    Mavic rubbish at night they say....

    It’s funny how the uninformed public is afraid of drones falling from the sky, and yet will park their cars and camp out underneath aerial bombs, exploding overhead. Humans, smh.

    Mavic rubbish at night they say....

    Great videos NickB. Just a thought; have you tried portrait mode for fireworks? The MP has a good camera, but without optical zoom, we have to rely heavily on post processing for cropping, which will lower resolution . Here's a comparison, (my dslr pics) to illustrate composition. Portrait for...

    Cold Weather Flying?

    I have to agree with Rnl on this. Wild deer are suspicious of everything, and will be more alarmed by a human with a camera at 100 yds, than this uav at 10 yds. I enjoy wildlife photography, and wild deer are very difficult to get close enough to photograph; likely because of our scent. These...

    Nice work! Lots of deer here in N. Alabama. Always looking for new ways to use my MP. IKR!

    Cold Weather Flying?

    Just wanted to offer some info from memory, not Google, lol. Simply put: cold is the enemy of batteries, but electronics love the cold. So, while batteries lose efficiency and capacity the colder they get, but will be damaged by high heat; electronic circuitry, especially CPUs, are more...

    Professional investigator concludes - "what's the fuss about?"

    Not to be a know it all, but lisadoc is half right. Those are actually thawed whole chickens fired through an air powered cannon at flight speeds, and impacting the aircraft cockpit canopies of fighter, and commercial planes secured to a ground mounted frame. The impact is recorded with ultra...

    First Wedding Video - ALL Drone footage plus Things I Learned

    Hilton in West Palm Beach, Fl. Got my self customized SKB, (carry on size) case ready for the trip! SKB i series btw, makes super secure waterproof cases in many sizes. Somewhat pricy, but when you're toting $2500 worth of Mavic and Apple goodies, it doesn't make sense to skimp on the case, imo.

    Nice quality pro bono work! Appreciate the tips. My stepson is having a beach wedding in December. Hmm, there could be some awesome perspectives from the ocean. I would pay for your work.

    MavMount Review

    Flew with the 10.5 pro today;it's like a big iPhone! Got the Apple pen, just for fun. Mavmount ordered. I would've gone the mini route, but also needed something a little bigger to edit 2.7 and 4K. Soo, went kinda middle ground between mini and iMac. I've got a Vaio that does 1080p, but that's...

    MavMount Review

    Picking up an iPad pro 10.5 today, as I too have a difficulty composing on a tiny screen. I will be ordering a Mavmount for it after reading the positive posts. Love your username and avatar Capt. Oveur!

    Post your best Photo From Mavic

    Didn't try RTH yet, as the boat is constantly moving, and I felt more secure in my landing skills than in the controllers. lol. I'm not sure if the MP can land on a moving pad, but I will try later. Still learning. :)
