Grade: B 🥲 Notes: Good establishing sequence but it could be tightened up. Also, if you extend that low-level fly-by of the clubhouse out to the first tee, it’ll flow into the subsequent scene better. When you have luscious footage like those sunbeams, I wouldn’t intercut it with non-sunbeam...

See, this kind of thread is why I keep coming back to this forum. From the OP’s unfortunate mishap and the ensuing analysis, I came to realize that I’ve been somewhat too cavalier in my preflight inspection. My condolences to the OP, and thanks to all.

Excellent work. Visually captivating and well paced. I’d prefer a softer touch with the music, in line with the muted colors and contrast, but I’m niggling now. A very worthy production that you should be proud of.

Many of the turnouts around Horsetooth are actually within the park. I’m sure the wind is also often very tricky due to the terrain. All in all not a great place for someone just getting started. Nor for me, either; I’ve been flying for a couple of years, an Air 2S these days and I don’t fly there.

This may be of some help: https://mavicpilots.com/threads/calculating-the-true-field-of-view-e-g-its-74-5%C2%B0-on-mavic-air-video-not-the-advertised-85%C2%B0.85331/ Your true -of-view is likely not exactly as specified, particularly when shooting video. I realize your question is not about...

Yes. I switched to using Affinity Photo. The problem was in the editor(s) I was using, not the actual image file. Affinity Photo is licensed software, not a subscription like PhotoShop (which I have seen also processes DJI drones' DNG/RAW files correctly).

Coming from the DJI Go4 app, I've found DJI Fly to be fine, just different. Every release seems a bit more mature. However, I do dearly miss how DJI Go4 displays the drone's altitude above the ground whenever the aircraft is low enough for the bottom sensors to function. Fly only gives me...

Quite nice! It might benefit, perhaps, from a slightly tighter edit in some spots. Nevertheless an enjoyable production. The geological oddities you describe are called "hoodoos" in English.

Having perused the document, I'd be interested to hear why you think TX will lose. Specifically, would you expect the law to be tossed in its entirety, or just in part (and which part)?

See reply #16, above.

Many, many volcanoes worldwide are glaciated (even some in the tropics!). For example, Mt. Rainier, near Seattle WA, is covered with glaciers. It is ranked as the most dangerous volcano in the CONUS, with the potential to inflict incalculable damage across an area with millions of inhabitants...

You may want to check with your State fishing authority. I can imagine that this practice could breach regulations in place to prevent drones from giving sportsmen an unfair advantage in the field.

Be the first to explore this use case, and report your discoveries!

I can't say if the video and log files are from the same flight, but the video is definitely not from a flight that experienced a sudden, total loss of power; the drone continues recording video during and after the in-flight failure.

Thumbswayup That these attachments even exist confirms that the DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise was specifically designed to carry a substantial payload. But I can't think of a single "prosumer" quadcopter (like the Air 2S, say) that has a factory-designed payload other than prop guards. Of course, any...
