    To shoot in 4k or 1080, that is the question..

    I shoot in 4k almost all the time. Occasionally 2.7k. For some reason 1080p on my mavic just looks like rubbish.

    PLEASE CRITIQUE - First commercial job, new Culvers!

    As the others mentioned, I recommend coming down a bit lower and center up the restaurant logo. You need to make it clear straight up that the restaurant is your subject. Otherwise it looks like quite a peaceful area. If you could capture some of the water to the right of the restaurant, it...

    1080 60FPS

    Haven't tried myself. After the first few rubbish 1080p videos I just stuck to 4K. I'll take a look in the next few days once weather clears up and see if it's better on my end.

    First Flight, Phone Cut Off

    Just out of curiosity, if you're not running iOS, what are you running on your phone? It definitely sounds ds like a hardware problem. I've been using my iPhone 6s with my mavic and no issues at all.

    Sunset above the clouds

    Great video and awesome shots! Just a question to the broader group, would there be any concerns around moisture and the mavic when flying through clouds? I have a lot of low flying clouds around my area.

    Samsung S8 questions

    I had the same problem. I now always fly with an iPhone as it hasn't had an issue thus far and just use my S8 when the iPhone dies. But I ha e noticed the connection is more stable now with the S8 after the last round of updates. I updated everything so I couldn't say which update made the...

    Most nervous I’ve been

    Well done! The nerves definitely ease up over time. My first flight, someone walked by and commented on how much I was shaking haha

    Dji go flight quiz uk

    I've started to see an increase already. Saw a Mavic and a Phantom flying over a crowd of thousands last night over a street full of Christmas lights. The mavic flew in low, about 15-30m over the crowds head for what I assume was meant to be a street level fly through. Given the flight path, I...

    Line of Sight Friend or Foe?

    I do get that. However I know roughly where my drone is at all times. I just physically cannot see it at say 600-700 meters away even if in a direct line with no obstacles between us. A helicopter, plane or hot air balloon is far easier to see at that distance and thus easy to descend once you...

    Line of Sight Friend or Foe?

    I do my best to keep it within VLOS if I am even remotely near people or buildings. But if I look away to look at my screen, its easy to lose sight of the drone. If I'm out in a remote location then I'll fly beyond VLOS to get the shot I want want. Eg. Full mountain view and these are often...

    Firmware : v01.04.0100

    It's quite odd and I agree that being the same hardware, you would expect the same results. I have since tried the S8+ again with the Mavic and so far so good!

    Firmware : v01.04.0100

    Funnily enough my experience is the opposite. I only ha e issues with the S8+ but not my 6S+. The only reason I still keep my iPhone is purely for the Mavic. I have much more faith in flying with the 6S+ than the S8+
