    Mavic Peo and Spark with Samsung S23

    Everything but dji Go 4 transferred from my old S8 to new S23. As I understand Go 4 isn't compatible with newer versions I of Android and the new dji navigation app (Fly?) Isn't compatible with Spark or Mavic Pro. Will I have to use 3rd party app like Litchi to fly old drone with new phone?

    Golden Gate Bridge - Legal To Fly or Not?

    I live in the Santa Cruz mtns and get tired of looking at the tops of redwood trees. A while back I did a session at the SF Drone School on treasure Island. After school I flew my Spark in the area and got some great videos of the Bay Bridge etc. I'm waiting for a clear day to go back with my...

    VLOS ?

    I think the FAA or whoever came up with the acronym VLOS could have used something less ambiguous. I usually think of a line in the mathematical sense as infinitely long, so for a long time I thought I was ok as long as there were no obstructions between my eye and my drone. I found out I was...

    Adding music to videos

    I've spent a lot of time searching for royalty free music for my drone vids. However most of what found is either a few second clips or stuff I didn't care for. I did finally find something RF for this vid, but mistakenly uploaded the version with Julian Bream guitar. Do you guys think I risk...

    I've tried numerous cables. Maybe I just have dirty pockets.

    Flakey USB-C crashed MP

    I spent the morning fishing my Mavic Pro out of a tree after I lost connection from My Samsung S8 to the RC. I'm also constantly losing connections to my car's infotainment system. I've tried cleaning out the USB-C ""charging port" with a toothbrush and blowing out with compressed air to no...

    Flying with feathered friends - suggestions?

    I've been flying around the ocean, but have yet to be chased by seagulls. I've heard numerous stories about gulls attacking drones. I wonder if it's like the time I paddled my surfboard too close to a rock inhabited by seals and they chased me out of the water. I'm guessing it was mating season.

    LUTs for Mavic Pro

    If I ever get the adjustment right I'll save it as a LUT. I'm inclined to go back to using the Mavic presets. A video I shot recently using the True Color preset looks much better than the previous footage of the same location after hours of fiddling with color manual color adjustments and...

    LUTs for Mavic Pro

    Thank you guys both. I'll give them a go. Yesterday I tried the LUTs included with Resolve and found a couple that looked promising, better than my manual tweeking, My main interest right now is ocean and surf videos.

    LUTs for Mavic Pro

    Shortly after I purchased my MP dji discontinued the product and it seems all the 3rd party support ceased, particularly Polarpro a company I have confidence in followed. I'm struggling to get video from the MP that looks as good as that from my Spark. I know it can be done as I've seen many...

    Must be very stupid, but it seems to help

    I don't understand what you mean by "I reloaded the used batteries" Did you reload them on the drone? From the context I suspect you meant you recharged them. That's what I do so I'm ready for my next session. Should I not recharge the batteries till I'm ready to fly? That would be a long...

    Any drone flyers in NorCal?

    Great video. My daughter lives about 15 minutes from there and I've been looking for a good place to fly at American River
