    How to fly a drone front of a forward moving car?

    Sit in the back of a vehicle with an opening like a pickup truck or SUV that has a lift gate you can open and just hold the drone. Seriously. I work in TV/Film and have been asked to both follow and lead cars with actors. Works great, is way safer, and you can go for miles. When following, I’ve...

    Hyperlapse with Mini 3 Pro.

    Maybe the drone is trying to alert you to the fact that it's illegal to fly in Santa Monica and over freeway traffic.

    Mavic pro 2 controller not charging as it should

    My advice is send it in. DJI makes it pretty easy and affordable and the turnaround time isn't bad. I spent a lot of time stressing over this issue and ultimately sent mine in and felt better about it.

    Harness/Lanyard Adapter for RC Pro Controller

    Thanks Mirko. I printed this and have been using it for a while now - works great. Did mine in PLA and it seems plenty strong but I have nagging doubts in the back of my head. Think it's ok with PLA? What are those tassle-looking things you have attached to it? I'm using a simple lanyard with...

    Air2S FlyMore bag - brand new

    Ha! Yeah, I totally agree but there's always someone willing to buy an *all original DJI branded ooh la la* bag no matter how worthless. I sold my Mavic 2 Pro bag for just $10 less than retail. Total shock to me. My kid is too old for diapers now but maybe I'll use it as some sort of accessory...

    FPV w/Mavic 1 Pro?

    My FPV days are over. I got some Racing Edition goggles used. Went out with my Mavic Pro to do some simple flying - nothing crazy. Barely clipped a tree branch and the drone fell all of 6 feet into relatively soft grass. Repair estimate for the gimbal: $400. Racing Edition goggles in excellent...

    Mavic Pro services and/or repair

    Sounds great. I just spoke with them on the phone. I'm going to send it to them. Thanks.

    Mavic Pro services and/or repair

    Does anyone know how the above recommended services compare to sending directly to DJI? I messed up the gimbal on my Mavic Pro. DJI will send a free shipping label so they can assess the damage but I can't find any info on whether or not they still charge an inspection fee if I decide not to...

    FPV w/Mavic 1 Pro?

    I did fly a friend’s FPV drone the other day and it was wicked cool and I get it’s designed for that and the Mavic isn’t but I’m not interested (at this time) in the acrobatic possibilities so I’d think using the Mavic would be fine for flying around through that perspective. I’m not sure which...

    FPV w/Mavic 1 Pro?

    I currently have my Mavic up for sale but have been curious about FPV for a long time. The DJI FPV drone, as cool as it is, is a bit rich for my blood right now especially as it would just be for occasional fun. I’m considering hanging on to the Mavic, getting some goggles, and using that for...

    What exactly does EV change when in manual/pro mode?

    I'm interested in what exactly is going on when in PRO mode shooting video. The f stop is fixed at 2.8. I was in a situation where it was pretty bright out so I set the ISO to 100 and locked the shutter. I kept pressing -EV and the image did get incrementally darker but I didn't notice any of...
