    Gimbal freak-out in flight when switching from video to still camera

    Happened to me last week. Camera settings also reset. I was shooting sunrise & thought Sun might have caused it.

    Mavic movement

    Will that also level the camera up to the horizon?

    Help with mavic pro photo quality

    Hard for me to look at IPhone screen in summer light & adjust camera so I rely on histogram & bracket 3 shots per scene.

    How and where do you store your Mavic?

    I finally found a backpack that will hold & protect my Nikon, Hero 5, Mavic & related equipment. It is called "AmazonBasics". I use it for storage & in the field.

    No control due to Mag interference

    Write this off to inexperience. If you replace the Mavic find a large, open area to practice. Take a section of the manual & get comfortable with how & why she operates as she does. Good flying.

    Beach flying and concerns?

    Wet sand is a perfect surface for take off & landing. I also do use struts.

    Neighbourhood busy bodies

    Rangers at Huntington Beach are cool. They say, "have fun just don't fly over other visitors."

    What settings do you use to balance light differential between sky & ground?

    Gimbal problems mid-flight

    I've had exact same occurrence. Did a recalibration & for now no issues. The why is a mystery.

    B4UFly vs Hover

    I've noticed a significant difference between these programs in the boundaries of restricted areas. I call the local tower based on B4UFly only. Thoughts?

    Good Lord! Find Me A Place To Fly!!

    All circled up here, but a call to the local regional control tower has always yielded an affirmative to fly within recreational perimeters.
