Thank you for a most enjoyable journey. How do you achieve the silky, cinematic style? What frame rate and I assume you slowed it in post? Great editing and music.

I’m in Australia and I understood. Not bad for a “dinkumAussie”😁😁😁😁

Responsible drone operators should confront this store and the importer. Where was it?

Tried to launch from a table in a park. Metal frame. Timber panels secured with bolts. Mavic said no. Moved one metre to cement base around table - no problems. I guess the metal frame was more of a problem than the rebar in the slab.

You may well be correct. The S5 is my go to phone. The S7 was given to me and factory reset and it does have double the memory. I guess this is the point I was making. Make sure that you have sufficient resources to handle the DJI software/hardware?

I consider myself to be a"nervous" Mavic Pro flyer. I should never have read the "horror" stories. I have taken every software and firmware upgrade and never, ever had any flight problems. BUT- as updates progressed my Samsung S5 was no longer powerful enough. I aquired an old S7 and it works...

My friend, this hobby is not for you! If you are frustrated by a cable, just wait until you start flying. It's a huge learning curve to master this remarkable, very capable machine

Agree with Prismatic. Shutter speed is a critical factor. Even with ND32 I sometimes have problems getting shutter speed low enough. Panning speed/smoothness is also a factor. Have you tried Tripod Mode? It may also have something to do with computer/phone processor power when editing. I used...

After 12 months and no problems, me too-still! Remember, hands off, this magic little bird simply hovers. Trust it. Go through the pre flight check list. Ensure that everyhing is normal. Initially set battery warnings on the high side- gives you plenty of time to deal with issues. Eg- instant...

Aliexpress and Ebay have them. Not sure how sturdy they are. Search for Mavic Pro transmitter mount.

I have noticed that birds show little interest until I reach treet top level or above. Then they seem to come out in numbers. Never had one actually attack the Mavick, but they do get menacingly close. I pack up and leave. Not worth the risk.

Exactly my situation. Keen photographer, scared Mavic pilot! Recently out cruising on my motorcycle and spotted interesting old mining structure. It was a feature of a park with a few ladies enjoying morning tea while their kids played on the swings about 70 metres off to the side. The image of...

74 25 mentally, 95 physically. Still riding my cruiser motorcycle with Mavic tucked away in the saddlebags!

Were you flying with the gimball cover on? I can see some reflections or sun rays in your video I'm pretty sure that I have read somewhere that the Mavic may react strangely when flying into the sun!

Did anyone notice the drone in the background during the recovery of crashed aircraft on the Hawkesbury this week? I thought recovery/police actions etc were "no go". Perhaps it was an approved flght.
