    flying near hot air balloon

    I agree with the advice given here. Keep your distance. I know I would be cursing out the pilot from the balloon if I saw a drone get too close since things can go wrong. One of those scenarios where common sense needs to prevail. Golden rule of flying a drone: Use good judgment.

    Which mobile device are you flying with? (January 2025)

    I used to upgrade on an annual basis during the early years of the iPhone, but the tech has matured so much now that the benefit isn't there to get a new phone each year. I've largely stopped spec chasing for most tech now. Tech is a tool, if I don't run into its limitations/outgrown its...

    3 Iditarod Dog Sled Race 2025

    Really nice job with the video! My favorite part was, "Who wants a free drone? Yeah, ain't going to happen." 😂

    Air 3s and Goggles 3 / Motion Controller 3

    Users are reporting issues with how 50mp images are being rendered from the Air 3S: Air 3S photo quality analysis with comps M2Pro and iPhone 15Pro. I don’t really use the 50mp option, so I haven’t run into the problem. On the Action 5 Pro, people are asking for a way to turn the “HDR look” off...

    Air 3s and Goggles 3 / Motion Controller 3

    I think part of the issue on DJI’s end is that they are in panic mode about DJI being banned in the U.S. and they are focused on launching as many new products as possible while not having the resources to support existing products. That’s why I don’t have any interest in purchasing any...

    Not enough gps lock, is it safe to fly ?

    You’re advertising on a public forum, where your username could be tracked by authorities to your home, about doing illegal activity. I would think this one through some more.

    Need a better video editor

    Davinci Resolve is pretty powerful and perhaps the best editor for color grading, if working with D-Log is your primary intention. The free version has a lot of pro level features.

    Cut video editing in Davinci Resolve

    DaVinci is such a powerful program. I feel like I learn something new every time I am in there doing editing.

    2S for photography and with Smart Controller in 2025?

    The Air 3S is getting ripped apart in the 3S forum. I had limited time with the 3S before winter rolled around, but I didn't have any initial issues with the images. For the pixel peepers, there's some purple fringing when you zoom in to 400% that Topaz eliminated. When spring finally gets...

    Help with image quality- bad moire on roofs etc

    I thought I read that the Air 3S lacks a low-pass filter too, which can increase the cases of moire.

    ham radio

    Congrats! I've had a Technician license for about 15 years now. Got it for storm spotting purposes, but to be honest, I really haven't utilized it much in that time.
