    Are waypoints flights always curved??

    This is already at 5mph. I use Litchi as well and was hopeful about this update but looks like it needs work or just won't be anywhere close to how waypoints are on Litchi - not that I really expected that... but I thought a straight flight path would be the most logical thing. I'm baffled that...

    Are waypoints flights always curved??

    I know it's not the same program but anyone that uses Litchi for example and is already familiar with waypoints prior to the latest update knows that while there's options to make curved waypoints the path in between waypoints are naturally straight. Unless one adds some curves on it's path of...

    Do you ever feel guilty for spending on a drone but not having anywhere interesting to take pictures/video?

    I totally feel you on this. I live in the beautiful state of North Carolina however I’m in Raleigh. Though beauty is subjective there’s hardly any beauty in raleigh. I’d have to go to the coast or to the mountains which is so frustrating.

    Anyone else buy just the basic Mavic 3 package?

    I wasn't feeling the price of the fly more combo for the M3. I figured with the higher flight time I'd be ok for the moment and so far I've been right. My work horse is still the P4P but used my Air 2s for some fill in work. Now that I replaced the 2s with the M3 I've had no issues with...

    Thoughts on multiple take offs with same battery/same day...

    Hey all, I know DJI states to only fly with a fully charged battery. I always wonder though is it really that bad to use the same battery for multiple jobs on the same day? Obviously on job #1 for example(in this case my Mavic 3) i can use only 20% of my battery, then on the next job maybe...

    Mavic 3 owners poll...

    Do you use it for professional or recreational? If professional, what type of jobs do you use it for? Thanks all! Just curious to see the real life professional capabilities of this quad.

    Thoughts on progression videos...

    Hey all, I live in a place where it snows about once every 3-4 years. Of course this year we got about 3" of snow. While beautiful I'm annoyed that the snow will change the look of my weekly progression video. In the end it's just going to be a quick time lapse but I'm wondering if my personal...

    Iphone running hot, going dark

    I'm glad I haven't updated mine yet. Let's see how long I can go without having to.

    Air 2S or wait for Mavic 3

    Exactly! Well said. Never wait. You're alive right now and the only thing that matters is right now. Buy it. Enjoy it. Worry about the next thing when the next thing is here.

    Flying from a canoe. Any Advice?

    I'm a little surprised by all the discouraging comments about flying from a canoe/boat/kayak. I've read much more encouraging stuff in other threads here about this topic. Is it potentially dangerous? Yes, it is. Can it be done successfully with proper planning and practice? Definitely. I...

    Drone Vest

    I wear one 100% of the times when I’m flying for work…or for “work“ meaning capturing B-roll type footage. When I’m at the parks or any type recreational area however I do not. The main reason I do when working is bc when anyone sees your vest they know you’re not some perv or creep just flying...

    Air 2S Crashed in the Lake. Why?

    I commented that on his YT vide. To me that seems like the only logical action when done safely and when losing sight of your quad.

    Ipad or phone?

    It was just an antiglare/matte one from Amazon. No big brand or anything. Just one with good reviews. That combined with a hood has been working for me. Additionally, I usually have to take off my sunglasses to see even better but mostly because they're polarized and polarized lenses make...

    Ipad or phone?

    I like the Ipad mini 5 for its size and for the fact that I dont get interrupted by alerts while in flight. Putting it in airplane mode wasnt an option for me as i do need to still be connected to the world while flying. As far as brightness neither has been great. I just bought an...

    Why so much mixed info out there with tower interference?

    Hey all, Just curious why there's so much mixed information on cell tower interference with it our quads. Are there cell towers that cause interference and some that don't? Is there a way to find out before one flies? Any time someone talks about flying close to one for inspection purposes for...
