empty full sized CD case. It is just a bit too thin (you could certainly trim some rubber and it would fit, but I wouldn't recommend it). Perhaps if you had a double sided CD case with a removal centre insert. The closest things I can find on...

    PP ND Filter Case Magnets

    Interestingly the part that holds the filters is a single piece of rubber that can be removed from the case (it isn't glued down) - I wonder if we can find a cheap generic case that will fit the rubber insert (or be big enough for it to be glued into) Also these magnets are pretty strong -...

    Has anyone received their pre-ordered PolarPro filters?

    I received mine yesterday, quality seems quite good. My only concern is with the magnets in the case after watching @Ikopta's youtube video on them. Not sure if there's a risk of the magnets magnetising the screws in the device while they're in storage and causing permanent damage or whether...

    $50 ND Filter Set for the Mavic 2 Pro

    Nice video I believe @Skyreat have updated their design now to fit with the gimbal and make the polarisers adjustable. They might replace your older set if you ask nicely

    Mavic 2 Pro fell out of the sky yesterday....

    Sounds like a battery issue - probably just needs to be replaced? Also I don’t think you should have to use DJI refresh - I’d try a warranty claim

    Has anyone received their pre-ordered PolarPro filters?

    That's to help remove the stock filter - check out this video from PolarPro for how to install the filters and use this tool to remove the stock filter

    DJI Mavic 2 Pro ND Filters - Skyreat **GND Filters**

    Are these being sold any other way than through Amazon US? To ship to Australia this way requires shipping to an US re-direct service & back to Australia and will result in a ~2 month turn around (and/or a very big shipping fee)

    3d Printable Lens removal tool

    I imagine Fstop labs will have them for sale soon, since they look to be into that sort of thing :) Until then www.shapeways.com is an easy way to print them (fstop labs could also sell them through that site if they wanted to). I'd probably print this in Versatile Plastic (a processed variety...

    Mavic Air wanted

    You can buy the controllers separately on ebay and I believe also through DJI support - might be the best option to go with the new drone? Update: Here’s a couple on eBay Brand NEW DJI Mavic Air RC Remote control Genuine Australian Stock & Warranty | eBay Brand new DJI Mavic Air Radio...

    3d Printable Lens removal tool

    Nice one. Unfortunately it’s about 3 hours late for me - I just bought the polar pro filters and their removal tool was the tipping point (I even searched thingiverse for a tool just like this). This tool actually looks like it’ll help more in the removal and mounting of filters, so I’ll still...
