    Mini 4 Pro Would Not Come Down

    Are there protective stickers on the VPS sensors when new? Maybe he forgot to remove them.

    Backup drive for saving sd cards in the field

    Thanks for sharing this. Will it power an SSD storage drive?

    Best free video editing software

    DR is very demanding. I've had the same problem on my MacBook Pro and my PC with i7, Sapphire graphics and 32 GB RAM. Check out Capcut. It's all I use anymore. Works like a dream.

    3 Fall in the Columbia River Gorge - Mirror Lake

    Nice shot! I have taken some nice drone photos and videos along I-84. I caught a bunch of wind surfers at Rooster Rock one time. Drones are prohibited in part of that area during the summer months due to a nudist beach!

    Best free video editing software

    I've used many video editing solutions. You won't need 80% of the capability of Davinci Resolve. It has a steep learning curve and requires a powerful computer to work well. My all time favorite, hands down, is CapCut. You can learn it quickly, it works great on mobile devices and PCs, and it's...

    drone for windy conditons

    I've had many drones and currently own a Mini 3 Pro, Air 2s, and Mavic 3 Classic. I think they are all about equally stable in gusts when it comes to keeping the camera stable, but if I have to fight my way home against a headwind in sport mode, I'll want the Mavic 3 Classic.

    Detained by Police, Threatened with Arrest!

    I think he was getting rid of the controller to free up his hands so he could defend himself against the aggressively approaching security guard. Once he pushed me, I would have put him on the ground.

    Care Refresh Good Value?

    I have purchased Care Refresh for drones in the past, and did have one claim. They handled the claim promptly. Since then, I have gone with a State Farm personal items policy. It is zero deductible, (vs. $75 for DJI, if I remember correctly), and they will pay if the drone is lost or stolen, as...

    This is sad

    Ian in London is where good drones go to die. I think this makes 3 or 4. Cool story, though.

    You got a great photo out of the encounter!

    DJI care is no longer worth it.

    Two words: State Farm

    Looking for Mini3 Pro photographer response

    You might also consider the Air2s if you want something better than the Mini 3 Pro, but don't want the expense of the Mavic 3. I have used the Air 2s extensively. I always shoot in raw and edit my photos. I don't know if I consider my self a "Pro Photographer", but I regularly submit photos to...

    DJI Mini 3 Pro

    I was in the same situation. I love the iPad Mini 6, and you're right - the setup is a breeze. Once I used the RC controller, though, I don't miss the iPad at all (I still use it with my Air2s). I thought I would miss the extra screen area, but the RC screen looks fantastic! The controller has a...
