    New to drones intimidation!

    If I can do it you can too. I'm 80 years old. Bought the Mavic 2 Pro when it was first sold one year ago. Viewed some great YouTube tutorials, exercised for a while and since then had a great time with hundreds of flights. I'm a landscape photographer and discovered a new world.

    Home Inspector buying Pro 2 or Zoom

    I assume that you have permission to fly over the roofs, which you want to inspect. Do you want an overall view of the roof or to you have to zoom in on specific smaller areas? I have the PRO 2, which makes fabulous photos. 20 MP photos can be enlarged to quite an extend for closer looks. I...

    Oh boy... we are all flying spy drones! DHS warns of 'strong concerns'

    Where is the proof for this statement? As long as I don't have an Internet connection nothing will happen anyway. Even if they would do it I have no secrets as I move around public space where anyone can do the same thing. Nothing of political interest to anyone.

    Scary question

    I believe that the moment the propellers touch the balloon the drone will drop down.

    Gimbal motor overload

    Yesterday I was flying to shoot photos of a castle. At a height of app. 200 feet I got the message: "High wind." Land ASAP. Shortly afterwards the next message: "Gimbal motor is overloaded." Is that the result of high wind? I soon landed the drone with lots of photos and w/o problems.

    Unscheduled Drone Demo

    Yes, it happens quite often. The moment people see me flying my drone they are interested and start asking questions while I'm busy. That's why I try to avoid them as much as possible.

    Mavic 2 Pro, or Phantom 4 Pro for a photographer?

    I made a video lasting 34 seconds to test stability. To my surprise the drone didn't move at all. With my Nikon DSLR I don't make photos longer than 1/40th second. I wanted to upload that video, but I got a message saying that mp4 files are not allowed.

    Why am I reading about lots of people having lots of problems with Mavic drones?

    Hi young man of 64 years, I am 79 and bought the M2P because as a serious photographer I want to explore opportunities as I never had before. I'm surprised how smart and reliable my drone is and had only minor problems some of which were my fault. I too found the manual insufficient, but quickly...

    I swallowed my pride and got an iPad.

    The maximum size of my RC unit for holding the mobile/iPad is 16,5 cm. The size of the I-Pad Mini4 is 20 cm. How did you make it fit?

    Mavic 2 Pro, or Phantom 4 Pro for a photographer?

    Thanks, underneath the images the camera type is listed: drone photos have a Hasselblad LID-20c, almost all others are different Nikon cameras. My last photo was made out of a plane by mobile phone. The startrails photos are each 4 hours exposure time. I didn't own any other drone before

    Mavic 2 Pro, or Phantom 4 Pro for a photographer?

    I do not have the problems with my M2P as described above. Bought it 3 weeks ago. I'm a demanding photographer since 20 years and bought the drone to extend my possibilities for different perspectives and getting to previously unaccessible views and areas. I'm not much interested in video...
