    Massachusetts

    Everyone in the area enjoying the Spring? Flying out of the Brookfields (west of Worcester) and would love to meet up other people from points as far as Springfield or Worcester and north. I saw Hubbardston, Auburn and Worcester in here. Other than my 9 year old with his Tello, I don't fly with...

    Mavic Insurance

    There has been some information that this "too good to be true" policy of $30-$60 a year for drone insurance may have other effects on your overall insurability with any insurance company. There are certainly insurance databases that all companies have access to. It is not unreasonable to think...

    I'm from Springfield originally. Welcome to Mavic Pilots. Nice to see some people somewhat local to me.

    Bottom Line Camera Settings

    I am not the person you asked the question of but with the above linked program (Davinci Resolve) I have started to mess with LUTs (Look Up Tables) which are, as I understand it, like presets that perform some simple color correcting for you. It is a starting point or a jumping off point. I have...

    Bottom Line Camera Settings

    I am also interested in finding the settings you mention. I'm trying the free Davinci Resolve 14 Public beta (Blackmagic Design: DaVinci Resolve 14). It seems to be very full featured.

    USB-C + bottom USB port = not connecting?

    I use this cable from Amazon and I've been happy with it. I use a ZTE Axon 7 with Android 7.1.1 and I have had no issues with disconnects using USB-C. I bought this cable prior to getting my Mavic, knowing about the issues with the included cable. I disconnect the side cable completely. Your...

    Anyone ever heard of the bower brand filters?

    Looking for an idea of how these work. I'm assuming that you had a chance to test them in a month? I understand that Polar Pro cinema series are the best but I don't have $150 to spend on filters at the moment. Thanks.

    I Think I've Officially Maxed Out On Accessories!

    I just received all my accessories yesterday for the Mavic that will arrive on Friday. I grabbed a backpack, hard cases for the Mavic and controller, gimbal cover/lock combo, filters, faster/bigger SD card, 1 foot USB-C, tablet holder and a landing pad. Don't think I'll be getting leg extensions...

    Massachusetts

    I live in Central MA (the Brookfields, west of Worcester) and my Mavic is on the way this week. I have flown my Phantom 3 Standard all over the area and I'm looking forward to more range and better quality footage. Sounds like a few people here are in my general area (Auburn, Hubbardston). Would...

    First Flights

    I haven't paid yet. I may in the future but for now I am good only seeing so far ahead. I set my wind altitude to 394 ft so I have an idea of what the wind is up there. Scott

    First Flights

    Welcome to Mavic Pilots. You may want to try the UAV Forecast app (UAV Forecast on the App Store) to make sure it's not too windy when you go fly.

    Just ordered the Mavic Fly More Combo, coming from a P3S.

    Greetings All, I have been on here reading in anticipation of purchasing my Mavic and last night I made the purchase of the fly more combo for 1169.00 USD. Got it at an authorized dealer (Wellbots) and I grabbed a few aftermarket accessories from Amazon as well. Having started with a Syma...
