    Atlanta checking in...

    Cochran Mill Park in Palmetto - I've shot there several times

    Atlanta checking in...

    Photography was the primary reason I got my drone. So far I've been impressed, we're obviously somewhat limited by the small optical sensor. What part of Atlanta are you in?

    Cheap waterproof case

    Found this Husky brand locking / waterproof case (up to 10 feet deep) on clearance at Home Depot for $9.88. The store I went to had a lot of them in stock. I used the cardboard mold from the original box just to keep it from touching the controller while in transport but this isn't really...

    Storage / prop strap

    I found a 2" wide Velcro strap at Home Depot that's perfect for securing the props for storage in the DJI shoulder bag (or anything else). Just take 1 of the 36" straps and cut off 18" from the end of the plastic loop, cut out the plastic loop itself, and glue the plastic loop back on to the...

    Simple way to number batteries

    Not everyone wants to do anything "permanent" to their batteries. If I have a battery go bad and want to renumber them, I don't want to mark through an old number and draw another one. Just a personal preference. No one is trying to convince anyone that you should or how to number them; just...

    Simple way to number batteries

    I've seen several ways to number batteries (helps to ensure equal rotation) but I wasn't crazy about what others were doing. I already had these dots (I use them to block alloying LED's on electrical equipment around the house) and figured it would be an easy way to number them that is...

    -2.0 EV in manual mode: no option to change?

    I did a quick search and cannot find the answer to this question; my apologies if it's already been answered. When in Manual Photo mode, the Exposure Value is preset to -2.0 EV, and I cannot find any settings to put it back to Zero. I can adjust shutter and ISO, but not the overall EV. Anyone...

    Skins for Mavic.

    I got a brushed Titanium kit in from iCarbons and I have to say that I'm pretty impressed. The material they used is thick enough that it doesn't bend upon itself when you peel it off the wax paper backing. This makes it really easy to line up before you apply it. They also have cut-outs so...

    How are you guys scouting air space / elevations before you launch?

    2 questions: How are you checking to see if flight is allowed in an area before you drive there? Is there an app available that shows restricted air space? How are you guys checking the highest elevation around you to set your RTH elevation before you launch? Again, is there an app? I know...
